It’s been a bit quiet on the photography and craft front lately. That’s partly because I’ve been up to something quite different!

My debut novel is out and available to buy on Kindle or Paprback via Amazon 😎

It’s part of a spin off series from The Undead by R R Haywood called The Undesd Presents. They invited people to submit stories set in The Undead world which anyone new to the ‘world’ could read without knowing anything about The Undead at all.

I was very humbled to have my submission chosen for publication, joining a growing set of novels by first time and already published authors alike.

If zombie/horror/comedy/revenge stories set in and around the Portsmouth area, this may be for you.

Here’s the link:

Well done Trump. You’ve probably just killed selling via Etsy to the USA. The tariff exemption for small, low value packages has been removed, hitting e-commerce right in the nuts.

It’s already hard to keep the orders coming in for most of us and this just adds to that.

I can’t afford to absorb the cost of the tariff and wouldn’t even if could, it’s not my tax to pay. And adding the cost of the tariff to the item or the postage cost will just put buyers off.

Well done.

Getting in early with. Valentines Day idea! A 3D printed articulated heart. Interlocking and hinged pieces make for a tactile and interesting item. It could be used as a fidget toy, an ornament or just a nice fun romantic gift.

Multi colour 3d printing can generate quite a bit of waste plastic. So I’ve been melting it down to make tea light holders. Take that, waste!! 👊

For sale very soon too.
