What to Expect When Your Custody Case Goes to Court
StandardMy third piece for BLB is live. I shall admit that I was completely unprepared for how writing it would effect me. I had not appreciated quite how much of the detail of what we all went through I had buried away, and digging it up was quite a harrowing experience. It’s made me realise that I’m most definitely in no way at peace with it all.

Collector’s Gazette – Masterpiece features

Collectors Gazette
StandardThe first of two articles I’ve written on Takara and Hasbro Transformers Masterpieces will appear in next month’s Collectors Gazette!

I’m enjoying this non-games freelancing and will hopefully be doing more in the future, particularly on the subject of parenting.
