First market of 2026! I will be helping @mattartpix on his stall at the @thelazyflea in Chiswick, London, next Sunday 4t January! I will have a few books (including a box full of £5 books - stock to get rid of!), some beautiful fashion books and prints as well as ephemera. This is always a packed event, so let's see how many people venture out on what promises to be a cold post-holiday Sunday! 📍 Chiswick Town Hall 📅 Sunday 4th January ⏰ Early bird £4 (10:30–11:30) ⏰ General £2 (11:30–4) 🐾 Please note: no dogs allowed at the venue.  via Pinterest / by William H.

It's the last few days of 2025 and I am not completely up and running - I have a lot of freelance work to do still and in spite of being on deadline, I somehow cannot face getting back into it fully. I suspect that because I've been working so much since late June, I am suffering a mini-burnout! I haven't really been able to dedicate any time to my own work (Arcane Publishing, writing my own books, planning the next phase of my bookselling business).
To be honest, I'm at my happiest when I can focus 100% on my own work, be it planning and writing novels, looking for/researching vintage and preloved books or working on Arcane Publishing-related things. The other stuff (which sadly pays the bills at the moment) basically comes in the way and slows me down... I foresee 2026 to be very different, though, and I intend to make the most of being able to concentrate on my own creative and business endeavours this year - although life has had a tendency to throw unforeseen obstacles in my way recently, so I am more and more of the "take it one day at a time" school of thought. Let's proceed slowly but surely. I will be using this website and the Arcane Publishing one more often in 2026, so watch this space! 18/12/2025 I will be back in 2026! © Pemaphoto Naništa | Dreamstime.com I have had a very busy 2025, but it wasn't about book writing or selling...
I can now announce that I will be back in 2026 as a writer and bookseller. I will be using this blog and that on the Arcane Publishing website more in the future as I don't think soial media is working. So watch this space, things will start moving from the end of January onwards! In the meantime, please check Instagram on @arcanepub |
