1/28/2019

0 Comments

 
I've been tagged by my online friend Aimee, https://twitter.com/Seetheuniverse_ from the https://seetheuniverse.co.uk/ blog to join this great  game.

For this tag, I am required to share my favourite seven blog posts from 2018 as well as sharing seven things that I loved about 2018 and seven things that I am looking forward to in 2019.
So let’s get started! - I'm including a mix of my own posts and guest writers who contributed to my blog during 2018. 


Number 1 -  A Blood Clot In My Lung.


This tells the story of my brush with death in March, when I - as the title suggests - was rushed into hospital with a blood clot in my lung.

An introductory post from February, to my mental health issues, which also links to a guest post I wrote for a major mental health blog.

Number 3 - Antiques With A Touch Of The Paranormal


A fascinating guest post about haunted antiques! Ye, you read that right...it's about a specialist centre for investigating haunted antiques, which is thought to be the only one of its kind in the UK.

Number 4 - The Truth About The Lies


For several years a handful of people I clashed with on Twitter when I was involved in an anti-online bullying campaign, have been spreading lies about me, twisting innocent situations, and gaslighting to make me out to be the bad guy.

This blog post saw me break my silence on what was a very hurtful situation which was affecting my mental health. In it, I offer to give full and frank answers to anyone who may be tempted to believe the outlandish allegations.

Number 5 - The Five Vs And the Three Ps


A guest post from Leicestershire's Police and Crime Commissioner, Lord Willy Bach.

Number 6 - Summer Sun And Mental Health


Another guest post, looking at the specific mental health issues that summertime can bring.

1 Comment

 
Magic Streets is the first book in a new series, Prague Bound, coming from my author friend Marco Marek.

Although it won't be published until February 2, Magic Streets is currently available to pre-order in a variety of formats.

So, what's it all about, and where can you get it?  Take a look below.
MAGIC STREETS
Picture
Photography has never been so dangerous for Jack.

Excited to visit Prague, he packs his camera and sets out to complete an assignment for a well-known magazine.

However, shooting award-winning photographs isn't the only challenge that Jack will face. Blissfully unaware of the magic within the city of Prague, he rents an apartment at a mysterious former hotel.

Determined to complete his assignment, he stumbled upon a magic street...and will become involved in a monster hunt with a tarot reader, a young witch, and others. The adventure that waits is filled with magic, turmoil, danger, and a newfound love. Will Jack be able to face his fears, or will the city be lost forever?
