20,000 words of 'Penultimate Dragon' down on the page.
This is seriously the toughest book I've tried to write.
The next time I decide to write a mystery, someone smack me really hard in the face. please and thank you.

Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part l should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before.

Writers know nostalgia is a powerful drug — it can move readers to tears… or quietly manipulate them.
From Gone With the Wind to The Great Gatsby to Downton Abbey, this week’s Huddle unpacks why longing for the past feels so good — and so dangerous.

Once upon a time in Litopia, our writers decided to turn classic fairy tales upside down… and you’re invited to join them.
This Saturday’s Huddle is all about flipping POV: no pages required in advance—just a favourite tale, a fresh angle, and a few notes.

The Trouble with Prophecies
And
King Hunters.
Are going on sale next week, 17th - 23rd
A great time to pick up a copy of my humourous fantasy novels and forget the travesty of a world we live in by visiting an even worse one.

Five-year-olds = the world’s toughest critics. In "The Book They Actually Wanted" on Litopia, a kindy class teaches a writer that conflict beats wish‑fulfilment — and a kid's gentle "Good dog" saves the day. #WritingCommunity buff.ly/niC1tSe
