After taking last week off, I’m back at the writing desk and making great progress on The Prince and the Fool (Ravenglass Legends, Book 4).

I’ve just hit the mid-point of the book—and the series itself!

I’ll be sharing unedited chapters on Patreon over the next few weeks for those following along early.

This week, I also chat about reading Homecoming by Robin Hobb—a beautifully written book as always—and watching Baby Reindeer on Netflix, a dark but excellent drama that’s definitely stayed with me.

On a less fun note, I’ve been nursing a bad back, which means I’ve had to miss out on seeing one of my favourite bands, James.

Hoping to be back on my feet properly soon!

In this follow-up to the 400th episode celebration, I’m back with part two of the Q&A, this time answering questions from Facebook.

Once again, I’m joined by my wife and editor, Claire, for more behind-the-scenes chat about writing, editing, and the creative life.

Thank you to everyone who submitted questions!

This week marks a major milestone—episode 400 of the Author Diary!

To celebrate, I’m doing something a little different. I answer questions from my Patreon supporters, covering everything from writing to reading.

I’m also joined by a very special guest—Claire, my wife and editor!

We chat about editing, storytelling, and what it’s like working together on my books.

You can check out her work at cherryedits.com.

Thanks for being part of this journey—here’s to the next 400!
