Awash With Websites

Image: Global Spec

I did intend on blogging over the weekend but as fate had it I never really got around to it. I awoke on Saturday morning up with a slightly dicky tummy. May have been the copious amounts of Guinness I drank on Friday afternoon, may have been the ‘Full House’ pizza from Domino’s [...]

The World Is Full Of Numpties

Image: FruitFly

I found myself dealing with more numpties than I would normally expect to during my day job, yesterday. I mean, one has to wonder where we get the staff from at times. On one hand it boosts my profile, but on the other it is so infuriating to have to lead people by the [...]

A Good Day’s Work

Check out my interview with Blazing Trailers, which was posted on their website yesterday. There were some good questions
Also, if you missed it, check out my gig review in Sunday’s News of the World, this week Theoretical Girl.
Good day’s work yesterday all round. The management have recognised my writing skils and have asked me [...]

Mitchell, Webb and Galbraith

Did anyone else choke on their cornflakes yesterday morning when BBC News announced that the Taliban have called for a human rights investigation into a recent air strike in Afghanistan? HUMAN RIGHTS—THE TALIBAN—there’s two phrases you wouldn’t normally connect on any level of human decency or respect.
Quite a day yesterday; I have hit [...]

Submissions From Both Sides

I didn’t really have much to say about Tuesday so I skipped a blog post. Hope you don’t mind. No point in writing about nothing, thought I, and instead put my efforts into making sure it didn’t happen again.
It rained for the best part of Tuesday, all through the night and all day [...]

Twitter No More

I ended up going with the wind yesterday and it paid off well. After an early start and thoughts of attending the annual Edinburgh Festival Cavalcade, the heavens opened and the decision was made not to bother. Scotland being Scotland, though, the weather turned at the last minute and it turned into a really [...]

What’s The Problem, Dude?

STELLA received a wonderful review from romance author, Ginger Simspon, over the weekend. This is the first official review of my new book and I’m delighted it was so good! Click here to read.
If you missed it, please pop over and have a read of my guest blog at Love, Romances & More, [...]

Mobile Working

I’m delighted to advise that my guest blog went up today over at Love, Romances and More. In it, I talk about the pleasures to be gained from writing to music, so pop over and have a read, and if so inclined, leave a comment.
The STELLA blog tour is still on over at [...]

Not Enough Shrill

Image: laffy4k

Long day yesterday.
The alarm on my new phone isn’t shrill enough to yank me out of my sleep, and so invariably I find myself flopping back and lying for longer as I wait for another, stronger spur to get out of bed. Yesterday morning it was the sound of my wife’s alarm clock, indicating [...]

Viva La Sushi

Image: Kristiaan

I wasn’t in the best of moods when I got up today, and things didn’t improve by mid-morning. The sore throat I’ve had these past few days has started to go, but in its wake has left a stuffy, annoying head cold that just seems to be sitting there like a cold pizza on [...]

Not So Secret Gig

Image: e-pint.com

Friday at last.
I spent most of yesterday in meetings, one of which I almost fell asleep in. It was a combination of the night before and the fact I could not work out why I had even been invited; I never said a word during the entire hour.
I forgot to mention The Specials kicked [...]

The Universe Speaks

Image: Sir Merv

Another terribly long couple of days. Finding the time to write is proving to be increasingly difficult. There’s no shortage of motivation inside me, but early morning and lunchtimes are the only really productive times of the day I am managing to bag just now. Evenings are a struggle because I am so [...]

Turn Up The Noise

Image: Elward Photography

The British Government is considering making it a legal requirement in the new tax year to introduce a law that forces anyone applying or re-applying for an entertainment license to have a noise control device fitted to the venue. For live music venues, this will be the final nail in the coffin because [...]

Can’t Think Of A Title

Image: Malevda

I got another confirmation from the publisher that received Stella this morning, this time from a senior acquisitions editor. It was only to say it was in the queue, but the novella seems to be moving up their hierarchy. Could be a coincidence?
I didn’t get up until 10am today, and boy did I need [...]
