Kendall Reviews Back in the day, I once read ALL THE BEAUTIFUL SINNERS by Stephen Graham Jones without the jacket but started to get sweaty palms so had to slip on a pair of latex gloves to finish it. One and only time. And a testament to Stephen’s writing.

Crazy cool TOC announcement by Infested Publishing headed by Laura Cathcart and Adam Hulse for their anthology TOO BAD, YOU DIE. It’ll be the death of me. infestedpub.wixsite.com/infested/post/…

We've put together a TOC of exciting voices. We didn't want to do invites and we're happy with that decision. As promised, Laura Cathcart presents a limited edition bookmark for our debut release. All authors involved will get one, and we'll do some giveaways in the near future 🐁

Sometimes, just when you’re reaching that point in your current WIP, and you think “Have I got what it takes to finish this?” you read these words offered by author Ross Jeffery and you go, “I must have.”

“One of the best thrillers I've read since Red Dragon.” “Utterly brilliant!” “Terrifying and gritty with such a compelling writing style, it just grips you!” “I was biting my nails the entire time.” Genuine reviews from Amazon. The Tom Nolan trilogy is available now.

Saw #Oasis back in 95 at Manchester NYNEX. I was in the Gods and got vertigo during the Chemical Brothers support act slot. Asked staff if I could move. They put me in an executive box. Watched Oasis in style. And danced with a lady in a leather cat suit. Best night ever.

Kendall Reviews Looked back (not in anger) at my ticket from 1995. £12.50. #oasis

Somehow I managed to reach the final chapter of my new book.

Don’t take our word for it. Take horror hero and slasher savant Stephen Graham Jones’s word.

Never knew they put kids in spacesuits in Alien to make the set look bigger.

First draft of the new horror novel finished! Need to let it sit for a while before rewrites. Quick tally: 5 novels published. 4 unpublished novels. 3 short story collections published. 1 collaboration collection published.

A claustrophobic, sinister deep dive into the fractured heart of one woman’s attempt to resurrect her past. This is Ross Jeffery at his most intimate, channelling Stephen King’s Misery to the soundtrack of Fleetwood Mac…

Firstly, Craig Wallwork is a fabulous, masterful writer (go read him) - if I could write short stories like this guy I’d die happy! And so, to have him read Metamorphosis Truborn Press and love it…well, it makes me one happy writer indeed! Thank you Craig… exceptional review!🦉

Started the rewrites. I always enjoy the editing stage. It’s like the first draft of any novel is a cheese sandwich, which is good, but in the second draft, you swap out the cheddar for Monterey Jack & Gruyere with avocado, caramelized onions, & bacon. Anyone else hungry?

Emil Ottoman Maybe all analogies should be food based. Least all literary ones. Like, how being an author is like those edible candy underwear. It looks fun but takes a lot of effort to get through and leaves you feeling a little sick.

Posting this up again because I don’t have a blue tick thingy that allows me to edit. But yeah, a taste of things to come.

I’m unable to maintain any loyalty to this platform while Musk is at the helm. That he’s endorsing Trump, and allowing right wing rhetoric, bigots, and racists free rule, only bolsters my reasons to migrate. So until Musk sells up, I’ll be found on Instagram/Threads.

The indie publishing world is imploding.

Outside chance. But it’d be remiss of me not to wish happy birthday to Stephen King and recommend a book to the master of horror that may well provide a few nightmares.
