Haunted - update
Formatting of the e-book version of Haunted is taking place as I write this. It is with eBookBuilders
I think it will take a couple more days to finish and will then be uploaded onto Amazon KDP.
I am also waiting for a proof copy of the paperback version from Lulu.com before I finally publish that.
While you're waiting, here's the blurb/description:
"Nigel Price has MURDER on his mind.
He can run but he cannot hide. Nigel's past has come back to haunt him. The truth is, his past has never left him... it follows him without remorse, catching him at every turn. There is no escape.
Regret, guilt, nightmares, despair... these fill his every waking hour and disturb his sleepless nights.
Take a trip inside Nigel's mind, in this dark, psychological thriller with a paranormal twist."

Book & writing news, and an update on my own writing
I realise I haven't blogged much here recently, sorry... To make up for it I'm going to fill you in with lots of interesting stuff that's been going on in the book world. When I say 'the' book world, I mean 'my' book world of course. Not only my books, but books by my favourite authors.
It's been an exciting few months with lots of my favourite authors releasing new books. One I must mention straight away is a FREE Kindle book that came out today! It's Nine Lives
Beautiful cover, isn't it?
You can get a free copy for your Kindle for the next few days from Amazon.
I've read You Wish... and The Other Side, by Terry Tyler, and would not hesitate to recommend both of those to anyone who loves a good book.
Here's the link to Amazon.com, but it's available worldwide: http://www.amazon.com/Nine-Lives-Terr...
Other notable new releases this month are:
I'm looking forward to reading all of those.
Recent books I've read that I would recommend are:
Ooh... I've just realised there's kind of a cat theme going on here, what with Terry Tyler's book cover, Jason Mcintyre's new release, and 'Four Paws', alongside 'Kiwi in Cat City' :)
I'm currently reading, and enjoying, 13, by Julie Elizabeth Powell - a dark fiction/horror novel that really shows how great this author's imagination is (oddly enough, there's a cat in this book too!).
Julie has one of her books on sale until Christmas, Knowing Jack is a wonderful adventure story, and only 99cents at the moment. Here's the link to the book on Amazon.com (it's also available at the reduced price in worldwide Amazon stores): http://www.amazon.com/Knowing-Jack-Ju...
Books that have been sitting on my Kindle for far too long (and which I hope to read very soon), include:
... and about 100 others ;)
Books that I've heard will be released soon and that I'm looking forward to, are:
The Christmas Spirit, by Susan Buchanan
Keep an eye on her blog for the release date: http://www.susancbuchanan.blogspot.co.uk
Fastian, by Jay Finn
Again, details of the release date should be on his blog soon: http://jayfinnauthor.wordpress.com
More news!
1. A writer I met at The Literary Consultancy's recent conference, Laxmi Hariharan, has started writing a series of short stories on UK Asia Online. You can read Bombay Shorts and follow the series, at the following link: http://www.ukasiaonline.com/features-dp1
2. I've just found out about this Kickstarter campaign by a new author, Charles H. Penn, that seems well worth backing. All you science fictions fans, take a look and help this young author realise his dream! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/c...
My writing
Now, a quick update on my own writing. I've been busy editing A Time to Tell, for a second edition. I have a brand new cover for it too, designed by Aeternum Designs http://aeternumdesigns.com/. I'm hoping to be revealing that soon.
I would imagine the book will be released in the early part of 2014.
I'm also working on a new short story collection, as yet untitled, but might be called 'Far Away in Time', which is the title of one of the stories.
Although I haven't yet finished the collection, I think there will be 10 short stories altogether. I have written 7 of those already, and have written the beginnings of the other 3 stories. I'm looking forward to sharing these stories with you all. They range from fantasy to dark fiction.
That's all for now.
