Tombstones & Rosebushes

Remember Spiritside from last week? Well, this is another poem from that same collection that I’ve been working on, within the same fantasy world – and even the same city! I hope that you find this interesting, both as a little slice of a new world and a poem within itself.

Spiritside

Something a little different for you this week! It’s a poem, but it’s specifically within the fantasy genre and is part of a little casual collection I’ve been building up to populate the worldbuilding of a project I’ve been working on. I thought it would be fun to include here on the blog, and I might post a few more in the coming weeks, so here’s the first one!

Inexplicable

Back to the poetry this week! This one is just a little light-hearted take on the random appearance of spiders in places that really don’t seem beneficial for them, considering their fly-based diet. It’s just a fun poem, so I hope you enjoy it!

Duke’s Descent

I know that we’ve been on a roll with the poetry posts over the last few weeks, but I’ve decided to give you something a bit different today – a short story! This one has an interesting background too, as it was actually the first time I tried out writing the character of Duke, who is the main character in The Horse Who Fell in Scorland. He’s in a similar setting but a pretty different situation in this short story, and I think it’s quite interesting to see how far the idea developed between this short story and the novella. So, I hope you enjoy Duke’s Descent!

The Feeding of Memories

Continuing the theme from the past few weeks, I’ve got another poem for you today! There’s a bit of a clear pattern with this one, which I tried to have some fun with, although ‘fun’ doesn’t feel quite right to describe a poem with this sort of tone. In any case, I hope you find this one to be an interesting read!

Look At A Book: The Horse Who Fell In Scorland

As it’s release day for The Horse Who Fell In Scorland, it seems only appropriate for me to return to my ‘Look At A Book’ posts for this new arrival! If you missed it last week, here’s the link to my post with the first chapter of the book, which you can read for free. You can also read the entire eBook for free on Smashwords or buy the paperback on Amazon.

The Horse Who Fell In Scorland – Chapter One

I have to say, it’s a bit of a strange feeling not releasing another Chained Soul chapter – that novel has dominated the blog since November 2023, but I’ve got another bit of fiction you might be interested in today. My fantasy novella The Horse Who Fell In Scorland is releasing next Wednesday, on the 10th of July, so I thought I’d treat you to a little sneak peek of the book with this first chapter!
