The rest of the books I have planned to write this year are a bit longer than the books from the first half of the year, but here's a quick refresher (I think these are only on godless as I haven't hit publish on Stef and Tucker 6 on amazon yet):

• Theatrum Mortuum
  
• Drip
• A Terrible Case of Dick Rot
• Stef and Tucker 6: Anal Exorcism. 

Please note I did have a lot of short stories released this year. As what I'm writing now is longer, that will slow down the release schedule for 2025 and I'm still not sure if I want to send any of these on slush piles or find an agent. In addition to that, I've been working on learning Adobe Illustrator, which is as frustrating as it sounds and there has been some sketching but not much. 

And it is summer. So finally have a bit of time to start turning the dinning room into something functional. I have to purchase some plastic storage containers before I can dismantle the furniture (all of which is being replaced), paint the walls (still have paint left over from last year), rent a carpet shampooer (I'm looking forward to that part - less the renting and cleaning and more getting rid of the scent of cat pee), then purchase and assemble new furniture (this bit will be done in stages because although my situation is improving, not being allowed to work for ten years has taken a pretty intense toll). Once the dinning room is sorted out, I intend on sorting out the garden so me and my son can have a nice outside space with tables, chairs and a BBQ to enjoy next summer. 

I hope everyone has a nice summer if I don't get around to updating things over here for the duration of it (I am busy). And please check out this video review for Ketamine Addicted Pandas because it is the best thing ever. 

Since my last update, an election has been called. Personally, I think Cthulhu would be a better option than the current offerings by the political parties. Less evil too. When the mainstream parties are as dreadful as ours currently are (it doesn't have to be that way, both Labour and the Tories have proven they don't have complete pig fucking idiots among their ranks), the fringe parties gain and somehow, our fringe parties are even worse. 

Anyways, I'm obviously pretty damn busy. You can follow any of my social media accounts, but it is the facebook profile that gets the most updates and scheduled posts etc. The posts sometimes cross post to Threads or Instagram. 

​A few website updates:

I will have representation at Texas Author Con this year. I can't physically go and it will be a long time before I can go to international conventions, but you'll be able to pick up a copy of one of my books and get a book plate, or you can purchase book plates individually. 

And Stef and Tucker 6 is out on godless now. The amazon release is up and ready, I just haven't hit publish yet. So if you want a paperback, message or email and I will hit publish. Otherwise, I'll press the publish button in mid-August (my book sales in June and July have always been shitty, so when it can be avoided, I don't publish in these months. But I had a shitty weekend a few months ago and when your schedule is as tight as mine, one shitty weekend can completely upend things. 

I am going to get back to turning my quicksand story notes into something with a coherent narrative. These next possibly three books will be longer than the ones released so far this year. I say possibly three because I may find a publisher to take on the second one instead of me self-releasing. It is long, it is very extreme and it goes very deep and it just might be better to release through a publisher (if I can find the right one, the story itself is very British and it makes no apologies for that, just as I make no apologies for not being fucking American). 

I am so looking forward to getting back to We Gave the World Synthpop Dreams and all the writing and art I planned on doing last year. Plus in a few weeks, me and my son are going to start sorting out the dinning room (I'll start the garden in January when everything is dead). I can't wait for that to be finished. I've lived in shitty houses for most of my life, so having somewhere nice is really making an improvement (and it was one of those things I was looking forward to after university). 

I'll post again when I have a chance. Regular postings will pick up again once the dinning room is sorted and my writing is caught up.
