This year was slower for publications than I’d intended it to be, though that sometimes happens when Normal Life doesn’t stick to the plan. That said, I still managed to produce a fair bit of work and have new books lined up for 2024 releases. Books and Stories This year, I published three short comics…
Thought Bubble weekend is always a blast, but isn’t without its flaws. These are, generally, not the fault of the convention. Unless they control the weather. In which case, boo hiss. But I’m getting ahead of myself. This year, Thought Bubble was an opportunity to launch Fractured Realms. With a wee little graphic mocked up before…
A little while ago, a woman gave out about blackout poetry (erasure poetry) on Twitter, and people got mad at her. I’ve since started making my own. Below was my first attempt, having only the barest familiarity with them and having never done one before. This weekend will see the launch of my first chapbook…
After a weekend of not looking at the Internet, I found out on Monday that Limit Break Comics has been nominated for Best Publisher in the European Science Fiction Society Hall of Fame Awards! Nominees are selected by members from that country, which means the Irish nominators saw fit to put us forward! Check out…

At the moment, there’s not a huge amount to say from the Limit Break Comics’ front that wasn’t already mentioned in the awards section. The pitches for Down Below are still being sorted through. We received more than five times as many pitches for the book as we did for Turning Roads, so it’s taking slightly longer to narrow down…
In July 2019, I launched my first ever Kickstarter to fund the printing of Plexus #1. That book contains stories illustrated by Rebecca Reynolds, Colm Griffin and Steve Mardo, telling science fiction stories with a focus on the human element. Issue two is now live on Kickstarter, for which I’m joined by Donna A Black, Barry…
If you’ve been paying attention to my social media the last few weeks, you’ll seen mention of a wee little anthology I’m putting together through Limit Break Comics. Turning Roads is aiming to collect comic adaptations of Irish folklore and mythology stories, set in modern and future Ireland. The book will be going to Kickstarter later this…
