Video | Sin & Secrecy: Chapter 6 (1st Anniversary Reading)

June 23, 2021 No Comments

We weren’t quite prepared for the first anniversary of Sin & Secrecy. But we managed a belated commemoration, with this video reading…

I released my second novel, The Berylford Scandals: Sin & Secrecy one year ago on 15th June. Could’ve sworn it was later on in the month, but obviously not. So, with this in mind, I put together a video reading. Not Chapter One, for various reasons… namely that it’s quite long, and that other video readings of that chapter already exist.

Chapter Six, on the other hand, Lady Vyrrington’s Warning, has only had a pre-release preview. It’s an important part of the first part of the book, and features a confrontation between Lady Vyrrington and Rebecca Stirkwhistle.

Hope you enjoy!

Also, don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel, as it will have exclusive content not featured on my other social channels.

PODCAST: Berylford Backchat

July 10, 2020 No Comments

Surprise! Had this under wraps for a couple of weeks, and can now unveil this special, one-off podcast, which is something of a cross between an interrogation and a roast…

I don’t know what I was expecting when I offered my podcasting cohorts James Boxall and Aaron Hayes the chance to interview me about the new book. Well… the results are here now for you to listen to at your pleasure. It’s a 50-something minute programme in which I am roasted and interrogated about Sin & Secrecy, The Berylford Scandals as a series, plus my plans for future projects and my thoughts on writing in general.

SPOILER ALERT!

Just to make sure you’re aware, there are spoilers in this programme, pretty much from the get-go. But also exclusive previews (in my voice). And in case any younger people happen to be nearby when listening, this podcast contains controversial opinions, moderate language and sexual references.

So some of you may have caught the news in yesterd So some of you may have caught the news in yesterday's Insta story (and thank you for all the love that came with it 😊)... Yes, a funny little story I wrote about a man and his pet lobster with a penchant for cigars got longlisted for the @bournemouthwritingprize 📚🎉 while it didn't make the shortlist, it is getting published in not one but TWO anthologies, to be released this July!
.
As a writer, rejection is par for the course. This story, Sunday on the Boulevard, has been rejected several times. So it teaches a lesson in perseverance when you believe in something! 💪🏆
.
Needless to say I was over the moon with the news and look forward to seeing the story in print this summer 😁📖🖊️🦞

Taking a social media hiatus for a few weeks. For one thing, I'm told it does wonders for the mental health (something I kinda need at the moment, not gonna lie 😑). But also it gives me a chance to work on the book, plus get loads of content together for when I get back! 😁

As ever, thank you for your support. See you all soon! ❤️

When it comes to the first draft, I always advise: When it comes to the first draft, I always advise: "Write with your heart, not with your head". By which I mean, get the story on the page and worry about the rules you broke later on, in the editing process. Still, I think it never hurts to know a few of the rules that are so easily broken, you can do it without realising. My new blog post, available on my website (#linkinbio) deals with this exact topic 🖋️✍️📚📝📖
