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.

Hello all,

One thing I have been doing alongside planning a selection of action adventure stories set during the English Civil War is to plan the background for a couple of other novels. Yes, I know, I know, I need to sit and finish off some of these works in progress, but things are in hand.

English Civil War guard duty


I have taken up an interest in folklore and fairy tales and I plan to base a novel and possibly some short stories on what I've learnt. I have had a love for myths, legends and folklore for many a year now and I would love to incorporate some of these in my writing. I also love the stories of Arthur Machen, M R James and Algernon Blackwood and the way that they have utilised their love of the old ways into their writing. The Angels of Mons anyone?

Well, anyway, with this novel I would like to explore the folklore and fairy tales of the Celts, as well as the myths and legends of the British Isles through the eyes of a pompous professor of history as he travels through a county that straddles our material world and the realm of the Fae.

The Fairy Realm


Another background I have been working on is that of a classic style pulp fiction series. If you like Indiana Jones and the old boys own adventure stories, then I think this will be for you.

With this, I wanted to explore what it would be like if the Nazis had managed to invade Britain during their Operation Sea Lion - a very real set of plans that saw the powers of Germany want to exploit the events of Dunkirk that were eventually cancelled - and to through into the mix a good selection of super sciences and mythical monsters. Cue Commandoes go into battle alongside werewolf brigands against vampires with laser death rays.
