Robert Gordon Van Buerle – Rest in Peace

I’ve been struggling with how to put this in words, how to share this news with others. But as time marches on I suppose the only way is to simply do it. This week has been a difficult one, dealing with the loss of my Grandfather who passed away early Friday morning and preparing for …

November Update

This year has been a lot, and I haven’t kept up my blog here much. However, I’ve not forgotten it nor has writing been far from my mind. The last few months I’ve been writing every single day, 1000 words a day, but it’s all been for my current work in progress (WIP) that I’ve …

Killing Time

Considering the current times we are living in you can probably guess what this blog post is about. Personally, working from home and spending most of my time in social isolation isn't a big change; I'm a freelance journalist and fiction writer. When I’m not writing most of my time is spent caring for my …

Endeavour for the Truth

A/N: This is a pretty long piece that I had a lot of fun writing, I originally wrote it for a submission call but it didn't make the cut. I've done a bit of editing on it now and I'd love to share it with you all, this was a fun piece to work on …

To Kill A Sire

A/N: So I've been a bit absent lately, but the good news is I have a few short stories that I'll be posting here on the blog over the next few weeks - starting with this one. The following story is a sequel of sorts to the Ginger Vampires story that is included in The …

Sherlock-ed

Little known fact, I love puzzles. Whilst I might not have the sharpest eye for small details or a mathematical mind for approaching problems, I absolutely love trying to solve puzzles. Of course, I'm not just talking about regular jigsaw puzzles. What I really love are puzzle boxes and I have a lovely collection of …

Looking Back

We're in 2020 now, a year that seemed so far away not so long ago. It's the end of a decade, and a lot has happened in this last decade. I've decided to kick this new year, and new decade, off with a bang and to be more productive - which means more writing. So …

Inner Workings

So you may have noticed my regular blog posts have dropped off; I’m no longer doing Saturday Word of the Day posts and I’ve dropped off from posting Wednesday Prompt Smash pieces. The truth is I’ve been in a bit of a funk, which is a terrible excuse for not writing. What have I been …

Picnicking at Pemberley

So this post is a bit overdue, but in my defence, I have been very busy helping take care of my grandfather and doing journalism work. None the less I still wanted to write up a blog on this and share the experience… So what am I talking about? On Saturday, September 7th I had …

Wednesday Prompt Smash: Corporate Demons

A/N: Sorry, I missed last week and have just generally been a bit forgetful. Hope you all enjoy this week's piece. Prompt: Corporate Demons Word Limit: 200 words “So Jackie, if you could just sign this form here in triplicate.” Mifusila slid the stack of papers across the desk. The paper was smooth and soft …
