I’ll See You in the Trees – Part 3

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 […]

Twin Peaks UK Festival – Day 1

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. Including lots of donuts. Better photos are coming. They’re on my decent camera. Also, Amy Shiels liked my story!

I’ll See You in the Trees – Part 2

Hi there, Welcome to Part 2. If you haven’t read Part 1 yet, go read it first. It’s here: https://richardaustinwriter.com/2017/10/06/ill-see-you-in-the-trees-part-1/ 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 […]

I’ll See You in the Trees – Part 1

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. I came up with an idea for a short story about something that might […]

W is for Writing

When I started this website, I think one of the first things I wrote was about my life with science fiction and what I used to read and write about when I was young. I used to love writing stories when I was young. They were usually based on something I’d read or seen on […]

V is for Vampires (and Val)

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 […]

Monday Music 24 – 2017

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. I was watching Star Trek Beyond the other night, however, and it struck me what a good job Michael Giacchino had done with creating an original sound for the […]

Ten More Great Time Travel Narratives

I wrote a post last year about time travel stories. Immediately I was finished, I thought of things that I had missed and I wanted to do another one. How could I have forgotten about some of these. I also saw new stuff that I thought was worthy of mentioning. So, here are ten more […]

A trip to Brooklands Museum

I love a good day out and I’m always interested to find new places to take the boy. I had very little in the way of expectations when I went to Brooklands the other day, besides the fact that they had a Concorde. I was very happy to discover that it was filled with interesting […]

U is for University

It seems like fate that I’m at U now of all times. It’s the time of year when freshers are just starting their journeys to Colleges all around the country, including some of my old Year 6 pupils. The other day I drove past Royal Holloway and all the signs were up for ‘student arrivals’. […]
