Welcome to Jon’s author diary for the week ending November 7, 2021. I’ve not had the best week in terms of mood. I can definitely feel seasonal affective disorder rearing its ugly head. This means I feel both restless and tired and my creative energy has been very low. I usually find this hits me around the end of October, so I’m not surprised that it’s here. I’ve not written anything new this wee...

Welcome to Jon’s author diary for the week ending October 17, 2021. I’ve had a busy week. Much of it has been spent getting everything ready for my launch of Black Death Survival. This is now up for pre-order and the paperback is live. The hardback is in review and I’ve been going through the auditions for the audio edition. I’ve taken a step back from writing A Murder of Crows and have decided I...
