When I released the first episode of my audio drama "The Midnight Carols" two years ago, I couldn't have imagined that I would reach 15'000 downloads.

In hindsight, there are things I'd do differently, but it remains a labour of love and a project very close to my heart.
I'm very grateful to the support I received from my wife, Nathalie, my family. I couldn't have wished for a better crew! And of course, I'm grateful to you all, my friends and listeners.

Maybe you've never listened to audio dramas, maybe you think ghost stories or Christmas tales are silly fun for children... or maybe you've already listened to the Midnight Carols a few times already. In any case, if you want to join me, wrap up in your favourite blanket, have a nice cuppa, close your eyes, and listen.

"Noel" is a poem by J. R. R. Tolkien (1936) that has been rediscovered in 2013. It perfectly captures the tone I was going for in the Midnight Carols. Enjoy!

Noel was written by J.R.R. Tolkien for the Christmas bulletin of Our Lady’s Abingdon in Oxfordshire. At the time Tolkien was in the process of writing the H...

With nothing more than a mysterious blues record to track down the people responsible for his brother’s death, Lazarus 'Aces' Johnson will stop at nothing to get his revenge. Armed with his conjure bag, his .45 and his dry wits, Aces will cross paths with a rogues’ gallery of colourful characters inspired by the songs of blues musicians such as Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Ma Rainey, or Howlin’ Wolf. You can expect the dead to rise from the grave and the living to be buried alive. The Devil is waiting at the Crossroads, will you dare answer his call?

In a few days, I am launching the Kickstarter campaign for my new audio drama, 'Devil's Coin Blues'. If you liked 'The Midnight Carols' or if you enjoyed Kristin Holland's interpretations of my work, you'll love 'Devil's Coin Blues'!

A Southern Gothic tale of revenge, mystery, eldritch terrors, and blues music, Devil's Coin Blues weaves together music, cosmic horror, and vibrant characters to provide six half-hour episodes of immersive, terrifying, heart-rending audio entertainment.

There will be plenty of exciting rewards too! From a signed, illustrated copy of the script to a chance to showcase your vocal talent by taking part in one of the episode, there will be something for everyone!

05/09/2022

Next week, voice artist Kristin Holland (the voice behind 'The Forgotten Suitcase' and the evil uncle) will release a new instalment of his award winning podcast 'Nocturnal Transmissions' featuring a dark tale by yours truly.

Lazarus ‘Aces’ Johnson is a con artist with a gift. But when he meets a Stranger in the notorious Mephisto Club, he gets a tougher deal than he anticipated. Who is conning whom? Aces’s life, his brother’s and even the fate of the world as we know it hang on a roll of the dice… Tune in next week!
