Happy Sunday everyone. We’re just over halfway through January and I’ve nowt much to show for it, ha ha. I’ve had a lazy start to this year, making progress on my current novel WIP at snail’s pace, and barely a dent in my TBR pile.

Actually, there’s good reason for the lack of progress on personal reading and writing projects, since term time at work in secondary education always tends to dominate my time. I’ve been in the swing of editing and giving feedback to the young writers in the creative writing class I teach, as well as busy with work in my library day job.

At least I have built up a significant back catalogue of books to tide me over, while I make time for chipping away at my own writing projects. My latest promo video showcases all twelve of my books, one for each month of 2026. Here goes:

January = Toebirds & Woodlice

February = The Redundancy of Tautology

March = Diabolical Dreamscapes

April = The Blue Man

May = Pseudologia Fantastica

June = The Fairy Lights

July = Matthew’s Twin

August = Love you to Death

September = The Buddha’s Bone

October = The Wabi-sabi Doll

November = Gods of Avalon Road

December = A Model Archaeologist

Can’t go wrong with a mix of ghost horror, psychological fiction and experimental poetry, eh?
