It’s the little things…
…that make me happy. Little things like an apocalypse huddle, black smoke knotting around a crucifix and four minutes forty-eight seconds of fabulous giant robot destruction. Check out Ataque de Panico, this stunning short film I just watched three times here. Director Fede Alvarez is clearly a name to watch. SNEE HEE HEE!
It’s Great Up North!
I’ve just managed to escape and spend two wonderful days running events at the Northern Children’s Book Festival – first in Stockton, and then in Thorntree.

The Dark Hunter lives!
It’s always nice to receive fan emails here in the caves. It gives us authors something to do rather than work down the mucus mines for the monsters, or play endless games of “Boggle” or “Where’s my Shrew?” So I was utterly thrilled when Matty Worthy sent me some artwork he’s created depicting Jake Hunter, [...]
What Time?
Get up at 6am? Is this some sort of joke? Since leaving the RAF, I’d forgotten there was such a time as 6am. That was my early morning call time this morning, as I was rudely roused by the monsters to go and speak at the Kettering Business Breakfast Club. The wake up call came [...]
