Continuing work, and ahead of schedule, of the new edition of my Explore Gower beaches page.
Daughter of Darkness by J.. Lowell
I have finally got my hands on a decent copy of this book, the first novel I ever read in one day:
It is similar to, though not quite in the same league as Elizabeth by Jessica Hamilton. And annoyingly (for me at least), just like Elizabeth, it was written under a pen name.
J.R. Lowell is actually a pseudonym of the husband and wife writing team Jan K & Robert M Lowell.
As you can see from the pic below, I have a bit of a soft spot for this book and its various editions:
Avalon 2 86/100
This was a bit of technical challenge to get published. But, finally, on day 86 of my 100 day challenge, Avalon 2 has been published. You can buy yourself a copy here.
Cheap Thrills and Sunken Treasures
Took a half day from work and visited my favourite local garden centre this afternoon.
I do love the plant pots they sell. They look like sunken treasures from a long lost civilisation that have been rescued from the oceans. Unfortunately, they carry a price that reflects that look - ranging from £40 for a small pot to £200 for the larger ones!
Though I had to leave without one of these acheing beautiful items, I did pick up a bag of duck food for 50p at the garden centre till, which was really enjoyed by by the comical birdies:
It Starts...
As my 2025 creative projects are entering their final stages, it's time to announce a book I have now started work on and will hopefully publish in 2026. It is a Lego build quiz book where you have to guess the title of the horror film from the still of a lesser known scene I have reacreated from the little plastic bricks.
As an example, here is my first Lego build from a scene of one of my favourite classic horror films:
Billy on a Bike
Whilst I am certainly not a fan of the Saw films, this was a must-have for my horror Pop Funko collection.
An August Leaf
Spent the day in the garden chilling and making the most of the Summer weather.
A richly-hued leaf fluttered to the ground before me as I read, reminding me of the ever- rotating wheel of the season. Autumn will be here before we know it. I tucked the leaf in my book as a useful bookmark, and savoured the heat of the sun all the more day because it transient nature.
