Not posted an update for a while. Sorry about that, but I’ve not been slacking, honest. I’ve mostly been going over all the Pulse Hospital Radio Chronicles and seeing how I can improve them, ready for the launch of the new collection of five stories (including the new one “Richmond’s Roadshow Revelation”). Still looking for inspiration for the cover, but I’m sure something will hit me sooner or later. Also been working on a multi-part story called “Good Neighbour” which will be published exclusively to this website each week for a number of weeks (maybe six?), so don’t forget to tell all your friends. Depending on how successful it is, I might make it a regular venture. Anyway, best get back to it. Goodnight, dear readers.

At the moment, I’m working on a story with the working title “Good Neighbour” which I’ll be publishing in separate parts on this website. It’s about a guy called Tony who’s being a bit too curious about the new neighbours and then gets sucked into their potentially dangerous world.

I’m also working my way through the editing of the Pulse Hospital Radio Chronicles, ready to publish a new collection of five stories. As always, I’ll keep you posted.

Editing on the Pulse Hospital Radio Chronicles is going well. I’m up to Richmond’s Podcast Crisis now, and I’m surprised at how little I need to change. Enough time has passed since I wrote it that now I can enjoy it more from a reader’s point of view. Ideally with everything I write, I’d let a year go by before going back to my first drafts, so I can be truly objective, but there’re too many stories to tell and expose to the world for me to get away with that. Anyway, back to it.

I’ve been going over all the previous stories in the Pulse Hospital Radio Chronicles with my cold blooded, ruthless editor’s head on (ready for when I release them all as a collection) and I’m surprised at how much I’ve learnt since that first story. I had no idea that I’d be able to milk the idea over five short stories when I first started, and I pretty much made them up as I went along, so now I’m enjoying the opportunity to insert little subtle details into the earlier stories to make it look like I knew what I was doing all along (at least to newcomers to the series, like my friend Roy).

You’ll be glad to hear that I’ve just completed the first draft of the fifth and final (for now) short story in the Pulse Hospital Radio Chronicles. Now it’s time to leave it to brew for a bit, and then go back to it and despair at the monster I have created. Ha ha! Only joking (hopefully)

I’m quite happy with what I’ve written, and I like the way I’ve tied things up but also opened up a new thread which will continue in a full length novel. There’s a connection to the very first short story (Richmond’s Rarity) as well, via the completely made up song ‘Too Much of a Good Thing is a Bad Thing (Sweet Thing)’ by the (also completely made up) band The Raz Raz Band. I’ve got to work on the cover of the new story now and the cover of the collection of all five stories, so I’ll crack on. I’ll let you know when the new stuff is coming out. Ta ta for now.
