Chain Letter

The latest short  - Chain Letter - is now available on the YouTube channel. It's quite a slow one in many ways and is somewhat inspired by real events that took place in my past. The letter did arrive as described telling of the horror that awaited if it was not sent on and the great fortune to be gained if it was. My mother did indeed seal that letter up in a ratty old bible to calm my fears about it but beyond that fantasy takes over. Neither myself nor my parents were struck down by misfortune and and the story of the letters origin is entirely made up.
I hope you enjoy the story. As always if you would like to leave a comment or a like, or subscribe to the channel that would be much appreciated.

BBC Radio 4's Homer, Hagrid and the Incredible Hulk

I listen to a lot of BBC Radio 4. Usually I stay within the confines of the Science & Nature category but from time to time I stumble elsewhere and I recently came across this programme on the creation of universes and how fans engage with them. It’s pretty lightweight but makes a few interesting points about the importance of detail and consistency and has interviews with some established writers including Robbin Hobb and the lady who created the My Little Pony universe.

Depending on where you are in the world it might not be available due to BBC policy but I listened to in Sweden with no trouble so give it a try and see what you think. Leave a comment if it inspires any pearls of wisdom in you.
