My first short story is up!
Ferendune: A Tenpenny Weird Short Story eBook : Morvale, Michael, Howard, Lauren, Morvale, V.: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store
Currently only available on Kindle, but I'm hoping that I'll be able to get a few more short stories together for an anthology soon.
Ferendune is a dark historical horror tale set in 536 AD in the valley of the Gewisse, during a time of uncertainty when Saxon settlers and native Britons uneasily share the same land. When a deadly fog begins to seep from an ancient stone circle near a place known as Ferendune, a small group of warriors from both peoples is sent to investigate the strange deaths and disappearances surrounding it.
As they approach the ancient site, tensions between the Saxons and Britons threaten to tear the group apart, but the greater danger soon becomes clear. Something ancient stalks the mist. An unnatural presence tied to the stone circle and the forgotten people who raised it long before either culture arrived. The creature moves through the fog with predatory intelligence, hunting the group.
Accompanying the warriors is a mysterious seer named Inanna, a woman whose knowledge of the supernatural runs deeper than she is willing to explain. As the horror closes in, it becomes clear that the thing haunting the circle is not merely a monster, but a remnant of a far older world. One that has begun to stir again.

I got my first review, 5 stars. It has made me so happy. It helps me want to write more, this level of encouragement.
I think my short story, Ferendune, has achieved its goal for me: it has boosted my confidence and given me the drive to write a larger, full story. Hopefully, I'll be able to tell you more about it soon. I have the rough story outlined and I am currently writing the fifth chapter of it. It can be a struggle but I want to get there.
I've had more feedback, so far it has all been positive. Two 5 star ratings, plus a doctor I know liked it as well as my father. The latter may be biased but, knowing that my dad is quite genuine with his opinions, it makes it worthwhile to listen to.
Positive encouragement is something that I thrive on, I'll continue to push on as I want to get something larger published by the end of the year.
However, the hardest thing I am experiencing is that I am coming up with more ideas for short stories which distract me from the larger novel as I need to write them down with enough information so that I can come back to them. The upside to this is that those will expand the alternative timeline I am creating.
If this writing ever takes off, I'd love to write a novel set in any of my favourite franchises. But on my terms, like I don't want to be told "Do X so Y wins". Creativity at its best when it is not bound by external demands.
The first short story will be coming to Kindle soon
