Monstrum vel Prodigium gets reprinted


If you missed it first time round when I posted it a little over a year ago, my recounting of my ill-fated urban exploration of Monstrum vel Prodigium abandoned asylum is my latest article to get reposted over in The Hidden Circle Gazette.

This is a real treat for me as I feel like this is possibly my best piece of work. But, more than that, it was also one of the most fun and rewarding to write. So it is very exciting for it to be given the opportunity to reach a wider audience in a place where more interested readers can get to see it.

Head over to The Hidden Circle to check it out if you haven't already. I promise that that will be a much less perilous adventure than the one that I went on in order to be able to write it.

Sand and Shade


Welcome to the life of the a pale-skinned redhead... 

Behold all of this glorious sunshine. And then also behold how I am compelled to seek refuge in the extremely limited amount of shade on offer on the beach because I daren't relax in a more exposed spot for fear of turning bright salmon pink as it sears my skin.


That’s the reality of my skin type. Just ten minutes of direct sunlight can be the difference between a nice day and a painful, lobster-red disaster. So, while my friends are splashing in the waves, I’m performing a tactical shuffle, chasing the migrating shadow of a beach umbrella like it’s my job. 

Meaning that, while I may look like I’m playing an elaborate game of tag with the tide, I prefer to think of myself as a shade connoisseur. 

Burn me once, shame on the sun. Burn me twice? I'm bringing my own umbrella.

Blood Red Waters


Can someone go ahead and explain to me why this pool gives the impression that it is filled with blood rather than some common H2O?

What crazy optical illusion is making the red of the tiles affect how the camera perceives the flesh coloured tones of these very sexy legs?

This one has really got me perplexed!
