Work progress Mid May 2020.

Messing around with the Penguin Classic cover generator earlier seemed to be an excuse for an update.  Since I've last posted, I have rewritten and completed my 30,000 word submission for the Professor Howe charity Parody range.  I submitted a short Horror story I wrote last September to a website.  Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful.  However, they did state that if I wanted to, I could submit another short story.  This inspired me to write another Horror short story.  I am currently 3,000 words into the 5,000 word submission.  My next project is to write a submission to the annual Big Finish short story competition and then I'll return to my Faerie Trilogy for young adults project.  I may also complete my proposal for another Professor Howe story.

The images I have included from lowest to highest: Fake cover for Resurgence, the first volume in my Fantasy trilogy for Young adult readers; The circle of life, the second short Horror story I am writing, The Lords of Misrule, the first short Horror story I wrote a while back and Ramble on Rose, a sci-fi script, I wrote back in February 2018.

Torchwood - some of my Doctor Who forum posts

-
Here is a cross section of some of the comments I have posted in the Doctor Who forum relating to the final three episodes of Torchwood season two. Adrift: Enjoyed that episode- seemed to highlight to me that being the leader of Torchwood is fraught with difficult decisions. I liked the ending: not everything in life can be resolved happily. I think the episode was highlighting that sometimes there are no easy answers and being a leader in an organisation such as Torchwood is littered with tough decisions to make. I don't think the answer to what the right course of action to take on this issue is an easy one: parents need to know what happens to their children when they disappear but sometimes the knowledge of what happened could be soul destroying. Seriously I think that is a tough call to make. Interestingly, I watched an old episode of X files the night before when a serial killer suggests that he killed Mulder's sister. When they tell another victim's father what happe...

My Guilty pleasure: ‘Timelash’

-
 The time I defended Timelash in the Ark in Space Facebook page: My Guilty pleasure: ‘Timelash’ Timelash was first broadcast on the 9th March 1985. It was broadcast in two 45-minute episodes. It was written by Glenn McCoy and directed by Pennant Roberts. Timelash, sandwiched between two popular Sixie outings, ‘The two Doctors’ and ‘The Revelation of the Daleks’ has always been considered the poorest of the three bedfellows. Conventional wisdom has it that this tightly budgeted story with its hastily rewritten extra scenes, is at best thought of as something to watch once, at worst something to be embarrassed about: a story bedevilled by cheap sets and hammy acting. These two great albatrosses of criticism seem to circle around this particular story determined to send it to a watery grave. Critics point to the poor special effects of the Timelash itself; the acting choices by Paul Darrow; the filler scenes in the TARDIS and some of the poor creature effects to claim that this is w...
