DECEMBER UPDATE

I am unsure where the past few months have gone. The older I get, the faster time seems to pass. Anyway, as it’s silly season, it's probably time for a quick update.

WHAT AM I WORKING ON?

I'm just putting the finishing touches on a festive-themed horror tale I hope will be part of an anthology. If not, it will be published as a standalone novelette next year. ARCs will, of course, be available as soon as the story is ready. This project is currently titled ISOLATION.

ISOLATION

When Edwyn visits the remote cottage where he and his late wife spent Christmas the previous year, he uncovers dark truths about the mysterious forest that dominates the snow-covered horizon. A malevolent thought invades his mind, suggesting that somehow his wife’s peculiar illness was linked to that place.

FEAR OF THE DEVIL

Fear of the Devil is an idea I sketched out many moons ago but never managed to write. Recently, I revisited it, and something finally clicked. This will be my first novel, and I plan to finish it in 2026. There is much work to do, but once Isolation is finished, Fear of the Devil will be my primary focus for 2026. Wish me luck! 

Fear of the Devil is a folk horror tale, set on a remote Island in Scotland, and that’s about all I can say for now. More to follow, very soon!

SOCIAL MEDIA BREAKS

I took a short break from social media for a few weeks recently to finish the first draft of Isolation, and it definitely paid off. As a result, this will become a regular part of my writing routine, with a more extended break expected in Feb - Mar as I work on Fear of the Devil. 

FESTIVE SEASON

I would like to wish you all the very best for the festive season, and of course, the New Year when it comes.

Until next time…

See You Later…
