I’m at the stage again of letting my mind wander while I find a plot or a hook for a new novel – it’s always a time when I think about where I am at with the writing and where I want to be.
Musings on my writing

Influences: The Stone Tape
Terror is a rarely used word these days, but it's one Nigel Kneale knew plenty about. He knew where it lurks, and how to evoke it. Much like bringing an old story out of cold stone.
