New #worldbuilding post on Substack...
This is it; the #CoverReveal for the book I never planned to write is coming...!
What will it be? What will it cover? What kinds of worlds will be built from it?
You'll find out very soon...
Maps, names, half-built towns. Laws, festivals, trade routes, old grudges between neighbouring villages. #Worldbuilding always creates far more than the reader will ever see.
But thatβs not wasted work. Itβs the foundation that makes everything else feel solid and real.
What an amazing weekend! A huge thank you to all of the organisers and staff that helped to make Dracula's Bazaar such an amazing event.
And thank you to everyone who visited our stall, you're all amazing. And our fellow traders who made the weekend so incredibly fun through the exhaustion!
Ready for the third and final day of Dracula's Bazaar at #DerbyQUAD.
We have everything an adventurer might need, whether you're battling dragons, wrestling monsters, or just trying to get your characters to do as theyβre told!
Ready for a second day at Dracula's Bazaar at #DerbyQUAD.
Come along for the perfect item for your next adventure, be it building a world or conquering one!
You'll find a few new items on the stall at #DraculasBazaar this weekend, including A5 prints of my hand-drawn #Whitby map.
The perfect item for anyone who loves Whitby at its darkest; the narrow streets, the abbey on the cliff, and the sense that something ancient still lingers there.
I've got all my #worldbuilding guides ready for a weekend trading at #DraculasBazaar at #DerbyQUAD.
This alternative #market is full of dark and #gothic delights, and runs alongside the #UKGhostStoryFestival.
So come along, and pick up a guide you can get your teeth into!
This Thursday evening, I'll be taking part in the online #Dice Demons Market.
Packed full of amazing independent creators, you'll be able to shop all things nerdy and geeky and, yes, increase your dice hoard.
Join us in the Dice Demons Market group on Facebook for kick-off at 7.30pm UK time.
All set up at #Dudley Bug Ball for a weekend of tabletop gaming fun!
Come along and chat with me about worlds and maps and we'll nerd out together!
Iβm all stocked up with #worldbuilding guides ready for a weekend at the #Dudley Bug Ball Tabletop #GamesConvention.
Thereβs something very special about putting books directly into peopleβs hands instead of sending them out into the internet void.
How many ways can I say βyep, still #writingβ?
But this book is flowing nicely, so you won't have to wait long until the cover reveal!
What do you think the topic for this guide might be?

Sometimes you donβt need a full workbook.
Sometimes you just need something to flip open while the kettleβs boiling. A page that nudges your thinking. A quick idea that turns into a place, a culture, a belief.
#Worldbuilding doesnβt always have to be epic. Sometimes it just has to get you started.
Thank you!
What still gets me about #worldbuilding is the connections.
How a river changes a town, a law changes a family, or a border changes a childhood. You change one thing, and it doesnβt stay contained. It reaches outward.
Thatβs the part I love. Seeing how the world pushes back.
Iβve got a busy couple of weeks ahead and Iβm really looking forward to it.
Thereβs something I love about taking all of this out into the real world; talking worlds, maps, tools, and ideas.
If youβre nearby for any of these, come and say hello, or join me online. Iβd love to see you there.
#Worldbuilding Seeds is back!
Starting 24th February, Iβm running my short email mini course again: 4 guided emails that take one small idea and grow it into something with depth, history, and meaning.

Making really good progress on my next #worldbuilding guide.
Itβs a topic I genuinely didnβt expect to be writing about, but now that Iβm in it, everythingβs clicking into place in a really exciting way.
I created these magnets as stall-only items; something small and cheerful for people to pick up at events.
If youβre not able to pick one up in person, you can grab the #artwork from my Ko-Fi shop. Same drawings, just in a format thatβs easier to get hold of.
