It's 10 years now since I started writing the Misfit Squadron series & 13 books later it's safe to say it may have run away from me a bit... I love writing it, though, & my readers are always asking for more, so I think I may just have to dedicate a few more years to it! #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

As an English author living in Spain it's impossible to sell signed copies of my books because sending them is prohibitively expensive. However, if anyone finds themselves in Barcelona, then they should feel free to DM me & I will happily meet up & hand them a signed copy in person! #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚

I often use Steampunk versions of actual aircraft in my series; it helps readers to imagine them. Can you guess which famous WW2 aircraft this squadron might be flying a version of? #booksky #aviation #steampunk #scifi

So many stories to tell, so little time in which to write them down. At least I get to play them out in my head while I'm cooking or in the gym. #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

You know you've written a series that people care about when a reader reaches out and asks you not to kill off not one but FOUR of the characters. (It's set in an alt WW2) Sales don't have to be the ONLY measure of success for an author. All the little wins add up. #📚💙 #Booksky #🪐📚 #steampunk

The Misfit Squadron bundle has a new cover to match the series and of course it had to have the badge of Misfit Squadron itself! Same great stories and same low price, though! Just 9.99 for 5 books. 1500 pages of military aviation adventure set in an alt WW2 mybook.to/Misfits1-5 #📚💙 #Booksky📚💙 #🪐📚

Got a few days off so I'm spending them with my family up the coast in Castelldefels, swimming with my son and rereading Pratchett for the umpteenth time. Couldn't get much better than this! (Well, I could be 20 years younger, but you know what I mean)

Stuck for a gift for someone who likes airplanes & reads? The MISFIT SQUADRON series would be great for them! The ppb of no.1 is only 9.99 from Amazon & if they like that there's 9 more to give them! www.amazon.com/dp/B0C99TLD9V www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C99TLD9V #📚💙 #Booksky📚💙 #🪐📚 #avgeek #aviation

We are the protectors of time, of history itself. The past isn’t nearly as set in stone as you might think; it can change and it can be changed, it’s just hard to do, and we have to be very careful how we do it. The COMPLETED 5-PART "Displacers" #urbanfantasy #timetravel series. #📚💙 #Booksky📚💙 #🪐📚

My last 6 or 7 books have been parts of a series or adapted from a screenplay so it's been a while since I wrote a book truly from scratch. The genre is also a bit of a departure from what I normally write. I'm finding it difficult, but it's exciting and I'm thoroughly enjoying it! Updates to come!
