3 episodes into Andor season 2, and it’s pretty clear it’s pulling no punches. Such a good show.

Several of my books are on on sale on Kobo and Apple for a limited time only.

Mickey 17 is a bonkers, weird, funny, and exceptionally entertaining film that’s just a tad too long. Bong Joon Ho is such a good director and Robert Pattinson continues to be a great character actor. Recommended.

Amazing characters, plenty of action, and always a lot of banter and humour - I recommend you snatch these up while on sale! 💙📚🪐 #FantasyFaction

As of now, 5 of my self published books are be available on platforms other than Amazon, including Apple and Kobo. So, if you've always wanted to pick up a copy of my work, but not support Amazon, now's your chance.

I wasn’t going to buy Doom: The Dark Ages, but then I remembered I absolutely love Doom.

Having not been to the cinema in ages, Thunderbolts yesterday made me realise how much I enjoy it. Fantastic Four, Ballerina, and Superman all in the next few months will make me a regular.

Thunderbolts was great, go watch it.

Taking Faith and Harley to watch Thunderbolts. Heard good things about his film.

All 28 of my books (only 1 of them not yet out). Not a bad little collection.

Promise of Vipers is only 99p on Amazon UK. You should go buy it.

Labour trying to court a bunch of people who have no intention of ever voting for them, who hate them and pretty much everything they stand for. Disappointing day for our government. Again.

Maybe don’t bring your little yappy dog into the coffee shop so it barks and snaps at everyone. Just a thought.

RIP Sabu. Watching his matches in ECW both amazed and made me terrified for his health. A genuine legend of wrestling.

If you’re an author and you plan on leaving a review for your own book using a alt account, maybe, just maybe, remember to switch to the alt account first.

If there’s one piece of advice I can give new/aspiring authors, it’s to have a thick skin. You will get bad reviews, you will get nonsensical reviews, and you just have to shrug and keep writing.

I’ll repeat this info for every author that still doesn’t understand. 1. Reviews are not for you. 2. Books with a mixture of review scores sell better than those with only 5 stars.

Baby Billy is one of the all-time greatest TV characters, and Walton Goggins is an incredible actor. He helps turn The Righteous Gemstones from a really good comedy show to an excellent one.

Finished Expedition 33. A truly wonderful game with an incredible story, brilliant characters, and excellent gameplay except the frustrating and mostly pointless platforming sections. Even so it’s a Game of the year contender, easily.

A lot of Americans who happen to be big fans of Trump seem to be very mad that the new Pope basically told people to be kind to each other.

I hope the people who designed the platforming sections of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 eventually find the peace they’re clearly lacking in their lives.

Turning Maelle in Clair Obscur into a boss obliterating god is so much fun. By a certain point, she can basically one shot the whole game, and it’s awesome.

The news that the cardinals currently in a conclave are watching the movie to get tips on what they’re meant to do, is the story I most enjoyed today.

Promise of Vipers is only 99p on Amazon UK. You should go buy it.

I have a very simple rule when it comes to deciding what I write; Would I enjoy reading it? If the answer is yes, I’ll almost certainly enjoy writing it too.

Gears of War coming to the PS5? Oh okay, I’ll play it again.

Conclave is brilliant. The cinematography is exquisite, and the acting is incredible, especially Ralph Fiennes who should have won best actor at the Oscars. Yes, I figured out who the next Pope was going the be the second he was introduced, but it’s a wonderful political thriller.

It would be nice if the lesson that Keir Starmer and Labour learned today, is that leaning toward the right won’t win them any supporters. Time to go back to what Labour should be. I feel that’s the opposite of what they’ll learn. To our detriment.

Just like to take a moment to thank the BBC and the rest of the UK media for constantly shoving that gobshite Farage and his monstrous political party down the throats of everyone in the country until enough people start voting for them in numbers. Good fucking job.

If you have a local council election, please vote. Just remember, the thickest people in your area have a vote, and even they can put an ‘X’ in a box.

Good job, Canada. Sanity prevails.
