So, my friend and fellow SG fan @fredhincanada set this nice challenge for people to share a bit more about themselves and maybe get some conversations going to compliment the drooling over goddesses that we all come here for.

So, today, I thought I'd attack the first 4 questions. Here goes! 💪🏼

1. Tell us about one of your favorite songs of all time.

Hey everyone, I've spent the past day or so catching up after not really having time to check in during much of the summer. Since switching to writing almost-full-time, I've been spending my summers working in the UK for about 12 weeks each year at a university. It's really great work, teaching international students, but it means I'm away from my wife, cats and home...

As some of my friends here know, I'm a writer of horror and dark fiction. I've had two novellas, some chapbooks and a short story collection come out before, but next week, on Tuesday, my first novel comes out.

It starts off in Turkey, where I used to live, and with an event that really happened to me. A character in the story - just...

1. I'm giving away some FREE eBooks of two of my horror books for Halloween! If anyone likes reading horror, you can get my short fiction collection Paths Best Left Untrodden and my short story Alone With Myself for free on Kindle until Halloween! 🎃👻🦇🎃🐈⬛
2. Enjoy!

But this isn't an unhappy post. It's the latest book - my sixth, thus far. It's almost finished.

This is a kind of fairy tale/folkloric #horror story, based on a mask-wearing ritual which still happens in Portugal today. They're thought to ward off evil spirits.

I wrote a short story about it a couple years ago, which was featured on a fiction podcast. It...

I'm into the final week of my summer course in the UK, which means that, on Saturday, I'm starting my journey back to Portugal. I brought my car this year, so I'll be driving to the Channel Tunnel, taking my car on the train under the sea, then driving all the way south through France, then across Spain and back down to Lisbon via the...

A weird, creepy story I wrote came out today on a great horror podcast.

If you're curious, you can check it out here (it's free): Listen here!💀

Hey everyone,

Next Wednesday, I'm heading back to Poland, where I used to live, for a week. I'm going to a teaching congress type thing for one of the days, but I'm also going to be using it as some vacation time.

I'll be staying in a really cool medieval city called Torun at the beginning, then a couple days in the southeast with a...

I've been away from SG for a while. I've still been following lots of my favourites on socials, etc, but for some reason, I've not found the time to come here. My membership lapsed and I just never got around to renewing it.

I'm happy to be back!

A lot has happened with me in the time I was away. I'm still teaching English in...

Hey folks,

Just wanted to say that you can all pick up my latest published short story as part of the 9 Tales Told in the Dark series, and it's available from next week. (19th April).

If you're interested, it's only just over a dollar on your kindle and, of course, I'd love to hear what you think!

9 Tales #22

So, just lately I've been mega crazy busy. I've been really trying to look after my health and so getting to the gym more (no, I'm not a Januwarrior, this started about 3 months ago!!)

I've also taken on a creative writing challenge, a story a week for a year! 52 stories is an enormous amount and it's taking up a lot of my time....

So I managed to get one of these bad boys last week! Well, it was my *cough* 37th birthday.

So many classics!

Anyone else picked one up?
