New year, new books…

So, it’s evening on day 5 of 2017, and I’m already stuck into writing a new book. Well, I started writing it over Christmas but between one thing and another (okay, mainly Trev the horse going lame and then going lamer, but that’s another story), I haven’t finished it yet. Cursed will be my first […]

Today, I thought I’d stop by Riverley Hall and ask everyone’s favourite personal assistant a few questions. I’ve wanted to have a chat with him for a while, but it’s been hard to track down a man as busy as Bradley… EN: Have you got a few minutes? Bradley: How many is a few? There’s […]

Getting all philosophical today… At the beginning of December, I attended Wattpad’s London convention, held in the Crypt on the Green—a beautiful venue hidden away under an old church in Clerkenwell. It was my third trip to this annual event, and it got me thinking. At what point do I call myself a writer? Whenever […]

I recently spent a couple of weeks in Egypt, staying in the small town of Dahab, which is one of my favourite places in the world (as well as serving as the inspiration behind Fidda Hilal in my novel, Trouble in Paradise). A lot of that time was spent diving in the Gulf of Aqaba, […]
