I can’t tell you much about it at the moment, but I’ve been offered the chance to write another book.  It’s very much in line with my other projects, and it’s for a rather special publisher.  I’ll be able to reveal more when the contracts are signed!

I’m busy with the final stages of the fifth book in the Scream Street series - Skull of the Skeleton.  Bit of a tricky one this as it leads up to a BIG book six and, while I don’t want to give away what happens in the next episode, I don’t want this to be [...]

I’ve been working on the Scream Street Collector’s Cards today.  Each book will have four cards to cut out and keep inside (although I think the first may have two cards and a bookmark) - but, the Scream Street cards go that little bit further than other series I could mention…  You can play a [...]

I’ve started a thread over at the forum on Verla Kay’s site in which I invite fellow writers to post pics of their working space.  You can find it here: http://www.verlakay.com/boards/index.php?topic=27396.0

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 can call home. [...]

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 [...]

Ooh, I’m all excited! My new iMac arrived today, contributing to my fandom of all things Apple. It’s a big computer, right enough, and the bluetooth keyboard and mouse are a joy to use. The 24″ screen is a beast next to my 13″ Macbook:

I need silence in order to write.
I wish I didn’t. I wish, like other writers, that I could have the radio on in the background or, at the very least, some instrumental music to inspire me. But, I can’t. I can’t have any music playing at all. It makes it impossible [...]

Now, I don’t actually subscribe to the notion of writers’ block; if you can’t write, it’s because you don’t know enough about your story or characters. Something that can easily be fixed with a brainstorming session, allowing you to proceed.
I do, however, believe in the situation where a writer doesn’t know what should come [...]
