This week has been an interesting. I had a one-on-one talk with my tutor over the piece of writing (two-thousand word sample of a larger MS) I have been working on for my university course and it didn’t quite go they way I expected. Never thought I would have to defend my story for... Continue Reading →
This weeks Rainbow Snippet comes from Episode Nine of Tokyo Nights, which is being released this week. Saita ripped open the sachets of sugar sitting next to his cup and tipped each one in. He absently stirred it and stared into space, his mind drifting back to that night almost a week ago now. The... Continue Reading →

Tokyo Nights: Episode Six has now been released, and I’ve begun writing the draft of the final episode. I think this final episode is the hardest one to write, needing to ensure a HFN ending, while setting it up for the next season without sounding like I’ve just stopped in the middle/beginning of a new...

This weeks Rainbow Snippet comes from Episode Six of Tokyo Nights which just needs a final proofread and formatting before I hit publish. My week has been busy finishing up a writing sample for my creative writing course and submitting it for peer review/critique. Now getting your work critiqued by others can be a terrifying...

With Tokyo Nights: Episode Five now published, there is only five more in the season to go. It’s definitely been an interesting process – that I will blog about at some point – but also fun and one that I hope benefits my longer novels as well. Also this week, I have joined with five...
