As my 10 week summer of full time writing comes to a close, it’s time for me to get back to working in sport, and the excitement of another new season.

So, things on the writing front will of course slow down a little, but I will continue to work in the evenings and at weekends on edits and content.

Whilst I have never used A.I in the writing of my books, and find the notion that people do, abhorrent, I have used it in book covers and marketing posts, as many of you know.

However, I have made the decision to dump all the A.I elements in my book covers and marketing, due to the impact that A.I is having on many people, especially friends of mine in the creative industries.

So, I’ll be busy behind the scenes, making all the necessary changes over the next month, creating new covers and content. It’s a lot of work, but it’s the right decision for me to make this change.

This will of course affect the release of The Crow Stones, which I am hoping to now launch in the Autumn in late October.

I will also have some exciting news on the release of The Sleigh Maker before the end of 2025, but for now, there is work to be done.
