As promised, here is the #1linewed evening tweets (part two!) I didn’t mention this before, but the theme for this Wednesday was ‘circular, or round….’ Here we go Life on Mars Ray slammed his pint onto the bar. “Why are we waiting for Tyler?”, he mocked. “We might as well just tell him to not […]

When I shared ‘The Power of Twitter and making Wonderful Connections’ blog entry the other day, I had no idea how helpful it would be for those in the #amwriting community. After putting it up, I was inundated with users thanking me for imparting so many tips – and later that afternoon – quickly realised […]
Continue ReadingMy #1linewed on the 24th March :)
Heya again guys! On Twitter, #1linewed is a weekly theme where one word is given, and we have to show something from our #wip with that particular word. Now, due to the fact that I am nearing agent submission, I am not showing any of my originals, but…… Fanfiction is my thing! I have been […]

When I first joined Twitter in May 2015, I had no idea that I would have such a bond with the website. It was just a new place to market my writing, and something I joined because I had heard that it was good to have an online presence as an author. It was a […]

I have had this dream about being an author since 2007. What I want to know today is…. Should I call it a ‘dream’ still, or is it wrong of me – maybe even as far as ‘cocky’ – to believe that after so much love and hard work, ‘Will Worthington and The Black Rainbow’ […]

Hello, all. Many apologies, I haven’t written a blog entry for a while, but I required some time for my writing, rewriting and editing. That came first. It will always come first.
