Review: Born in fire – K.F.Breene
The cover description of this book is: Supernatural Bounty Hunter isn’t the sort of thing you see on LinkedIn. But with a rare type of magic like mine, I don’t have many options. So dangerous or not, the job is mine. And it was going fine, until an old as sin vampire stole my mark, [...]
McKellen: Playing the Part (A review)
McKellen: Playing the Part I don’t often do a review of movies, but isn’t a movie. It is a documentary about a great actor and a very inspiring individual.

Thoughts for the day…
Wow, it has been hot today! I would say that I have not really been in the writing mood, but that would be a bit of a lie because I have managed to do 909 words on my WIP. All of the prompts that I have read today have somehow left me dry. I am [...]
Download Festival 2015: a review
I was only there for the two days, and not the originally planned three. It is amazing that you can plan something so far in advance, and then just watch everything go wrong so your plans turn to shit! So, yes, originally I had booked this for the three days and expected to be there [...]
