    The Blueblood Papers: Old Blood

    With Christmas and New Year over with, we have but a long and bleak January to endure before the dawn of Spring. To make the wait a little bearable, I hope you'll enjoy the first chapter of the new Blueblood story available here:

    While on leave, Blueblood meets his hero, A. K. Yearling, and is dragged into a Daring Do story he would much rather have read.

    Bound by Blood Retrospective

    With another Blueblood Papers story completed comes another retrospective. I'd like to start by stating that I think Royal Blood, the one that came before it, is the best story that I've written in this series, and after finishing Bound By Blood and looking back on this latest story, I still think that. That's not to say that I'm unhappy with how Bound By Blood came out, of course, but

    A Map and Some Lore

    Maps are great. As a kid I used to spend hours pouring over my parents' atlas, even though it was a little out of date and still had the Soviet Union on it. It was, however, the 1990s, and the collapse of the USSR had only been a few years ago, so I suppose they could be forgiven for that.

    Ten Years of The Blueblood Papers and AMA

    Well, not quite. As it happened, I've missed the exact date by a few days, as Blueblood: Hero of Equestria was published on the 8th of October 2012, but we'll quietly ignore that from now on.

    Blueblood's captors said, "For you, the war is over." How wrong they were.

    And yes, I know I said I'd call it 'Captive Blood' earlier, but 'Bound By Blood' has extra alliterative appeal. I do hope you enjoy it. The usual monthly updates will proceed as normal from here on (hopefully).

Updates and stuff · 6:06pm Mar 19th, 2020

Hello all!

As 2020 continues to drag on, I fear I must once again post one of my usual 'writing will be a bit slow' blogs. While I am making an effort to continue writing each day, output hasn't been quite as flowing as it had been, so I fear I may not be able to make my usual target of one chapter a month. I expect that the source of this is obvious. While I'm not currently sick, nerves and anxiety are taking its toll on me, especially now that my job has not allowed me the luxury of working from home. I work in a school, you see, doing office work, and although schools in the UK are now closed except to a small number of students whose parents work in key areas like healthcare and delivery, and my physical presence no longer absolutely necessary, the senior management have decided otherwise and all staff, Yours Truly included, must still come into work.

I'll do my best to keep up with writing. I know that I'm not particularly good with this whole audience engagement thing, so I guess I'd like to take this opportunity now to say to everyone who has read my work, commented, faved, liked, loved, hated, or just glanced at it once, anyone who has engaged in this odd mess that I've created over the years I've been doing this, thank you.

Edit: once a month, not week. I guess that demonstrates just how out-of-it I've become.

My current job is being a bit obtuse. Some staff will have to stay back and operate what is effectively a glorified daycare, but hopefully they'll see reason and understand that I can work from home. I'll find out on Monday.

I live alone, so I can self-isolate quite easily if I need to.

No worries, I'll continue to follow and help along with the story as I can, no matter how long it takes. You're one of the best writers I've met on this site, easily. :twilightsmile:
