📚 Just finished "Bait: A Badgers Crossing Novella" by Paul Childs, and it's a delightful mix of childhood adventure and a touch of the supernatural. The story revolves around young Debbie Carter, wildlife, and forest protector who is called into action to save her badger friends from great peril. Perfect for an entertaining read! 👧🌳👻 #BookReview #BadgersCrossing #PaulChilds

#CoverReveal time!

Here's the finished cover for the new edition of Bait (and bonus story). All the art is by me (inked in pencil and fineline pens, coloured in Photoshop).

It'll be on Amazon in the Spring in Kindle and paperback formats.

I'd love to know what you think.

You can read a bit more about the inspiration behind the design and the style on my newsletter.

Letters From Badgers Crossing #5

The Best Days Of Your Life...

Letters From Badgers Crossing

I described my short horror story The Conductor (about a haunted 1970s safety film) to an AI art thing.

It gave me this absolute nightmare fuel.

Sleep well everyone.

RAILWAYS ARE NOT PLAYGROUNDS.

Don't play on the track or it's the end of the line for you.

No Grammarly, I DON'T want to replace "stepmum" with "stepmom", even if that does mean I'll get a rude email at the end of the week telling me about how limited my lexicon, spelling and grammar are.
