Stage: Development

“When I am dead, I hope it may be said, “His sins were scarlet but his books were read.”"
- Hilaire Belloc

Scarlet Sins is a collection of poetry, prose and lyrics that gets added to whenever I write something new that doesn’t fit anywhere else. With no definite ending, the project will move to the finalisation stage arbitrarily, whenever I feel like publishing it.

As well as bringing together a load of unpublished poetry (you can find most of it on Facebook), the project also brings together the tablature, chords and lyrics of the most popular songs that I’ve written, including all of the tunes on Nocturne and a couple of tracks that are previously unreleased.

Check out the front cover and back page blurb as they stand so far:
