Hey there, readers. I’ve had a pretty good morning of editing the fifth Pulse Hospital Radio Chronicle: “Richmond’s Roadshow Revelation”. I must be weird, because I quite enjoy the editing process; hacking away at my work until it’s indistinguishable from the original mess of a first draft.
So it shouldn’t be too long before RRR is out as an ebook and shortly after that, the paperback of all five stories will follow. Should only be a few weeks till all that happens. I’ve got a definite idea for the paperback cover, but there’s no point in doing it until I know the dimensions of the book (mostly how thick it’ll be), because the size of the front, back, and spine has to be exact. Starting to get the new book nerves now, but looking forward to seeing what people think of the new material. I’ll keep you posted.

I write novels and short stories and draw and write cartoons. The main cartoon I'm working on at the moment is Still Life. It's about a man who sits at home on his sofa all day and yet bizarre things still happen to him. At the moment him and his sofa are stuck on a desert island. Check out Still Life Series Five: Beyond the Sofa on this site.
My debut novel is out now. It's called 'A Fifth Visitor', and it's a very unofficial sequel to 'A Christmas Carol'. The story picks up five years after the events of Dickens' classic, and we see how Scrooge is getting on with his promise to always keep Christmas. A new spirit pays him a visit and convinces Scrooge that he's not doing enough to redeem himself, so they both travel to the future to save a young nurse called Grace, but there's something big that this new spirit is keeping to himself. I'm developing a website dedicated to my writing, so watch this space. One of my short stories is available on amazon kindle. If you want to check it out, it's called 'Richmond's Rarity'. It's about a late night hospital radio DJ. I've written it under my author name of John D Payne.
