I'm Back!

My weary travellers and firelight wanderers, it feels so good to be back on the keyboards of my laptop and working on my campfire stories again. Work has passed the midpoint in the conference season so things are finally starting to wind down which means I can focus more attention on my writing, I wasn't gone fully I did bits here and there mainly one in particular which is doing a few pages in the next chapter in my TITANS series titled ' Winter's Wolf' but I also finished my next tale for Volume Two which is ' Battlefield'  which if you wait a bit should arrive about.........now! Love and bear hugs firelight wanderers and see you around the campfire. Martyn Sudow-McKay

Taking a Step Back (only for a bit)

To my weary travellers and firelight wanderers I know I’m not the best at posting a lot of stuff in short spaces of time but I like to take my time and make sure that my stories are perfect. The reason for this post is that working for a catering department at a university the summer period is a very busy time of year, working a ton of overtime and working lates so the story writing will be taking a step back mainly because I won’t have a lot of time to focus on my stories. I’m not stopping completely I will do writing when I have free time, but don’t worry my Wanderers I will back on tip top form back in September. See you around the campfire Martyn

Special Preview Announcement

Evening my weary travellers. Whilst working on my next camp fire story AM I ALONE? I've decided to give you all a special treat a preview of a future story which has had the prologue already completed. So my fire light wanderers sit around the fire watch the embers dance and please enjoy the preview of REIGN with the Prologue titled Blood & Curses.

What's To Come Around The Campfire

Hey my Travellers and Fire Light Wanderers it's been a while but I'm currently working on the next campfire story titled Recon which is about a man on a lonely planet coping with his isolation, but I wanted to give you guys a glimpse of what's to come. As you know Volume Two has already begun with the Titan Story Sky of Thunder which expands the world of Gigarrah and the Mega-Fauna Division, the rest of Volume Two will have run ins with Death, a robot just trying to survive and on a lighter note there will be a wedding...with a twist. Passed Volume Two however is a mixture of wonderment, heartbreak and chaos with not only the coming of Volumes Three and Four but I'm working on a special project which I has been something that will be a twenty part short story event. The project is called TOMB KNIGHT (with capitals for emphasis) it's a horror story which is utterly bonkers and very, very dark but I've had so much fun creating it, it also has a link to a previ...

A New Year (An Update)

It’s 2019 the year we’re supposed to be in flying cars hunting down human looking robots whilst looking like Han Solo in a bleak dystopian future (hopefully some will get the Blade Runner references), so with a new year comes brand new things. Thank you to everyone who has found this blog and has read these stories I’ve looked at the statistics and there have been several logins from all around the world, it really means a lot to me this has been completely alien to me to make this stuff public but I’m loving it, right last year was the release of The Expedition, Gigarrah, The Edge, Red Deer and Gigarrah: Aftermath, these tales are part of what I’m calling VOLUME ONE: MONSTERS IN THE DARK. So by having a Volume One you know what that means?... Prepare for the tales of Volume Two which begins with the Sky of Thunder (A Titan Story) Look forward to seeing you all around the campfire.

Merry Christmas!

From here around the camp fire I would like to say Merry Christmas or have a brilliant Winter holiday to those of other faiths and religions. But to everyone have a wonderful time spent with friends, families and those who you love and cherish and have your own wonderful adventures to make your own stories to tell after Winter is over, because some of the best tales told are from those that we live ourselves. So from here at The Ember Lights have a Merry Christmas and a brilliant New Year much love and big bear hugs to you all. Martyn Sudlow-McKay
