Genre Misconceptions
Books 'n' Shit
06/05/22 • 18 min
5.0
Today we talk - very briefly - about genre misconceptions!
When talking about writing there are so many things that people think they know or understand about the process when really, they couldnt be further from the truth. There are those who dont watch or read Game of Thrones, because they 'don't do that dragon stuff'. Or those who wont read Harry Potter because its secular etc. there are a ton of misconceptions about genres that people could try to be educated about.
What is the most profitable literary genre and why, if its so benign does it make over a billion dollars a year?
Make to like and share if you enjoyed the episode!

Writer Parent
Books 'n' Shit
03/27/22 • 20 min
It's Mother's Day here in the UK and so I decided to talk about balancing writing life and parenting as I've recently become a mother.
After checking with some of the writer parents on Instagram, people shared with me their advice for balancing this new part of my life and what works for them. Whether managing time or expectations, make sure to set realistic goals for yourself. There are so many more gems in this episode that may be of help, not only for parents but anyone having to deal with balancing writing with something else; a full time job for example.

Couples

In the spirit of Valentine's day/week, I decided to take a quick look at the couples that have graced our pages and our screens over the last few years.
Why do we resonate with Romeo and Juliet or sympathise with Antony and Cleopatra. What is it about couples through the ages that continue to stand the test of time!
Let me know who you think are some great couples in literature, history or film/tv and see if other's agree!
Stay tuned at the end of the episode for more updates on the release of Wolves of Duty, how you can win a bonus chapter hardback edition and how i've been getting on with my reading goals this year!

Villains
Books 'n' Shit
01/16/22 • 30 min
Forget the heroes of the story, the Chosen Ones and lost princesses; what about the baddies!
Villains are such a large part of what makes up a good story/film and I thought it time to give them some spotlight!
A hero is nothing without a good adversary and in this episode, we discuss what makes a good or bad villain (04:40) and how villains like Thanos and the He Who Will Not Be Named Online, leader of a certain German 1940s group, are similar. I talk about a particular favourite villain of mine (17:25) as well as who I think are some notable villains in literature and media (21:20).
I update you all on my upcoming release of Wolves of Duty (03:07) and ways you can get involved!
