Welcome!
I have set titles and a rough outline for the next two Alumière adventures, ready for NaNoWriMo.
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, and the goal is usually to write 50,000 words of a novel during November.
Never afraid to do things wrong on purpose, however, I am going to write two 25,000 word drafts instead.
(Anyone can take part. If you’ve ever thought about writing a book, perhaps now is the right time? Find out more here.)

While researching book titles I came across this lesser-known classic by Robert Louis Stevenson. Read short story “Markheim” FREE here.
(Hammer Film Productions called it The Mirror and Markheim when they turned it into a featurette.)
Watch!
Or should that be “watch out”? for the “profound hopelessness” of “ultraviolent” Unicorn Wars, which pits cuddly teddy bears against unicorns in a fight to the bitter end. Coming 2023, and, I have to say, I’m looking forward to this!
If there are no children in the room, then check out the trailer here!
