When I sat down to write my first story over seven years ago, I never imagined people would compare my books to JRR Tolkien. I am humbled every time it happens. #jrrtolkien #lotr #gameofthrones #freebooks #amwriting #epicfantasy #medievalfantasy #swordandsorcery #fantasybooks #HeirToTheCrown #fantasybookrecs #writingcommunity

What media companies get wrong about diversity, equity and inclusion

“Ultimately, journalism is about reflecting the stories of society. If that journalism is made by a small group of people who represent a small minority of the population, then journalism isn’t doing its job. The question is actually about basic...

#WritersCoffeeClub 9/12. If you write novels, would you consider a short story?

I write both.

I love writing both. Each have unique challenges, and it's fun to switch up between them.

Even better, having short stories to give away to readers of my series is a great marketing idea.

The trick with short stories is to focus on a small story, even if it has a big impact. And for me, that's great fun.

#WritersCoffeeClub 12/9. If you write novels, would you consider a short story?
I’ve done both. I’ve been unsuccessful selling my short stories & I wonder if this is because I feel more comfortable with the longer form? It’s odd because I was quite at home writing short articles (many of them 1200–1800 words) in my non-fiction career. Even won a few awards for them, most recently one under 1400 words.

12. If you write novels, would you consider a short story, and vice versa?

I often write so-called flash fiction, extremely short works of just a few hundred words. I occasionally include these as special bonuses in my newsletter, or on the blog.

If I met Exalted Leader, I would eat chocolate in front of his floppy reptilian face, to get back at him for banning it on Pluto. Just because he's allergic shouldn't mean everyone else has to suffer.
