    Feb 13 2026

    This week, I wrapped up Three of Swords (The Ravenglass Chronicles, Part 24)and moved straight onto writing a few chapters of Guild of Assassins Book 4.

    It’s been great shifting gears between projects while keeping the momentum going.

    On the reading front, I’ve jumped into the second Dungeon Crawler Carl book, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the ride so far. Safe to say, the series has me hooked.

    A productive week all round—on the page and off it.

  • 437 - February 8, 2026 - Three of Swords, Dungeon Crawler Carl, Couch to 5k
    Feb 6 2026

    This week I’ve been making strong progress on Three of Swords (The Ravenglass Chronicles, Part 24), reaching around 60% of the draft.

    It’s always a great feeling when a story starts accelerating towards the final stretch.

    I’ve also been reading Dungeon Crawler Carl, which I’m enjoying immensely—fast, funny, and brilliantly inventive.

    On a personal note, I’ve started the Couch to 5K running programme. As someone who is legally blind, this is a new challenge, but my wife has trained as a sighted guide, so we’re tackling it together. It’s early days, but I’m excited to see where the journey leads.
