I sent my short story off to my copyeditor, hopefully it'll be ready to share with my newsletter at the end of August. Now to continue writing the first book.

Today:
- Work on the first draft of the first book in the new winter series
- Start editing the first 15 chapters of the collaboration

2 - Were any of your fictional settings inspired by real-world locations?

All of my post-apocalypse novels are set in and around London and Essex/Hertfordshire because I live around here and love to visualise how the area would look like after an apocalyptic collapse.

23 - If you switched places with the MC, would you survive the story?

Probably not.
The odds of me randomly being underground on that Tuesday at 11AM? Not great.

Which means I would have collapsed, haemorrhaging from eyes, nose, and died.

6 - What does your MC look like? Share art, pics (face claims), and/or mood boards.

2 - What is your favorite side character's relationship to the MC? Do they get along?

The gang meets Amira in a London Underground station on the day everyone above ground dies due to the Pulse.

They need to work together in order to survive. Not getting along isn’t an option.

Started the day with a walk and a 20 minute yoga class, and am now making a rhubarb tart for lunch.

I'm working on the third chapter on my short story, and it's slowly growing. At 6,573 words now.

Good morning,

The short story I'm working follows two characters whose destinies briefly intersect as the south of England gets blanketed in snow.
My goal today is to finish the third chapter.

Firstly, if you haven't read it, and you have any love of , or , please get yourself a copy of the Wool Omnibus by and read it. Reading is hard for me. Wool is one of the first book sets I've re-read more than once. And I have definitely read the entire Silo series since.

I needed a cathartic rage read (against the world, not against the book) so I picked up by . It's horrifying and funny (?!) but also has me googling some twisted stuff. 😂

Came across this of my "The Contemporary Post-Apocalyptic Novel" (Bloomsbury) in the SFRA Review and it's made my day!

Thanks to Nathaniel Doherty for engaging with my work so thoughtfully.

OK, my economist professor, his lawyer wife, daughter and son are holed up in a mountain cabin while the world disintegrates around them. What should happen next?

Another wow book, gleaned from the list of indigenous sci-fi/fantasy I posted a few days ago. The author here is an Australian Aboriginal woman.
