I am delighted for my good friend Theresa Godly, whose short film on Parental Alienation – The Stranger I Love – has made it into The Big Syn film festival in Piccadilly. We still hope to raise more money for submission to other festivals around the world and spread awareness of the terrible social issue or #parentalalienation in the hopes it shall be criminalised. https://www.tinyurl.com/tsilfmhttps://www.tinyurl.com/tsilfm
I am delighted to inform you all that earlier this afternoon we managed to cross our funding goal. A huge thank you to everyone who has pledged. With over three and a half weeks still left, we should be able to get a few more Backers as well.
The gamebook community is very niche, but also incredibly supportive of itself and this has shone through.
In the meantime keep spreading the word, and hope to bring you something great in return. You can back this project <<<HERE>>>
When I was 19 years old, I produced my first full length interactive gamebook manuscript, The Curse Of Axehead Island. On reading it back to myself, it felt flat, with an off-the-peg plot and rather boring characters. I even had a go at illustrations for it but could never match the skills I was weened on. (See pic 🤢)
25 years later, I had an inspiring walk on the local beach with my dog. I managed to tweak that dusty old manuscript enough that it became more engaging, with a couple of clever twists. It became The Druids Of Pneuma. The third book that I self-published on the readily available Amazon KDP. Better still, having met my own heroes from yesteryear, I managed to recruit one of the illustrators whose work I’d admired for so many years before. And now, Malcolm Barter and I are preparing to work on another project. The Witches Of Cara, now live on Kickstarter.
It is with great delight that I can announce that my second Kickstarter project has gone live. In just six hours we have funded 75% of our target £1500 and I have no doubt the project will fund. However, will it fund within 24 hours and get the best coverage on the KS website? Only by people backing this project is this achievable, so if you fancy a kick ass horror gamebook and other goodies, check out Paranormal Hero: The Witches Of Cara on Kickstarter today! CLICK HERE

Healing from narcissistic abuse can take a very long time. There are certain situations where forgiveness is not the answer in helping you move on. I have had years to study this, and like a bereavement, this crap can hurt forever. Only time, and more positive life experiences to water down the negative will even remotely ‘ease’ the damage done. Dr Ramani explains this perfectly.

Well October 1st will see the Kickstarter launch for our next gamebook, Paranormal Hero 3: The Witches Of Cara. There will be a limited amount of special edition hardbacks and other rewards clobber. The first of that to come back are these Witches Of Cara playing cards, for those who wish to retire from dice as the combat component. My eldest daughter, Cassia, runs through the proof set and gives her approval. You can visit our prelaunch page here https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/banneradders/paranormal-hero-3
It has been a harrowing couple of years to say the least, so much so, it has had an effect on my health. I stand defiantly against abusers even now, and will not fold to their uneducated drivel. With my memoirs from November 2015 to July 2024 now published in paperback and ebook form, I can move along sound in the knowledge that the truth behind the horror is there for everyone to see, including the shallow-minded disciples. The only thing that was not a lie in nine years, are my children who love me unconditionally. A love which I reciprocate. Now I can move on, and the vile cannot change that. I underline the charlatans and miles of misery, and proceed happy and defended. I have a life and it won’t last forever. I will live it.
