Progress Report — August 2019

August 24, 2019 No Comments

Just a little update for you…

Little is right! August has been a busy old month and I have to confess, I haven’t done much writing. The main focus has been my new journalistic project – HQB Media. This is a rebrand of a project I was working on for a couple of years – Humans of Bournemouth. We’ve had our teething problems here and there (especially since it’s mainly video content now), but it’s slowly coming together, I’m happy to say. Click here to see me in action, if you want.

The Berylford Scandals: Sin & Secrecy

This is really the only writing project I have been working on outside of HQB. I had a shocking realisation a few days ago that I was less-than-halfway through revisions and the document was 120,000 words long. It is definitely going to eclipse its predecessor, The Berylford Scandals: Lust & Liberty. But I’m steadily getting through Sin & Secrecy, to a point where I think a Christmas release is still very plausible.

In the meantime, I have had some more great feedback from Lust & Liberty. Last week, I was visiting my friend Dean in London, who told me he had read and finished it on his holidays. He has now passed it onto his girlfriend, who is currently reading it. But he loved it, or so he said, to a point where he wouldn’t let me discuss Sin & Secrecy in any great detail, to avoid potential spoilers.

If you have any questions about my upcoming work or the already-published stuff, please leave a comment below or contact me on social media. I’m on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

While it's too drizzly to enjoy a Sunday on the Bo While it's too drizzly to enjoy a Sunday on the Boulevard down here in Bournemouth at the moment, I've instead reflected on my most recently published piece 'Sunday on the Boulevard with my Pet Lobster' and chucked it all in a new post on my website. Have a read if you want to find out more about what inspired this bizarre little tale (#linkincomments)๐Ÿฆž๐Ÿšฌ๐Ÿ–๏ธ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“šโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ

I was going to do a huge carousel post with some of my favourite photos taken across my 20s. But having done two degrees, practised and retired from journalism, independently published two novels, hosted two podcasts, and met countless amazing people in that time... to sum that all up in 10 photos would be impossible ๐Ÿ˜† so... more of the same in the next 10 years? Why not? ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿง In the meantime me and my MVPs right here
