Yesterday morning was all about one thing: the ticket launch for this year’s Edinburgh Book Festival. As you can see if you scroll down to yesterday’s post, I got all the tickets I was looking for. Will Self with Donald S Murray on the 30th was a late addition, and I also have Louise [...]

Deary me, yesterday was long and tiring. If you haven’t already heard my new book, SILLY POEMS FOR WEE PEOPLE VOL.2 was made available to the public at large, which for me involved much PR work and marketing-related tasks. I’m still trying to gather up some interviews and hot spots, but the bulk of [...]

I spent yesterday working on BACCARA BURNING. I hit another sticky patch with it early on but I think I was just missing the obvious. I put it down to being rusty having had so long away from it, but over the course of the day I made good progress with some important plot [...]

I wrote some poetry last night, my first writing of any form for almost two weeks. It wasn’t great stuff but at least it was writing, as in, the pen transferring my thoughts onto the page.

Pretty tired this morning. Not from being up extraordinarily late last night but from a very early start this morning. There’s a lot happening today ranging from training courses to writing and a fair bit of website work, so I wanted to get a head start on everything.
I’ve just wolfed down a roll with [...]

I hope you all enjoyed yesterday’s interview with Christina Katz, and probably the break from my insane ramblings. She’s an interesting writer and her book looks like a great investment if you’re a writer and have books out or coming out. I’m certainly ordering my copy!
I seem to have a lot of news for [...]

As I said before, I knew it was going to be a tough weekend; I just didn’t appreciate how tough it was going to be. As I write this I am still in the recovery zone, the place where stress and caffeine levels drop to normal, and where my body tries to return [...]

Back in the swing today; no dodgy tummy, no feel crappy, although still not much of an appetite but I can live with that for now. And an early start meant high levels of creativity, particularly since I’ve done so much thinking, reading and planning of late.
Stopping to work out the plot links and [...]

I don’t have that much to say from this weekend, other than I wasn’t feeling myself and I’m not sure why. I’m not depressed or anything clinical, just pissed off with certain things, which when it happens, affects my writing and that pisses me off even more. It’s a vicious cycle and one I [...]
My latest weekly article is now up at the Dog Blog. Please check it out.
Love Hurts, the sequel to Hunting Jack, is good to go. I’ve worked out enough of the plot to start writing it, and I quite like the idea that not all of it has been plotted. When I wrote Hunting Jack [...]
