Welcome to the seventeenth entry in my series of song-inspired poems! I will admit, this one has a bit of a dual inspiration – I’ve had vampires on the brain recently (playing through Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines again, haha), but it was also very much inspired by this week’s song, ‘Party All the Time’ by Eddie Murphy as well, so I hope you enjoy this one!

A Hypothetical Expert
This week, I’ve got the sixteenth entry in my song-inspired series of poems ready for you to read, and this one takes a bit of a light-hearted look at the supernatural–specifically, the idea of there being ghosts haunting buses. Well, they do make some weird sounds sometimes, but anyway, this week’s poem was inspired by ‘Werewolves of London’ by Warren Zevon, and I hope you enjoy it!
Retribution By Moonlight
This week I’ve got another song-inspired poem for you to continue the series, and this one was written with ‘She-Wolf’ by Megadeth in mind. I think it’s a nice mix of a bit of fantasy like last week and the more supernatural side of my writing (similar to Twisted Bloodlines), so I hope you enjoy this one!
The Cat
If you’re following me on Instagram, Threads or Facebook, then you might have seen an excerpt from the unconventionally formatted short story ‘The Cat’ on your feed this week – if not, don’t worry, because in this post you can read that short story in its entirety! It’s from my upcoming collection ‘Purgatory, Fangs & Rabbit Trails’, which focuses on short stories concerning afterlife, whether that’s purgatory, vampiric second life or godly interventions in varying forms. This story falls into the last category, and I hope you enjoy it!
Twisted Bloodlines – Second Edition Excerpt
Are you as excited as I am for the release of the second edition of Twisted Bloodlines on Friday? I certainly hope so! I’ve poured a lot of love and effort into this revamped (I’m using that pun so much, haha) edition of the book, with a completely rewritten story, improved characterisation, extended worldbuilding and a full 30k more words than the first edition! Today, you can get a sneaky peek at the new edition with this excerpt from Chapter One!
Get Ready For Twisted Bloodlines – Second Edition!
This will be a shorter blog post than usual, because it’s more of an announcement than anything else. If you haven’t been over on my Instagram or Facebook, you might not have seen my posts about the second edition of Twisted Bloodlines, so here’s the news: it’s coming!
Look At A Book: Twisted Bloodlines
This week, I’m going to take some time to highlight my only vampire-related book (at the moment) and one of my first novels. The first draft was written, as with many of my books, during NaNoWriMo, and it’s one of my books that I’ve got a second edition planned for, so make sure to watch out for that in the future! This is another book which is print-exclusive for now, but when I release the second edition I’ll make sure to make a free eBook edition available as well. However, right now, let’s get into Twisted Bloodlines!
Reborn Bloodlines Excerpt
Are you a fan of my first supernatural young adult novel, Twisted Bloodlines? Well, you might be excited to learn that I’m currently writing the sequel! I have three books (so, a trilogy) planned for the ‘Bloodlines series’ – Twisted Bloodlines, Reborn Bloodlines and Broken Bloodlines. Would you be interested in reading the first chapter of Reborn Bloodlines? Great! It’s waiting for you just below!
