I just got confirmation that my book Jonathan will be published by Pegasus Publishing on the 25th of June! If you’re interested you can preorder the paperback here: https://pegasuspublishers.com/books/coming-soon/jonathan The blurb: “Her twinkling green eyes were looking out upon the field, at the squirrels dashing across the trees and the rabbits wiggling their noses, whilst …
A cuppa. Full…. Stop! He had done it, a solid four thousand words over a couple hours, not too shabby considering how many times he had stopped to ponder or edit the work. He took another sip of his coffee – it was obviously taking him a while; he had only bought one coffee but …
Jonathan’s mother was a nature enthusiast, like her husband. She would spend days birdwatching, walking alongside streams and rivers and enjoying her time off work under the trees and among the critters of the underbrush. It went a long way to explaining Jonathan’s eye for art, for he used to walk alongside his mother, drawing …
Soil I heard the first spadesful hit, it pounded and screamed a me, lingering just outside the protection of my justification; its thumping inevitability making me take every breath with overbearing gratitude. The second shovel shoved down another load of guilt, and I could feel the oxygen scamper to the corners of the tiny wooden …

My Peitition: Media lies in Syria Hi! I made a petition surrounding Syria and would be extremely grateful if some of you signed it: Here is the petition. I’m a 17 year old British male student, with a huge passion for politics. After deciding that the media lies for money, and has little reason to …
A riot over a soda, or a discussion over a beer. – Rant, less structured than my other political posts. Both big brands Heineken and Pepsi brought out political commercials in the last month to as usual advertise their products, but also to be ‘in with the news’ and show that they are aware of …
An odd feeling. Is loneliness a feeling, or a state of being? A creature, a monster that lurks? Or is it something more. A machine, powered by anger and sadness and a host of other emotions? I don’t know, I couldn’t tell you. Why are you asking me anyway? I’m just a stupid writer dealing …
