In four days, I will be standing up in front of a live audience at the biggest arts festival in the world! I can’t say I’m not nervous – but now, after months of preparation, I am ready and excitement is starting to replace those pesky nerves. To stand on a stage at the Edinburgh Fringe is something most performers aspire to achieve in their lifetime. When the pandemic ripped through the world, live entertainment …
And that’s a good thing! I enjoy watching documentaries, real life lore and learning new things in easy-to-understand bite-size chunks. Today I watched a video from TED-Ed. If you’ve not seen their YouTube channel before, you should check it out as it has some fantastic videos, most only 5 minutes in length. Their latest video asks: What is “normal” and what is “different”? It’s a question I – and I’m sure many others – have …
We writers, write. It’s what we do. Sometimes, we have to sit at our computers and notepads and push ourselves to write something, other times, we are guided by our inspiration. Inspiration can strike at any time, in any form, so it’s always handy to have something nearby to write on. For me, it’s either my phone’s notepad or my computer. I used to write in a physical notepad, but I find my brain works …
I was recently asked to participate in The Writing Community Chat Show’s Top 10 Writing Tips. I focused on Research. I’m a science fiction writer – in fact, let’s not limit myself, I’m a writer with a penchant for science fiction. (Penchant? Now you know I’m a writer! lol) For me, research is an important and integral part of my writing process. I write real-world sci-fi and try to make everything as realistic and understandable …
Refraction Second Edition comes with an updated cover, trailer and the addition of a prologue. I’ve realised that everything is judged in the blink of an eye, which is why I changed the cover. As much as I loved the original vision, you had to really look at it to get it – and that’s something very few people do. So, the window frame has gone, the back cover blurb has been updated and a …
Grab your copy from Amazon, available across the world! United Kingdom United States KENNETH C Without giving too much away, Refraction is a great story revolving around an interesting concept! The pacing of the narrative flows well and the characters have interesting and diverse back stories. As such, there is never a dull moment. What I truly enjoyed was the dialogue between the characters throughout the story – adding an additional dimension of realism …

1) How long have you been writing? My earliest memory of writing was when I was five. I’d been to see The Neverending Story at the cinema and wanted to create my own story with those characters. I’ve not stopped writing since. 2) Can you tell us a little about your book? It’s amazing and you should definitely read it! (Laughs) Even though I do believe that, it doesn’t matter what I say, as the …
I love writing. It’s what I do to relax, when I need to create, when my brain has so many ideas churning around that I have to jot something down. I enjoy creating characters, storylines and unexpected surprises, so the whole writing process is fun. Editing was time-consuming and frustrating, but I was still inside the world I created, so it never felt like a chore. The hardest part has been and still is, marketing. …
