Merry Christmas to everyone! Another year done. The one tarnish on the 2024 calendar for me was earlier in the year when my cat passed away. This was a very sad event, and not one I’m fully over. There was nothing anyone could do – his condition was inoperable, and he died peacefully. He livedContinue reading “December 2024”

All’s well. Job’s going well, house going well etc. Just a quick post to make a public announcement that The Blazing Sun will be free for a promotion that lasts 23rd – 27th November. It’s a part of the Amazon setup that you can do 5 days where the book is free as a promotion.Continue reading “November 2024”

I just read Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka last night. I thought it was great. I really felt bad for Gregor and the life he chose to live. I don’t really have any in-depth analysis to share, I’m afraid I’m just not that skilled at this sort of thing. I did notice when Gregor saw theContinue reading “October 2023”

Hello everyone, Yes I can confirm I am still around and still thinking about the book and this web page. Life has been very busy for me with my job. It actually hasn’t been the most pleasant year. In fact I would say it hasn’t been a good time. The money is great and IContinue reading “August 2023”

Happy New Year everyone! I think it’s safe to say the second book is on a hiatus. My new job that I started in early 2022 takes up so much time, and my family life is also busier than ever. Its times like this I’m glad the book has no fans! I can really justContinue reading “January 2023”

Hello all, As I am working through the night tonight, I decided to post an update. The sequel is a while away, to be honest. I have my day job (or my ‘day and night’ job) which takes up almost all my time. I work through the day and night 1-2 times a week. ThereContinue reading “September 2022”

I was thinking today about The Blazing Sun and the edits I’m planning to make into a new edition of the first book. I think the name of the “New Terra Empire” might need changing. I’ve never watched Star Trek before, and I’ve discovered there is a nation in the Star Trek universe with aContinue reading “May 2022”

Happy Valentines Day! I’m happy to report there was some headway made in the chapter I’m currently struggling on. Dermott was always to difficult to write as he literally spends all his time in a single workshop. Most of the time he’s alone with his thoughts. There’s just not a lot to interact with. IContinue reading “February 2022”

Wishing everyone out there a very happy new year. On a personal level, I did manage to secure the job I was looking for – and even better – I get to do the work from the Dublin office. It looks like I won’t have to move to the UK after all. It is justContinue reading “January 2022”

The writing was coming along smoothly until early October when I went on holidays. I took a break in mid-October to go travelling in Europe. Unfortunately I brought my laptop on the trip and it appears to have been damaged. Some bumpy road must have knocked a connection loose. I save all my chapters toContinue reading “November 2021”
