The school summer holidays always impacts my productivity, this year has been no different. The good news however is it allows me to connect with others at the various events and conventions happening around the country. I get to down tools and spend time with my family, read, and generally pretend the internet doesn’t exist.

The other reason it’s been rather quiet is a number of new projects have landed.

A new SFF based site focusing on the written word aspect of the genre, covering events, reviews, interviews and potentially anything summoned at the crossroads of SF and SFF.

I am now contributing to House on the Borderland  and most of my free time has been spent on this little side project. While the site offers reviews, it is also a platform to for authors and publishers to reach an audience.  I’ll be focusing on the people behind the words, conducting author interviews as well as those others that work in the Science Fiction and Fantasy industry.  Feel free to contact me if you’ve something you want to share.

As well as that I’m working closely with a local primary school in an after school club putting Minecraft through its paces, in lessons and obviously closer to my heart, in writing.

There is another project I am working on, but that one has to stay hush for a little while longer!
