This month has been the best book sales month Matt has ever had. If he were still here, I know he'd be over the moon. I'm crying tears of joy for him. Thank you all for the support and I hope you enjoy the stories.

Matt wasn't well enough to promote the release day of his new short story ebook All Quiet On The Terraces. It's a spooky tale but the kind that tugs on your heartstrings; especially apt since he passed away. You can get the kindle edition here:

#MGMasonRocked and I dedicated his last days to making sure he knew how loved and appreciated he was, including by you lovely Bluesties. If you'd like a soundtrack to remember him:
This is Matt's other half Cat. In case you haven't heard, Matt passed away on 26th Nov 2025. I'm gonna do my best to keep his spooky legacy going for him.
Thank you 🫂
Thinking of @chaoticauthor.online on World Pancreatic Cancer Day today (Nov 20.) We need better early detection for this awful disease
You can! And thank you Cara
We got married last night from my hospital bed. Not an ideal way to do it, but staff made it as magical as they could. Registry Office accepted rapid expedition and made it possible I could give non verbal responses to questions on those not requiring verbal answers. and we couldn't be more grateful to both. Will share photos in due course
Missed release day of All Quiet on the Terraces, lots of family down, sleeping a lot.
Here is why...
[NO REPOSTS AND DON'T BE PETULANT ABOUT STRANGER BOUNDARIES EITHER)
Haha,, love it
A bit better thanks. Still in hospital but they're hoping to do chemo round 2 today
Yeppppp
Back in hospital. Will update as and when
Ahead of The Residents of James Hotel going wide in a couple of weeks, I have updated the file on Amazon, and on D2D to include the short story "Henrietta's Story" on the end.
If you bought the version without, don't worry, you're not missing out. It's still on the blog and will remain there too
Thank you Stephanie. I'm mad this has happened to me so young (I'm 50). Still processing a lot, but accepting I have to make the best of whatever time I have left
Not even remotely religious. Still atheist, will be on my deathbed.
But damn...
I used to dislike "O Little Town of Bethlehem", and especially singing it as a kid in assembly.
Who made me end up loving it? Well, it was always going to be Annie Lennox' infinitely powerful voice. Please... even if you once hated it, give it a listen.

I'm loving how much readers are loving this. Felt it might have too narrow an appeal, but seemingly not the case!
