Rolling the bones with Really Dicey!

Cthulhu during the Napoleonic wars? They said it couldn’t be done… I’m here to prove them wrong! Well, I exaggerate a little… slightly… for effect… mainly. No-one actually said it couldn’t be done, but maybe it shouldn’t be done? Nonsense, the Napoleonic age is a prime setting for weird fiction adventures. There’s the grand backdrop […]

Meet the Beautiful but Deadly Felicity Brockenhurst

The Protagonist Speaks is an awesome idea from my good friend Assaph Mehr (of the cracking Felix the Fox mysteries) where heroes, heroines and subjects from a book series are interviewed in character. Many moons ago, Gaston Dubois submitted to this gentle form of inquisition and now it’s the turn of Felicity Brockenhurst, to take […]

Meet the Villains of Mon Dieu Cthulhu!

Mon Dieu Cthulhu! is a world packed to the brim with action and adventure but to pull that off  requires a cast list of both brave heroes and nefarious villains. You may have already seen some of its main protagonists, but now it’s time to switch to the dark side as we take a look […]

Terror at the Innsmouth Literary Festival!

A journey to Innsmouth is never lightly undertaken unless it’s to the marvellous Innsmouth Literary Festival, where I was honoured to be a special guest over the weekend. As well as meeting a ton of fantastic weird-fiction folk, I spoke on the gaming panel with some august luminaries like Mike Mason, Rob Poyton and Paul […]

A chat with the British Fantasy Society!

The interviews are coming thick and fast ahead of the full online launch of Shadow of the Serpent next week in the UK and US (or above!), but it also was a delight to take part in a member profile for the British Fantasy Society, which has just gone live today. The British Fantasy Society […]

Interview: Tentacles and Cosmic Horror  in the Napoleonic Age!

It’s always splendid to have a chance to have a chat about your work. But no matter how many of them I do, I always get a touch of the butterflies beforehand. Fortunately, the admirable Jeremy Gypton of Fluff n’ Crunch is a great interlocutor. He’s friendly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about writing and all things […]

Meet the Heroes of Mon Dieu Cthulhu!

Every story needs its heroes and the world of Mon Dieu Cthulhu! is no different bursting to the brim with dashing protagonists, nefarious villains and fascinating characters. In some ways its an echo of the real-life Napoleonic times when some men rose up through the ranks of the Grand Armee to earn themselves a marshal’s […]

What the hell is Mon Dieu Cthulhu!?

Mon Dieu Cthulhu!: it’s a rather strange title, but what does it actually mean? Well, it’s one I’ve coined to describe a world of swashbuckling adventures set during the Napoleonic Age as ordinary men and women take on the  supernatural forces fuelling war in Europe. See the entire series on my Amazon author page in […]
