The latest news, excerpts, thoughts and writings from AJ Comley
“The war of swords is over. The subtle war of power and politics—the war of wills—that is a different fight altogether. I will not play the docile, returning king who retires to his gardens. I will be the invader who passes through the front gates to the sound of trumpets and thunderous applause.”
from The Stone Curtain
Welcome to my website. I am a writer who has recently completed a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Surrey. From a young age, I always took an interest in reading and writing, with a special love for fantasy – a genre which has defined my life in many ways. I also hold a high respect for ghost stories, horror, science fiction and historical fiction.
I first attempted the craft of writing at a very young age, with ‘Trek’, a delightful rip-off of the Myst game series, in addition to ‘Ion James’ (a misspelling of Ian), my own interpretation of James Bond. Suffice to say, I have improved since then.
On this website, you will find a series of blogs covering my own writing in addition to my own thoughts on literature, films and music. This includes Prog.Gaming – a blog exploring one of my favourite gaming subgenres based around puzzles, exploration and the idea of “Games as Art”.
