Always told off for making up stories. I still haven't learned.

Vast magic.
Haunted worlds. Fragile people.

UK based. Writing about magic, memory and the cost of power.
Here, keep track of what I'm writing, what I'm reading, and my thoughts along the way.

About Martyn

I'm Martyn, a UK-based writer working on my first full novel: an intimate craft fantasy with unseen consequences.

This site exists because writing a book just wasn't enough, I needed to give myself even more to do!

Here you'll find my progress, my inspiration, my experiments and the occasional random musing.

When I'm not drafting or worldbuilding, I'm probably walking, playing terrible piano, watching movies a little too enthusiastically, or drinking tea (which is just an excuse to eat too many biscuits).
