New Zaldizko Paperback Cover

Updated the cover today to showcase Famine.  Hoping this version ticks boxes and appeals to the greater peeps.

I'll be uploading this to Amazon, which should push out the changes in the next few days.

A Zaldizko Strategy

I might come across as fickle to some, but my changes is according to my dynamic marketing strategies as I face swift business changes between the User Content Sharing and Traditional Book Selling worlds. Both are adapting to digital transformation and incorporating artificial intelligent content strategies to increase target advertising with ethics. I want to keep up with that.So, I've decided to cut the endings for Zaldizko and all books I'll self publish with redir...

Tapread Trophy Moments

Oh my God. Tapread.com, you're making me cry with joy too much. Another weekly feature with The Fourth Zaldizko and Dragonieth taking front stage.  This is a first that I've had consecutive features on a web fiction site.

Last week was Zaldizko.

I've managed to gain some read interest.  Still not any reader interaction, which is a shame. This site attracts more silent readers than other web novel sites. So, all good in that respect.

Thank you Tapread.com for showing support to my stori...

Re-engineering Success, Tapread & Wattpad

In my last post, I wrote about my realised failures. So, what does this author need to do to overcome this?

Aside from continuing to write there is also continuing to learn and appreciate varied opportunities and surprise gift moments.

Surprise Gift #1

Tapread.com gave me a pleasant surprise when I felt at my lowest as an author.

When I turned up to their site and saw my cover on their front page as a recommendation, I was gobsmacked. At first, I didn't realise it. 
I'm extremely grateful tha...

Dreaming For Success. Realizing Failures.

Sigh. 13 years on and still no success. I guess I'll keep trying on autopilot.  As much as I like to thing my stories are doing well, they aren't.  Lots of passing interest, but no readers.

It's really hampering on my motivation to write. I've been procrastinating because I haven't been receiving an incentive to write more. 

I practically sabotaged my chances to gain readership by killing off To Like A Man.  I didn't realise how much support that story had received.  Al...

TLAM Fond Farewell But Not A Goodbye

As it was before the curtain's close.
At end of Final Week

Alas, the curtain is about to close on TLAM. I'm grateful for the support this story has received.  Below are some moments that I've captured from Readers who have been kind to comment.


I've been a lucky cat and express again my gratitude.  For a long term vision, some sacrifices must be made. It's killing me inside to let this story go, but go it must.

I'll continue to write on it in draft and complete.  I'll consider publ...

My Vision 2022 - Let's Push the Future Forward

"Let's push the future forward, one notch at a time."

This is my story 2022 vision, where I aim to produce a catalogue of fantasy and historical fiction stories to promote this vision.

In my stories, I'll continue to promote diversity and inclusiveness the best I can. 

I'm not a perfect human, so I'm going to slip up and likely piss someone off.  I do my best to be thoughtful and consider impacts.  There's only so much consideration one brain can manage.  If I do slip up, I w...
