They say never meet your heroes. So why is it that every time I meet people from the world of Twin Peaks, they turn out to be lovely, genuine people. It’s been the case every time I’ve attended the UK event. For me, it started with Sheryl Lee and Dana Ashbriook in 2014, continued with […]
Read more "Twin Peaks UK Festival 2017 in pictures"What do you mean, you don’t know what it is? It’s a guesthouse or hostel, or any similar stopping place for travellers or pilgrims. It’s a bit of a stretch, but X is going to be all about the best hotels and hostels that I’ve ever stayed in. Each one has a story to go […]
Read more "X is for Xenodochium"Hi there, Well, here we are: the final part of my short story. If you’ve come back for more, I can only assume that you enjoyed part 1 and 2. Either that or it’s like a car accident that you can’t turn away from. I just have to repeat a few words before we start. If […]
Read more "I’ll See You in the Trees – Part 3"Hi there, Here’s an update from the Twin Peaks UK festival. I had a chat with Cameron at Obnoxious and Anonymous about some of the stuff that’s going on.

Read more "I’ll See You in the Trees – Part 2"Hi there, I’ve never written fanfiction before. I’ve never had the motivation. After the great summer I’ve had thanks to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s fantastic creation, however, I just wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the world of Twin Peaks.

Read more "W is for Writing"I know, the picture above is not a vampire. It’s James Mason. He’s playing Mr Straker in Salem’s Lot. I just couldn’t resist having James Mason up front. So, here’s V, and this might end up reading a little bit more like one of my Taste of Cinema articles, although I’m allowed to give my […]
Read more "V is for Vampires (and Val)"When it comes to Star Trek music, sometimes it’s hard to see past the original theme by Alexander Courage, Jerry Goldsmith’s one and James Horner’s work.
