One Epic Year: The Story So Far (And How to Join the Crew)
The Concept One Epic Year isn’t a standard anthology. It’s a living story that features on the holidays it represents. Each day having a different genre. The goal was to create a gritty, real-time reading experience that stays with you throughout the year. So far, the journey has been intense, and we’re only just reaching…
THE PHANTOM MASK
A new vigilante, known only as ‘The Phantom Mask,’ has appeared in London following the events of One Epic Year. This figure delivers brutal, targeted justice against known abusers and harassers, immediately splitting the city’s opinion. Victims, feeling abandoned by the established system, see The Phantom Mask as a much-needed hero. In contrast, the city’s elite, represented by powerful lobbyist Julian Vane, view the vigilante as a dangerous threat to society.
This project is a blend of the vigilante genre (reminiscent of The Batman) with the brutal procedural elements of Dexter and the classic whodunnit structure of Agatha Christie. The central mystery is paramount: even the reader will not know the true identity of The Phantom Mask.
The project is currently in the initial writing stages, approximately one-third complete. I will be seeking ARC readers soon.

A Different Kind of Mystery: The ‘Who Saved It’
Most noir stories start with a body and a question: Who did it? While The Phantom Mask has its share of shadows and secrets, I’m approaching this draft from a slightly different angle. The Premise: The city of London is a place that has learned to look away. Especially after The Battle of London at…

Why I Published My First Book For All The Wrong Reasons But It Gave Me Back My Passion For Writing
This is not one of those stories of lifelong dreams, a perfectly executed plans, nope, this is a story about accidents, a little bit of panic and basically learning everything the hard way. Let’s be honest: my first self-published “book” wasn’t actually a book. It was a rushed screenplay I whacked onto KDP because I…
MY JOURNEY
Modern authorship requires presence and visibility, extending beyond writing to include on-camera promotion. I’ve begun a fitness journey not just for health, but strategically, to build the necessary self-assurance and stamina for effective representation.
This regimen mirrors writing by demanding discipline (consistent effort, proper rest/nutrition/word counts) and repetition (refining movements/drafts).
Ultimately, this parallel effort instills an essential refusal to quit, pushing through writer’s block, rejection, and plateaus. Conquering these challenges forges the robust confidence and “on-camera authority” crucial for an author to own their narrative and captivate a digital audience.

Training for the Lens: Why the Gym is Part of the Script

How Storytelling Sells — Even When You’re Not an author
When most people think of storytelling, they picture novels, screenplays, or children’s bedtime tales.
But storytelling isn’t limited to fiction. It’s one of the most powerful tools in marketing — whether you’re selling a product, pitching an idea, or building a brand.
