I’ve been quiet for a long time. Quiet because I’ve been busy and quiet because I haven’t known what to say. As an update there is a book and it is on its way, as it has been for some time. And there are details I could share, but I won’t because I like the… Continue reading
Last year I spent a lot of time working on a novel that didn’t come together. I put Book 2 on hold so that I could pursue this new idea and when I clocked out at about eighty thousand words, with two chapters still to write, I knew that I’d screwed something up. Maybe it… Continue reading
A friend of mine, Matt Rogers, released his first book about a month ago. It’s called Isolated and is the first in a series. If you like thrillers with a dollop of bravado and generous splash of blood, you should check it out. I quite enjoyed it 🙂 You can check it out or grab a… Continue reading
TL;DR Read: ‘The Regional Office is Under Attack’ by Manuel Gonzales Read: ‘Swann’ by Phil Etherington Think about stuff. Be creative even when you should be doing other things.

See the first three… Continue reading
Over the last few days I’ve joined in with the trendy people who write as their first activity of the day. I say this having spent no time at all researching or involving myself in understanding and unpacking this trend. My wife mentioned it and, while I thought it sounded cool, I couldn’t imagine myself… Continue reading
When someone suggests that ‘maybe you should have someone format your ebook for you’, it would be wise to consider their words carefully. It’s not that they’re very informative words. In fact as far as words go, not to mention how comments from people you trust go, they’re a little condescending and deflating. They imply,… Continue reading
tl;dr – Buy the book, tell me all your thoughts and maybe (please) write a review on goodreads or Amazon for it 😛 Well! Here we are in that cautious and nerve-wracking place where I’ve pushed something tenuous and defenseless out into the world and now I have to wait, with bated breath mind you,… Continue reading
After a gruelling few days the cover is ready. There were several iterations. Three or four ideas that went through various stages of development. But now, it is here. Release date is still to come but we’re looking at ‘March’, probably earlier rather than later.
