The Fabulous BBC Model B
Looked like a typewriter with a massive 32K of RAM and 32K of ROM. It was top of the range for the home computer and I programmed many things with it, including an RPG, before I knew what an RPG was! Exciting times in 1982.

BOOK REVIEW: Black Static #78/#79-Neil Williamson
Originally posted on IsoltBlog: A fantastical spooky find from my Abominable Book Box. Black Static #78/#79 by Neil Williamson My rating: 5 of 5 stars I wish I had stumbled across this cool horror publication sooner. It’s more an anthology of short fiction than a magazine format. I enjoyed the wide range of spooky tales,…

It’s been a bit of a month…
To be fair, that is an understatement, so most things have been put on hold. However, as focusing on the positive side of life is my mantra, I am looking forward to putting the past where it belongs and concentrating on what happens next. A simple picture of a flower I hear you say. What’s…

Podcasts on the way
It would be fun I said, You’ll enjoy it (Others said). I am having a bash at podcasting. It’s not the first time I have considered it and I have dabbled in other recorded media, but it is new for me to concentrate on a singular(ish) theme. That being, writing Sci Fi. I am no…

Akresha II – Another chunk done
The fun never seems to end in these difficult days, and with the introduction of our new puppy, the focus of the family has changed. Earlier mornings coupled with early nights to compensate have put a premium on time but in a good way. I now make sure that I spend my writing time wisely…

We’ve had a bit of a do!!
September went well, as did our holiday in Devon. Despite the current issues, we spent quality time enjoying the weather and found a number of fabulous places to eat. We could not have asked for a better time and I was even tempted into a brisk swim in the Atlantic, which I found to be…

Akresha II – Update
This won’t be a long post as I have been busy writing Akresha II (working title), but I felt it was time I popped in a quick word. The process is going well and I am now up to speed, with around 10K written. I thought it was important to let you know how I…

And…So we begin.
After much thinking, moaning and general gnashing of teeth, I have decided to write Akresha II. I have other work that is complete, but it doesn’t feel right to publish it at the moment. I suppose I want some completion, although it will inevitably end as a trilogy, but a trilogy does require a middle…

The Fun Has Started
The above is a bit of a misnomer, as it isn’t actually fun, more of a necessity. However, to move on, I have started to design my website. The most important (in my opinion) part of the marketing strategy discussed in my previous blog. At this point, I feel it is important to stress that…
I am always write!
