Back in March 2019, I posted a list of highly recommended books by Independent Authors I had read since joining the writing community on Twitter. If you missed it you can read it here - https://paulblakeauthor.com/2019/03/25/indie-books-theyre-awesome/. It's been 18 months, and I feel it's time to add to the list as I've read some damn… Continue reading Indie Books – They’re Still Awesome.
My latest short story The Monster. I had a lot of fun writing this. The topic of the story was to base a story on two or more events that happened on the day I was born. As soon as I saw what had that occurred on that day this story was born. It's turned… Continue reading The Monster – Short Story
Here is my latest short story The Lucky Ones. It was written from the prompt 'The One That Got Away'. I had a few ideas which might be turned into future stories, but The Lucky Ones caught my attention the most and I had a lot of fun writing it, going well over the 1k-1.5k… Continue reading The Lucky Ones – Short Story
My latest short story The First Cut is the Deepest. The theme for this story was "The course of true love never did run smooth", now I'm not a romance author and the stories I write are not lovely dovey, but this story is probably the darkest story I've ever written. Let me know in… Continue reading The First Cut is the Deepest – Short Story

The Offer - Short Story My latest short story The Offer was written for the NYC Midnight short story challenge 2020. I have been interested in entering this competition for a couple of years now and life got in the way. This year I said to myself "Screw it, just enter already." So I did.… Continue reading The Offer – Short Story
My latest short story - The Cracked Limelight was written in response to the prompt '"And the award for best blank goes to.....". The story for a change didn't go exactly as I planned. I, kind of, let the characters decide what happened. That's not normally how I write. I'm usually a lot more structured. But… Continue reading The Cracked Limelight – Short Story
