I haven't really had the time to properly work on the webnovella this week, so this entry isn't part of the story proper. This interlude (of which there may be more in the future as and when required) probably won't be necessary reading to understand … Continue reading Childhood Thievery – Interlude
Childhood Thievery – Part 4
Might not be another update till next week. Got a family visit slowing down the creative juices, but we'll see. In this chapter, Leander goes for his briefing. ------------------------------------------------------ As I may have said before, I don't work for other people very often, so I'm … Continue reading Childhood Thievery – Part 4
Childhood Thievery – part 3
In this chapter, Leander Crane goes for a drink. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was in the bar by the time they found her body.

Childhood Thievery – Part 2
Wherein Leander Crane details his own manner of directory enquiries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The specific messenger I had chosen was the most popular one in town.

Childhood Thievery – Part 1
The beginning of my new webnovella. I threatened it, and now it's happening. I'm going to try and do it a little differently to OYGYDTOTL, longer chapters and slightly more regularly, but we'll see. Certainly longer chapters. We'll see how it goes, shall we? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- … Continue reading Childhood Thievery – Part 1
More Leander Crane related stuff.
This is more world building than story really. There's a danger my next webnovella will revolve around this now, if I like it enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As she lay on the floor, tendons neatly severed, Michelle cursed herself for choosing the black powder weapon. On any … Continue reading More Leander Crane related stuff.
Introducing Leander Crane

Home Improvement
Hmmm. Don't know if I like this, but it's probably worth posting anyway. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'It's not supposed to rain indoors you know.' That was her incredibly helpful input. Zelda, Paul's wife, made a habit of saying the most unhelpful things at any given moment. She … Continue reading Home Improvement
The Novel 2 that wasn’t.
I'm a bit behind on IKWYDLS right now, largely because I decided to do some work on Novel 2. I'm not too far in, about 20 pages or so to be precise, but I figured it was about time I did some work on it. … Continue reading The Novel 2 that wasn’t.
IKWYDLS – Part 3
Are we liking it so far? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When Horatio turned around, the man he saw behind him threw him off balance. In all honesty, Horatio should have recognised the voice, but even if he had, the image that stood before him now didn't match up … Continue reading IKWYDLS – Part 3
