  • November 2025 Update – Things Keep Rollin’ On

    Categories:

    There’s not very much to report this month – things have been rolling on, but there have been few breakthrough moments. We’re still waiting to hear back about the writing panels we submitted for Scotiacon, while we have now submitted our proposals for CFz too. Hopefully, we can run some engaging events that will provide…

  • One Year A Freelancer

    Categories:

    It has been a year since I became a freelancer professionally and I have been in a reflective mood. I have been a writer and editor of online content in some capacity for 20 years now and have worked across a number of different sectors. I am currently trying to diversify my client base, but…

  • October 2025 Update – Forthcoming Releases and Con Planning

    Categories:

    It has been a very busy month, with a few projects in their final stages. The first is the fourth volume of the Furry Historical Fiction Society, The Wideness of the World. This will be released on 13 December, but it will be available at MFF the week before. I have a story included in…

  • September 2025 Update – Working My Way Through

    Categories:

    It’s been another slow month, largely because life has got in the way. I’ve also been back in the UK for the last 11 days seeing family and friends, so finding time for writing has been tough. I’m hoping this will pick up in October though, when the weather starts to turn cold and the…

  • August 2025 Update – A Focus On Reading and A Big Announcement

    Categories:

    It has been a rather slow month, as Summer so often is, largely because the weather has been so good. I am always compelled to do things outside when it’s sunny and so it has proven. I’ve also been a little overwhelmed with day-to-day living, so my energy has been lacking. At the start of…

  • On Rejections

    Categories:

    Since the turn of the year, I have submitted 12 stories to various anthologies and naturally this has resulted in some rejections. The last six weeks have been the worst period for this since I started writing again back in 2022. Following this – and a discussion with my writing group back in June –…

  • July 2025 Update – Two Anthology Stories Out Now

    Categories:

    Considering I usually take the Summer off, it has been a very busy month. This has largely been due to the poor weather here in Germany, meaning my office space has been much cooler than usual. I also bought an air conditioner. The month has been something of a mixed bag and it’s hard to…

  • On Shrinking Markets and Closing Minds

    Categories:

    The sad thing is that this has felt inevitable for some time. The shadow-banning and delisting of NSFW content overnight at the behest of payment processors is the latest in a trend of anti-freedom measures perpetrated by ethnonationalists working hand in glove with big business. In a stroke, with no warning, NSFW creators have had…

  • SoFurry – The End of an Era

    Categories:

    Today, Monday 7 July, is the day when the old version of SoFurry will be taken offline, with the switch over to the current beta version happening at a later date. You can find more information about the SoFurry site migration here. I’ll probably wait until the new version of SoFurry comes back online before…

  • June 2025 Update – Kickstarters, Anthologies and The Voice of Dog

    Categories:

    It has been a very quiet month, as Summer tends to be. The office gets rather hot and the sunshine often tempts me outside. I tend to dedicate these months to reading, which is something I have only partially achieved due to a range of medical issues that have dominated the last four weeks. You…
