Announcement!

 Well damn I didn't think I see this page again, it's been a really long time well over 2 years but as I've said on other platforms, over that time a lot has happened of having to move home from England to Scotland, then having a little bit of a mental health break whilst up there and whilst doing that I found a reignited love for drawing which I've not done for a while so that has taken up a lot of my time. Then the kick of the nuts of being in Scotland for two years my husband lost his job and we couldn't live on my salary so we both had to leave Scotland and our currently living together with my parents at their house back in England. So I've been struggling mentally with my creative drive hitting an all time low because I have no space to just go and be creative, but I'm at a point where I'm trying to pick myself back up and to get my shit together.

Which is why I'm back here, I've put it off long enough but now it's time because my book The Ember Lights: Compendium is actually done it's fully written and I even hired someone to edit it and now all it needs to is to be published, so I'm looking to do it through Amazon because its a lot more affordable and also it's quicker and if I don't it now I feel like I never will. So I've made an announcement that I'll be rebuilding the platform from Twitter (I'm not calling anything else) since it's become something that I'm not happy with and restarting on BlueSky (@thecampfire-embers.bsky.social) and promoting the upcoming book and future story projects on that platform, it'll be tough but I think a cleanse and restarting again will be good kind of like a clean slate.

That's another reason for this post because with the book stories being available on this site it makes sense to delete all the story post that are in the book, those that aren't which is R'lyeh and Karnak will remain since that they are not in the Compendium. But the others will be going very soon and then only available in the book when it releases.

So stay tuned and lets see what happens next hopefully something good and I can get back into creating new things.


much love

Martyn

THE FRACTURED KING: PART ONE (A TITAN STORY)

PART ONE: The Devil’s Mirror   “DESTRUCTION COMETH; AND THEY SHALL SEEK PEACE, AND THERE SHALL BE NONE” Ezekiel 7:25-27   Halcyon Base Serbia MFD Team Members - Karl Walker: Team Leader             - Alice Neeman: Pilot and Engineer - Brian Carson: Combat Tactician   - Ishiro Takarada: Combat / Science - Katherine Petrov: Tech Expert      - Klaus Emmerich: Physicist   Rain fell heavily as a blanket of moody grey clouds covered the vast mountain ranges in the wilderness of Eastern Serbia. One of the MFD’s tilt rotor helicopters shuddered against the winds but Neeman and her co-pilot a young woman named Maria Valkova had it under control she looked back into the passenger bay “We’re almost there so we won’t have to deal with this weather for much longer” Walker shot her a thumbs up, she turned back at looked to Valkova who responded “Wherever it is that we are ...

R'lyeh: Story Dedication

With R'LYEH finally completed I wanted to write a personal post about how this came to be. This story of eldritch horror and madness is dedicated to my sister STEVIE , as kids we were explored many horror based films even if we hadn't reached the correct film rating just yet. I think I was about 9 or 10 when mum introduced me to the movies like Predator and Aliens , sex was no no but spines being ripped out of a man's back was totally fine, our dad introduced us to things more of the spooky nature like The Haunting , Whistle and I'll Come to You , The Woman in Black . Over decades my sister and I have wandered through the dark corridors of horror including sneaking me in to see Blade II when I was not 18 but my big sister managed to sneak me in with a denim jacket if I recall to make me look older, we've been expanding our library of our favourite movie that have creeped us out ranging from John Carpenter's The Fog all the way to James Wan's The Conjuring...

Announcement!

Hey Firelight Wanderers I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted but things have been in development, I’ve been writing a couple of stories still working on an ending for Sirens and I’m almost finished with Gigarrah II . But the other reason it’s been so long is that I’ve been toying with an idea and I have finally made a decision, I have decided that I’m going to write The Ember Lights as an actually book with the plan (if it’s good enough) to get it published. The current stories that I have written will be the bulk of this collection which will be titled Compendium  and I will be adding a few new ones that I’ve come up, it’s a three part book and each part will contain seven stories. The Compendium isn’t going to be a massive book far very far from it but I love the idea of small collection of stories that someone could pull out of their bag and just read on a train or in a cafe, even for a moment just for them to get lost in a story. This is something that I’m really ex...
