Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
The problem with funny books – I mean, really funny, giggling-uncontrollably-whilst-everyone-in-your-crowded-train-car-speculates-about-whether-perhaps-someone-ought-to-call-the-paramedics sorts of books – is that you can get so wrapped up in the pleasure of reading that you forget to take the story seriously. That would be a terrible mistake in this case, because Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman is…

Getting back into running
I used to run a few times a week – not crazy running, just, you know, normal guy huffing and puffing along. The most I’ve ever run was about 20k at a stretch, and that only once every couple of years just to build up to it. A normal run for me is between 8…

In Vancouver for the summer
Back at home base for the summer months until my next European book tour in September. Usually Vancouver is remarkably lovely in June, but this time around it’s been a bit rainy. Some interesting facts about Vancouver: Vancouver is the third largest film production centre in North America after Los Angeles and New York. Okay,…

The many fun, weird things about being an author

The very talented Joe Jameson (who also voices the Spellslinger series), has recorded ALL FOUR books! The entire quartet will be released in the…
