"The reason I'm so confident is our savings - one-and-a-half tonnes of fuel per day. Get four wings on a vessel, that's six tonnes of fuel saved, that's 20 tonnes of CO2 saved - per day. The numbers are massive."

Alright… I’m back, sheep are done, the terrariums seem to be thriving, so no more ‘scuses. #Wargames #AgeOfSail #Miniatures

It's early days, so there's not a lot to see yet, but it will flesh out in the months to come as I add blog posts about my experiences publishing my first novel, spotlight some worldbuilding, and share some short fiction set in Enid and Rue's world.
Please check it out and let me know what you think!

I can finally talk openly about my new book, THE PRICE OF REDEMPTION, which will be published by Saga Press next year! Book two, THE SILVER HAND, will follow shortly thereafter.
The books take place in a world similar to ours in the 19th century, except magic works. I'll share more later!
Here's the announcement in Locus: https://locusmag.com/2023/04/people-publishing-roundup-april-2023/
I couldn't be more excited about this news!

New download on my kindle; Tom Pocock's biography about Nelson...another (desperate) attempt in trying to understand why people are so fascinated by his life and achievements and why he is regarded the greatest naval officer of all time.

Also: I am rereading O’Brian’s Master and Commander.

No matter how far I live from the ocean, #tallships will always fascinate me. That’s why I did my Masters in early modern maritime history! This was an experimental shot I took using a digital camera through the lenses of a 1952 Argus camera.
Now that the holiday break is over, I’m going to add more #history content into my feed along with my #photography work. Happy 2023!

"A tall fellow over six feet high, the nephew of his captain, and a lord to boot, were not very promising recommendations."
Thomas Cochrane's recollection of the first impression he made on Jack Larmour, first lieutenant of HMS HIND.
