As I said back in October, my short story, Tell Me You Love Me is going to be included in the forthcoming anthology, Doctor Who Short Trips: The Ghosts of Christmas.
The Big Finish page for the book now includes an image, as well as a free PDF of one story from the collection — […]

It may be a tough question to answer, but I love Neil Gaiman’s attempt:
The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it’s about and why you’re doing it and what […]

I’ve mentioned bits and pieces about getting a short story published, without going into further detail. Now, though, my publisher has announced full details, so I can officially go public.

As I mention on my About page, I’ve recently been lucky enough to have received a commission for my first professional piece of fiction — a short story for an anthology based around a certain TV show.
The story itself has been approved, is currently being typeset and the (small but historic) cheque has long since […]

In something of a departure for TV Today, we’re going to try and review each episode of these series, along with ITV1’s Grease is the Word, every Saturday. This […]

Earlier this week, I submitted my entry for Big Finish’s Doctor Who short story competition. The closing date is tomorrow, January 31, and I don’t know how long it’ll be until I hear who beat me (such confidence, I know).
I ditched the original short story I tried writing for the competition, as I realised that […]

Must do more blogging over here, I really must.
In the meantime, a review of last night’s The London Nail Bomber over on my work blog. It’s pretty much the angriest review I’ve ever done (save for previous drafts of the same review). I guess programmes which wilfully stop short of excellence push those sort of […]
