I barely have time to give an update this month, so I’ll be brief. In addition to trying to grab a bit of holiday here and there, most of my time has been spent making final tweaks to the manuscript for my supernaturally tinged mystery thriller novel, A Thorn in Winter, along with providing input into blurbs, bios, and cover art for my publisher, Ring of Culture. All the above is now finalised, with the novel now going into production, and I will be announcing a publication date very soon. Watch this space.

On a related note, I’ve been shooting and editing a short documentary that provides some insight into A Thorn in Winter. In addition to an interview with yours truly, it features me out and about in southwest England at some of the locations in the novel, and some no-budget dramatic recreations of a few scenes. You’ll see the results here soon enough. Again, watch this space.

Finally, I have now finished the first draft of the second novel I’ve written this year (the current draft clocks in at around 106,000 words). It’s another instalment in the supernatural mystery thriller series I’m working on that, for now at least, must remain shrouded in secrecy. I’m pleased to have got that far with it and look forward to polishing it with fresh eyes next year.

That’s it for now. However, more expect more news (quite a lot more) soon.
