Tomorrow, the Fear Anthology will be released! My short story “Candlelight” is featured in volume 2 of the anthology, which will be available from Amazon, published by Crooked Cat. All the proceeds go to charity!
My good friend, the talented Angeline Trevena, also features in volume 2, with her short story “Charmpeak House”.
This my first publication in a paperback book (both volumes will be available in paperback and kindle, from Amazon), so I’m so excited! In truth, I never really thought this would ever happen to me, but it would seem that I’m definitely a writer now! :D

Writing, Music, The Avengers and the Stars…

What has been going on with me recently?

Still continuing to write- I’ve restarted doing some EGL work after a small break, and I’m actually multi-tasking right now…I’m actually taking notes for a music review as I write this, and listening to this amazing album…I’m not telling who it is, but oh gosh, I am super excited about it! :D

I’ve also been continuing with the fiction writing, having submitted two more short stories. The launch date for FEAR looms ever closer, and I’ve also seen the cover artwork that actually has my face on it!!!

If my last picture-post wasn’t a clue, I’m on a massive Avengers kick right now. I bought the DVD on Monday (I earned it after such a hard day at work!) and…its just epic. Everyone- go buy it now. I have such a thing for Loki, and its not decent XD I can’t help it, I love the evil ones!

You may have also noticed, if you also follow me on Twitter and Blogspot, that my current trend is the galaxy. I’m using images of galaxies, nebulas, the Milky Way and other beautiful images of the universe as my background images a lot at the moment. I just love them, I love the depth and vastness of space, the fact that is so mysterious, frightening, yet utterly beautiful. Regardless of whether you think a deity or spiritual being or force created the universe, or that its a scientific phenomenon, I think we can ALL agree that our universe is pretty amazing!

Enjoy the photo…it the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372), taken by the ESO VLT telescope. Breathtaking…

Another blog!

I figured having several social networking tools would make it easier to branch out, so now I’m getting the hang of Twitter, I figured I’d add another blog as well :)

These are tips that helped me out and I hope they help you out too!

1. Character development.
