My next project is my fourth folk horror novel. I know who the characters are and pretty much most of what happens, in what order. But I can’t start writing yet, until… I don’t really know. Until all the bits get struck by lightning and fuse together into a novel, not a story.

Just finished this work of staggering genius, Withered Hill by David Barnett, and need to tell the world. I mean, if I were going to do an elevator pitch I would probably say Bridget Jones meets the Wicker Man, but that's terrible and this is actually brilliant... #booksky #folkhorrorsky

People have been asking me where to start with my books. I suggest the beginning, as that way the story makes more sense.

Not many people know that Chairman Mao published a sequel to his most famous volume, but it wasn't widely bought at all. It's known as his little-read book.
