Tommy in grave peril (geddit?!)
Writing uses muscles, and I don’t just mean the ones in your fingers as you type. I’ve had a couple of days away from my desk, doing house and family stuff. Last night, I came back to work on SS5, and found that I couldn’t get into it. It wasn’t that I didn’t know what […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
A closer look at the first four titles in the Scream Street series, published this October from Walker Books.. Scream Street: Fang of the Vampire Meet Luke Watson: reluctant werewolf and Scream Street’s latest arrival… With his new friends, Resus Negative (wannabe vampire) and Cleo Farr (tomboy mummy), Scream Street might just be somewhere Luke […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s time I admitted to a particular vice; an addiction I have that would be impossible to break, even if I wanted to. In fact, I’d go so far as to say it’s an obsession of mine… I’m a Laurel and Hardy fan. Actually, ‘fan’ might be too weak a word for how I feel […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There’s no getting away from it: I’m tubby. And sitting down all day to write doesn’t help, either. So, I’m biting the bullet and joining the gym. My plan – if I can stick to it – is to exercise five mornings a week before I start work. It’ll probably kill me at first but, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I’m a big fan of the faux Victorian steampunk genre, and I aim to set a book (or books) in that era at some point in the future. Which is why I was so excited to discover this: Dave Veloz has pimped out his Mac Mini system in the steampunk style, and a beautiful piece […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
There’s some Scream Street news coming, but I can’t tell you about it *just* yet! Give me a couple of days… (Very excited!) Tommy
I’ve just got back from my induction and first session at the gym. I may never walk again.
Now, I haven’t been able to get hold of a copy myself yet, so I hope this has actually happened… I’m delighted to announce that Scream Street is featured on the front and inside front cover of The Bookseller magazine this week: It’s all very exciting! Tommy
