#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.

Here's a wee smidge of the cover for my next project - an expanded paperback version of my novella Bait (previously only given in eBook format to anyone who preordered Tales From Badger Crossing).

Coming to Amazon this Spring.

The cover (which I've drawn and painted myself) homages 70s/80s horror/adventure comics like 2000AD, Misty, Scream, Jinty et al, and artists such as Jose Ortiz, Jesus Redondo, Phil Gascoine, Eric Bradbury.

Mrs C is selling knitted wares at a craft fair in our apartment's residents lounge, and I've hijacked her stall to see if I can shift signed copies of TFBC.

I've got just two left now. If anyone wants one, DM me and I'll put it aside.

£9.50 with free P&P and souvenir postcard!

Apparently it is 5 years ago that this snap I took came second in a photography competition.

I was in Venice for my dad's 70th birthday, and my brother and I went out in the middle of the night to get some decent long exposures without all the tourists. This was the best one.

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.

#BadgersCrossing

One of the things that makes me laugh about Mastodon is this little "Replies" icon.

You've either got "no replies", "one reply" or "more than one reply".

Could be hundreds, could be two, but it's definitely more than one.

I'm in another book! Or will be...

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.
