New Year always seems a little repetitive. With each New Year that comes around it’s the same old things, the same promises and for about a week it’s something that we all manage to do – sometimes even a little longer than that. With 2021 now in the swing of things, I’ve forgotten what most …

A little magic …
There are times that we hate our characters. And sometimes, we really hate them. They do what they want. You want them to do one thing, they tell you where to go and do what they want, and in the process change the entirety of the story that you had plotted out. Then, there’s that …
Endless Possibilities
Sometimes the weather is brilliant for inspiration. We have another storm hitting, and for the fourth weekend in a row we’re going to be battering down the hatches and staying in doors. Ordinarily, it would start to drive me up the walls wondering when the end will come and if we’ll ever escape. If we’ll …
Familiy
Family plays an important part in our world - no matter how many times we try and break families apart, more often than not they come back to one another. We have families that are born families and families that are found families. There are perfectly happy families and then there are the broken, dysfunctional …
A week in the making

For us, we could say that we needed longer to sit down and sort out everything. And to some degree that’s right, but on the other hand? This week has been incredible for us, where we have had a week to focus on what we want out …
Control Freaks
Summer feels like it’s finally on its way, as spring is well and truly here! Which is great for us, because we’ve finally got ourselves into gear. We have turned our world on its head, re-written our characters and our realms and our world and it finally feels as though we have everything where it …
Fairy Dust
There are times when Charlotte and I get into a rut. And at those times, we need something almost astronomical to come out of the woodwork and bite us. Going ‘HEY THERE! REMEMBER US?!” At which point we have a moment of “oh my god, look at what we can do”. The problem is, we …
Happy New Year!
Time goes fast. I've barely gotten used to jotting down 2017 instead of 2016 and now I have to adjust to 2018?! You're killing me here! It is almost time to say goodbye to 2017 and embrace 2018. Or fall face first into it after a little too much champagne! Whichever way you celebrate the end …
Books, books, glorious books!
I like to think that I’m an experienced reader. I grew up in a household where if you had the choice between watching television or a film or reading a book, the books won every time. And if it wasn’t books, it would be story telling competitions that would go on between my brother and …
Speed Dating
Over the last 24 hours I’ve come to the conclusion that writing is like speed dating. Nothing has really changed, and yet it has. You have characters, and you put them into a ‘trial’ piece of writing together, and within 20 seconds of doing that you have more of a backstory on said characters than …
