It hardly needs to be said that this has not been quite the year many of us expected six months ago. I went into own personal lockdown about a week before the government’s announcement, and my wife and I have been isolating as well as we can ever since.
In hindsight, …
I thought I’d take a few hours to update the site as we go into the New Year. There’s been very little news worth reporting since the last entry: the life of the average writer really isn’t that remarkable for long stretches of time. The excitement of the Netflix episodes …
My stories “Beyond the Aquila Rift” and “Zima Blue” have been adapted as episodes in Netflix’s new anthology series, “Love, Death & Robots”. Although I’ve only (so far) seen one of the adaptations, I’m delighted with the look of both of them – they’re really beautiful, and I hope fans …

If I’ve not had much to say here in recent months, it’s not because I haven’t been busy. In truth, 2014 has been one of the most productive years of my writing life, but other than offering a series of endless progress reports on steadily increasing word counts, I don’t …
