If you were expecting a continuation of the 80s top thirteens, apologies. I will pick them up again when the fourth book is released. In the meantime, we’ll be looking mostly at the 50s when Just in Time, the second Time Doctors book is partially set. After that, there’s a wee surprise for the thirdContinue reading “1950s Top Thirteen – 1950, 51, 52”

Ghosts of Warwick Castle – part 1
In writing the second Time Doctors book, I created a bunch of scenes which my new editor, Paul, said did not fit the Dungeons and Dragons feel I was aiming for. This one stands up on its own and gives a taste of melding history with role-play. Plus I had so much fun researching GuyContinue reading “Ghosts of Warwick Castle – part 1”
1982 Top Thirteen
I’d hazard a guess my 80s memories are not the same as the true afficionados of that era – I really wasn’t into the whole New Romantic scene at the time, however compared to the last couple of decades, their songs did have some merit, and quite a few are creeping in as the decadeContinue reading “1982 Top Thirteen”

Time and Time Again
How much fun have I had writing this new series? Totally inspired by the fabulous writings of Keith A Pearson and the wonderful crew at the Broadhall Social Club, this story is a meld of the geeky camaraderie of Big Bang Theory, the quirky, role-playing adventure of Stranger Things and the outrageous fantasy of theContinue reading “Time and Time Again”
My Favourite 1980s Movie – Labyrinth
Actually, there’s probably another half-dozen movies vying for favourite, but we’ll get to them in another post. This one has always had a special place in my heart, and now it has an even more special place as it’s found its way into one of my books, as the setting for a Dungeons and DragonsContinue reading “My Favourite 1980s Movie – Labyrinth“
