After a long wait (mainly caused by a Masters degree taking up all my thoughts), I am in the throes of releasing ‘A Light in the Darkness’, a new novel. It is the final chapter of the mining trilogy, involving Owain Thomas and his family. Taking up the story from 1899, Owain recants his fortunes, […]
It wasn’t a bad day today, weather wise. The predicted rain stayed in the clouds and the sun shone through. Stuck for something to do on a bank holiday, we elected to go for a walk – but where? There are always ‘usual suspects’ in our routines, but I fancied to try and locate a […]
‘It’s been busy and quiet’… my update as to pre-production notes for the film. I’ve managed to visit South Wales with a camera and spent a morning filming walls! Why? so it can be put on a green screen and it can be used as a backdrop to the stage when filming – so we […]
I have been out on the road doing some preliminary location shoots for my Masters dissertation, ‘Senghenydd’. Now, I am back and have analysed the results. I am hoping that most of this footage can be edited in some way or form into the final video. Being in South Wales on a visit, I had […]

The script was fairly straightforward to […]

However, I have been a bit busy with various projects – mostly regarding my university studies, as I approach the last leg of an MSc in Advanced Media Production. Here’s a video about three book projects and the MSc. I will be providing regular […]
It was a pleasure to catch up with Murph, as the band began the launch of the UK leg of their world tour. The interview took place in mid March, when the band had finished their N American leg and were about to start the brief, but mile-rich S American leg. After a week down […]
The novel ‘Foula and Beyond’ is now out and it is the final chapter in the ‘Estonia’ series, after ‘Finnish Boys’ and ‘Forest Brothers’. **Spoiler Alert** The story continues from the end of Forest Brothers. Huw, Maarja and Juhan, having escaped to the UK, have settled in a small fishing village in Shetland – the […]
Having written the Frongoch trilogy (‘Turn of the Wheel’, ‘A Time of Goodbyes’ and to follow – ‘A Light in the Darkness’), it does feel sad in some ways to think that the mine no longer stands as it did in its glorious years. Not that I wish for tons of spoil, toxic with base […]
