I don’t really want to be a lord, but everybody in my family expects it of me. Especially my father. He has been a king ever since he turned twenty and took the throne from his father, and he expects that any day now I will try to steal the throne from him. It’s the …
I had a strange dream last night. In it, I was standing on the edge of a cliff, an endless ocean before me. Dark clouds hung overhead, lightning cracking like repeated blows that lit the sky in white. My chest swelled at the beauty, gut sunk at the sheer force of the storms. Then I …
I’ve been thinking about posting this for a while now, and I think I’ll finally do it. You see, in my spare time I’ve been writing a novel based on my real-life experience working as an air conditioning service technician. In this post, I’m going to include my query letter to literary agents, and I’d …
If we were going to stop Evil Space Wizard from taking over Victoria, we would need some supplies. That’s why Ms Frankie and I went on a secret mission to Cheltenham, to get some equipment for our battle against Space Wizard’s darker half. Meanwhile, the real Space Wizard and Archerak had some issues to move …

I’ve been playing a video game lately that is highly destructive. It’s called Roads of Rouge, an indie game about a city that has come under the rule of a tyrannical mayor. You play as various anti-heroes, completing missions throughout randomly generated sections of the city and destroying everything in your path. It’s a lot …
All right, here’s how this post is going to go. Today I’m going to prove to you that a single family in Russia is actually controlling the world. You’ll be sceptical at first, but by the end of this three hundred and fifty-word spiel, I’ll have you convinced. Let’s do this. Did you even know …
I think it might be time for a career change. Have you ever heard of those medieval re-enactment banquets? Basically hundreds of people sit around a big arena and get brought tankards full of ale and roast chickens to feast on, while a medieval show is put on before their very eyes. They can pretend …
Nobody believed me when I said that I would be exterminating Space Wizard on the first day of the competition, so naturally, it was the first thing I did upon arriving in Sweden, Victoria. There are few things that can bring joy when you’ve spent the last few thousand years dwelling in an undead state. …
