This is the official blog for Thadeus Morticaine. He is an aspiring author of several genres, currently working on a action packed series of stories set during the English Civil War. There is also a gothic horror series based on someone that might just so happen to be his great-great-great-grandfather. Also in the pipeline are a fantasy series where magicians plumb the depths of the light spectrum to cast their spells, a World War Two period re-telling of folk tales and fairy stories, as well as a fast paced sci-fi series harking back to the old space operas. Oh, and don't forget a detective series where a maniacal villain awaits behind every corner.

With an indepth interest in history, old pulps and black and white movies, this blog will have regular posts about historical events that he finds inspiring and which he hopes will be of a great use to others with their stories, or to those with even the slightest of interests. There'll also be articles on authors and stories that he finds particularly interesting and inspirational. He hopes that you'll find them useful as well.

Here's a book shop dear to my heart. It's Scarthin Books in Cromford, Derbyshire. I remember visiting it as a child, where I would search through the books that sprawled over the three floors - including the stairwells - of the shop. Even the café was filled with them. I even go up now with the same sense of childlike glee - I found my first set of Sexton Blake originals there over Christmas. But they need help. Check out http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/scarthin-books-needs-your-help/ and for more information about the shop itself, visit www.scarthinbooks.com
