Having written a book of a very different nature to the previous volumes in the Sorrow Song trilogy I decided to re-read both The War Wolf and For Rapture of Ravens so as to immerse myself back into the world of 1066 once again.

The War Wolf
POV – Literally a Point of View
In a novel the ‘point of view’ (POV) is considered one of the most crucial elements of telling a story.

To date they are the only person to … Continue reading POV – Literally a Point of View
Returning to the Sorrow Song Trilogy
Writing Eugenica was something of an interruption to completing the Sorrow Song Trilogy in that it was both unplanned and unexpected.

When the finish line is in sight!
Taking a break for a family holiday seemed like a good idea at the time but now that it is over and I am back at my desk I have to admit that I feel somewhat under pressure! Perhaps that is not so surprising when I look at my notes and realise that I started … Continue reading When the finish line is in sight!
As a prelude to publishing…
I have decided to make the first chapter of my book, The War Wolf, free to download in pdf format. The fact is that it is about time that I got something out there and while the book is being finalised for that very event why not, I thought, put out a taster? Well, what's … Continue reading As a prelude to publishing…
