Happy new year!
Over Christmas, I was discussing my website with a fellow writer. Smugly, I told them that I manage to update it quite regularly.
That’s when I looked to discover it had actually been over six months since the last update.
Awkward…
So, welcome to the next installment of ‘What’s happening with Chris’.
Last year flew by, with lots keeping me busy, both personally and professionally. Some highlights included plenty of travel (Milan, Florence and Stockholm among others), new commercial clients, and articles published in Men’s Fitness, Smithsonian Magazine, Metro and a few others.
You can read these on my new ‘Articles’ tab (which will be added to this site at some point in January).
Elsewhere in 2024, I also updated my third Swansea City book, Match of My Life, for a new paperback edition, which was really cool. I’d love to see one of my other books enjoy a reprint and new material, although that’s up for the publishers to decide.
What’s happening in 2025?
On to this year and the early in the year I will have my third article published in Men’s Fitness magazine. This is an interesting one that looks at recovery, fitness and football. Keep an eye out for the March edition.
Looking further ahead, in October, I have another article scheduled for the legendary Smithsonian Magazine. This article will be about another American icon, but I can’t say what yet. It’s been such a fun article to work on, I love writing for such a prestigious magazine.
I have more articles planned, but can’t say anything about them at the moment!
Elsewhere, while no books are in the pipeline this year, I am always working on ideas and may have something to share later in the year.
Finally, back in October, I created a test video to see if my editing skills were still up to previous standards. I filmed a short video on the Dylan Thomas locations around Swansea, which you can view now on YouTube. I am likely to produce a few more in 2025, so feel free to subscribe to my channel while you are there.
Anyway, that’s about all from me at the moment. If you’re reading this, I hope your 2025 is healthy and happy. Catch you soon!
