If you want to check that Dom is alive, well, and (most importantly) still writing, then this is the place to do it…
Here is where Dom provides updates on all his projects be it short stories, competitions or his debut novel A Better Crown, plus any other strange ideas he may come up with.
It may include some columns and opinion pieces from his journalistic work.

Enjoy.
