Okay folks, I’ve managed to make a few updates today, starting with the removal of some broken links on my Recommended Readings page. Sadly those stories / websites don’t appear to exist any more so I have removed the links. I’ll try and add a few more links shortly for you to some other stories I’ve really enjoyed.

Recently I was playing with an idea relating to my Thompsonville universe, and just how that came about. This resulted in my writing a piece called A Figment of My Imagination, which basically just outlined my processes surrounding the dreaming up of this little world of mine, and more importantly, something with which I can try to keep all the little details straight, in my own mind at least! There’s nothing worse than writing something and describing something, then realising that’s NOT how it was the last time I used that particular feature of the town or environs.

Anyhow, I’ve written this in two parts, the first being the processes side of things. The second is a fictional history of the fictional town.

A Figment of My Imagination – Part One (some background behind the process of creating this world)

A Figment of My Imagination – Part Two (a fictional history of my fictional world)

I hope you enjoy!
