Bit of my own writing, and articles about writing craft.
As promised, here are the collected tweets from September’s #WIPJoy Twitter event. Read on to find out a little about In Numina – the sequel to Murder In Absentia. I’m publishing this a little late – because as a tale of haunted houses it fits the Halloween season. (And don’t forget to check back next […]
