An Update

It's been twelve years and much has changed.  I have become a father, twice over, married and travelled further than in the decades prior.  I have self-published a second novel, Grass and Ember.  I have written more, which remain unpublished.  Since fatherhood grabbed me in 2018 the writing has stalled, but I hope to resume this - hence this update, a self-motivating post.  A chance to try and push myself.


Apart from parenting, what has taken up my life has been much reading, much film watching, and occasional wanderings in the Welsh mountains.  I almost died - was told my the medics they thought I wouldn't survive the night - and have brain fog sometimes these days as a result.  


With 2026 dawning, and my children getting to the age where we can leave them unsupervised more often, I am hopeful that the light of writing may return.  I hope in the coming months to post here some thoughts, more book reviews, films reviews, and thoughts on these mediums that I love so much.  So more to come, life willing...
