On the 15^th March 2022, we celebrated Notepad turning 2 years old. In September this year Yanagi will turn 6! Don’t they grow up so fast? Brings a tear to my eye… and reminds me of a simpler time before the weight of the world crushed my spirit, and the last of my youthful handsomeness was sapped away by the cruel advance of years and ever mounting stresses and existential crises.

Also we have some great news! One of our stories from Notepad Stories found its way into print. It’s a horror short I wrote called ‘The Teddy Bear Principle’. It is featured in CultureCult Press’s horror anthology, ‘Sleepwalk’. It is available to buy as either a paperback book or as an e-book. I’m absolutely delighted to see one of my short stories published in a physical book for the first time! I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supports us at Yanagi Studios, and Notepad Stories.
