Welcome Page

Hi  – Welcome to this new site. I’m pleased that you found it.

I have had this site for quite a while, but I have only now started using it out of necessity. I won’t bore you with the reasons, don’t worry.

I will add pages to the site over the coming days, weeks, and even months. You will already have noticed another page, Thoughts by the Otter, on my new blog site. I aim to write a piece each week about my writing activities and the progress of my debut novel. If Google lets me back into my old Blogger site, I would also like to bring some archive pieces.

I mentioned my debut novel, Beasting Dartmoor, and will open a page about that. It is currently in the second draft phase, and I have sent the first few chapters to my editor. It looks like the full edit will start in November 2024. It’s a daunting yet exciting time, and I’m looking forward to getting the story ready for publication and for you to read.

I also have another book in progress—The Mince Pie Murders. I will return to writing that in earnest in the next month or so. I aim to have that published in time for Christmas 2025, so I have to have the publication process well advanced for early 2025.

After getting this Welcome Page published, my next plan is to write about myself. I hope that it will enable you to recognise where my writing influences come from and have a bit of a laugh about my life experiences. I’m sure my broad and varied may surprise you.

I want to share my writing CV with you and all the other bits and pieces for the publication of ‘Beasting’ that might interest you.

I will also be looking for someone who can improve the site for me and act as a webmaster in the future if and when things get busy.

Once again thank you for finding this page. I will be publishing its presence across my social media platforms, I will link to them on here too. Hopefully the analytics will improves as the site fills up.

I hope enjoy reading it.

Stuart
