I do love a good ruin, me 😎🏰

Our walk from Shipley Bridge to Avon Dam today didn't fail to impress, with the route taking you past the ruins of the former Brentmoor House (also known as Brent Manor).

Previous owners include Francis Meynell, an ex-naval servicemen who also became an artist amusing his retirement, some of his work being displayed today in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Meynell's story brings with it his own personal tragedies, with the death of both his five-year-old daughter Mary and fifteen-month-old son Geoffrey during his five-year ownership of the property.

Brentmoor House later became a youth hostel before being abandoned and demolished in 1968, just over a decade after the completion of the Avon Dam a couple of miles away.

Getting home today from a week away, I was ecstatic to find this in my pile of post - finally got my hands on a UK first edition copy of 'Meg' for my collection 😎👌🙌

For any other Meg-heads out there, be sure to check out my recent interview with Steve Alten himself for Dead Men Talk, available over on the Dead Men's Tales & Turnuckles YouTube channel, and all major podcast platforms.

‼️NEW NAME, SAME GREAT CONTENT ‼️

Those of you who are particularly eagle-eyed may have spotted new artwork and references to a new name over on my YouTube channel recently. I've taken to decision to move the channel from 'Dead Men's Tales Podcast Network' which I thought was a bit clunky and not fully reflective, to 'Dead Men's Tales & Turnbuckles'.

I have also been busy trying to update video thumbnails to give everything a fresher look but still have some way to go, but hope you'll agree that it's already looking a hell of a lot cooler 😎

You'll still be able to find all of my main podcasts there, including my wrestling endeavours on and 'Go Figure!', my BTCC show 'Reverse Grid' and the big brother of all my series, 'Dead Men Talk'.

🚨‼️ NEW EPISODE ALERT ‼️🚨

is RESURRECTED once again and boy, do I have a show for everyone! 🤩 In what is truly a bucket-list event for me, I have had the honour of sitting down with my literary hero Steve Alten and am proud to bring you the interview in it's entirety NOW across all my channels.

Steve Alten is best known for his international bestselling debut 'Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror', which spawned not only a hugely successful book series but also two Hollywood blockbuster movies starring 🦈📽

It was also Steve's 'Mayan Prophecy' trilogy which inspired me to write my series, meaning he is also one of the main reasons why I not only became a writer but also, as a result, the reason this podcast even exists.

In this interview, Steve talks about his journey to becoming a writer, the transition of the Meg from page to big screen (including his own experiences and thoughts on the movie itself), through to challenges faced when writing the Mayan Prophecy, and also updates on his current WIPs, including the Meg finalé 'Meg: Purgatory' and the third instalment in The Loch series, 'Heaven Lake.'

Please do not pass this one by!

********************************************************

They thought the end had come in 2012. But that was only the beginning.

Born on the fateful night of December 21st 2012, Zero Morden was found and saved by his adoptive father during the final cataclysmic events which destroyed all life in Wildermoor. But he had already been born with a dark secret.

18 years later, Zero awakes in a hospital bed with no memory of who he is or why he is there. His father now dead, Zero’s memories slowly return as he returns to the last place he called home. There he discovers more of his past...as well as the destructive entity growing inside him.

Cursed with his own links to Wildermoor, Callum Laing follows orders of the mysterious elitist group known as The Society, to find Zero and help destroy any trace of his existence before it is too late.

In order to survive, they must both return to Wildermoor and learn more about their dark legacies than either ever wished to know.

What is happening to Zero? Who are the men that want him dead?

And what of those he meets in Wildermoor who claim they can help him?

Poison In The Well is the first part in the chilling new Wildermoor series, The Wildermoor Resurrection.
