Although not the youngest of the authors here in the cave (curse you, Joe Craig!) I am by far the most inexperienced, with only a handful of Ben 10 books to my name so far. Those following our antics in here may know that my own series of horror books are due to be released [...]

Beware WH Myths! – Shopping has never been so scary!
No, this is not a post about where to buy a Stephen King film/story. The picture just sort of fitted the story that came from a series of writing workshops I did today in Libraries around Northampton. Children came to Wootton Fields, Kingsthorpe and Weston Favell Libraries today to take part in ‘Monster Workshops’ with [...]
I Was Up So Early They Had To Vet Me
I was up at about 6 this morning so I could go on the telly again. Not my usual routine, especially when there’s a Test Match on (when I usually have the alarm set for 10.46am, allowing just enough time to get breakfast before catching the last few minutes of the build-up to the start [...]
Vet Me, Vet Me!
I have a long story to tell you about what happened when I was finally fully digested and ejected by the monster that ate me, but I’m going to save that for now because… I escaped from the cave! Only temporarily. I’m back now. I snuck out (in a cab) and found myself at BBC [...]

The books tell the tale of Luke, Resus and Cleo in their efforts to find and retrieve the final two relics left by Scream Street’s founding fathers. If they succeed, Luke [...]
Screaming Good Reads.
I must admit that while I found Scream Street: Fang of the Vampire a good read – see my review , I have found the subsequent books even faster and funnier than the first. Book 2 – Blood of the Witch When the blood supply to Scream Street dries up, poor Mr Negative, Resus’ dad, [...]
Inkheart
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (website currently being rebuilt) is a book for book lovers on several levels. Firstly, you would have to be a confident and enthusiastic reader to tackle the 540+ page story. It also doesn’t set off at a rip-roaring pace like many modern books. Cornelia spends some time developing the characters and [...]
Zombie!
My new jailer, Omkrot the Ravenous (he ate the previous jailer) has allowed me a few moments of Internet access before I’m sent back to slopping out David’s cell… I’m using this opportunity to show you the cover for Zombie! - my forthcoming book from utterly brilliant publisher, Barrington Stoke. Zombie! tells the story of schoolboy Nathan [...]
