• Watching Starship 3 launch to an amazingly successful mission, bings closer the future I imagine in my trilogy, Generation Moon https://amzn.to/43iB6RD

    I met with a class of 11 year olds recently and was surprised by the excitement they felt at the prospect of becoming inhabitants of the Moon, and for space travel generally. There are still adventurous young people around!

    I finished laying out and uploading my Olympia Stories that I showed in last weeks video  – you can see them here at amazon in the UK https://amzn.to/3IIAyL8 and here in the USA https://amzn.to/3Vgp0GC

    Now, let’s not talk about it – let’s get down to writing the third book in the trilogy!

    Feel free to comment and leave suggestions or questions.


  • Drawing a perfect egg shape is made really easy by using a ruler, set square and a compass.

    Draw along with me to create an easy, simple Easter Egg design.


  • When I ask school children what they think I do all day, they generally suggest that I write! That seems logical.

    In fact, writing is almost the last thing I do. Mostly It’s YouTube or promotion of some kind. A lot of drawing and a lot of thinking.

    But I am writing at the moment, and that presents a problem. What do I for an idea for a YouTube Video this week. I have to keep up the production. Apparently I’m an OG YouTuber – Original Gangster! – as I’ve been posting on YouTube almost every week for fifteen years!

    But every week I have a moment when I think, “what am I going to do on YouTube?”

    This week, I’m writing, so leave me alone! My mind is elsewhere – deep in a fantasy world, dreaming up plots and characters.

    I have discovered a new thing on YouTube – YouTube Podcasts. I don’t have to do anything but talk! That’s great, while I’m writing, I’m thinking. Not everything I think about is about the story. But it’s stuff I can talk about!
