Today's Brew. Pure black coffee made in a Moka pot

Today's Brew. Pure black coffee made in a Moka pot for a pure strong shot of espresso, using @black_coffee_worship's Viking Blonde Blend with @amonamarth's metal in the background.

I feel like I need a skull or horn cup to drink this from...

Just in time for Spooky Season!
I was absolutely honoured to be part of the Dark Natter podcast (@darknatterpodcast) recently, talking to Jon Richter (@jonrichterwrites) about a perhaps lesser-known horror movie Clive Barker's 'Nightbreed,' which is a cult classic and a personal favourite of mine.

If you want to catch it, the YouTube link is in my Bio, and it's available on all the usual podcast streaming sites as well!

Also, check out their other podcasts as there's some ace stuff on there too!!

Hey! It’s been a while.

After a busy couple of months of writing, working, and general life stuff, I'm back with hopefully some more regular posting as we roll into October! I love all things horror, so I am looking forward to getting into the spooky season spirit.

First up, the important TBR! I'm looking at getting The Bonehunters by Steven Erikson and IT by Stephen King under my belt for spooky seasons, as well as the audiobooks of Empire Of The Vampire by Jay Kristoff and Ghost Stories by Jim Butcher. Depending on time, I'll add more, but those are some chunky books to be getting on with!

In addition, @kalmlettering and I will be watching a horror movie almost every night of the month, with a mix of classics, cult entries, and newer scares throughout.

As for writing, I'm mid-way through editing my first fantasy novel, which I'm really enjoying and hope to finish by the end of the month and am looking forward to the next stages very soon!

What are your October plans! Reading, watching, or otherwise? Let me know!

I am officially halfway through Malazan Book Of Th

I am officially halfway through Malazan Book Of The Fallen*

*okay, so the last five books are bigger than the first five, so 'technically' I'm like 45% or something, but we'll just skip past*

So, what are my spoiler-free thoughts at this halfway point?

For the most part, I'm enjoying it. Some books I've enjoyed more than others, though all of them have had something, usually the characters and magic, in them that has kept me engaged.

Also, each book usually starts off being a little tough to get into, before picking up by the second half, and finally leaving me looking forward to the next by that last page.

If I had to rank them, starting with my favourite, I would currently say Gardens of the Moon, Midnight Tides, Memories Of Ice, Deadhouse Gates, and House of Chains being my least favourite.

Overall, the series so far has been massive in length, the scale of world-building, characters, and story, and when reading it, you have to be okay with letting yourself not 'getting' everything straight away and trying to enjoy the journey. Which is sometimes easier said than done.

Have you read Malazan? If so, how many and what did you think? Or are you thinking of picking it up in the future?

A fantastic and in-depth review for Neon Helix came through the other day, and it's absolutely amazing. (thank you @annamocikat)

Hearing how readers interpret my books is always fascinating, as well as finding out who their favourite characters are!

Also, getting reviews is the lifeblood of authors, so it's such a thrill when they come through!!

What makes you pick a book? Reviews? Cover art? Synopsis? Recommendations?

Charity shop book haul!

I was very pleased to have grabbed these near-perfect condition Cosmere books at a local charity shop yesterday. (@oxfambooksbeeston)

While I won't be starting my full Cosmere reading til at least next year, it's good to get the collection started early.

Charity shops can be a gold mine for getting great condition books, and you get to support a good cause at the same time 🙌🏻

What's your best charity shop find?
