My apologies to all of those who entered my giveaway then flagged as spam, my offer to buy the book at a discount. I thought the idea of Giveaways and Goodreads was for author's to promote their books.

I've written a couple of books so far, two-thirds of a trilogy. Recently, I received a review of the first book, "No Heaven". It's not a bad review. In fact, up until the last paragraph it's a pretty good review... well thought out and praiseful of the writing and editing. The last paragraph of t... Read more of this blog post »

First free promotion is about to go into it's last day. Take-up (or downloads - whichever you prefer) isn't at the level I'd hoped, but it is there and still increasing.

It's interesting that the proportions between countries have stayed about the same since the first twelve hours.

Reading enriches our lives. I once heard a man say proudly, “I haven’t read a book since I left school.” I felt sorry for him, for he had missed out on one of the simplest, most easily achievable and fulfilling experiences in life – something that not only gives hours of enjoyment but also helps...

Promoting a book is a bigger job than I ever imagined when I first sat down at a keyboard to write one.

I have never been good at this sort of thing. Even after a life in the music biz, where everyone has to self-promote to achieve anything at all, I'm still uncomfortable blowing my own horn.

I read this because it's published by Bloomsbury - a publisher with excellent instincts. But I was a bit disappointed, and upon investigating found that some other reviewers felt the same.

Not that I expect producers to be literate and articulate, but man, Warner Brothers should not let Man of Steel producer Deborah Snyder do interviews.

A lot of the messaging in this film is about family, and who makes you who you are.
