Pen Review – Visconti Rembrandt

My review of a pen I’ve been waiting for. The price was perfect and it arrived quickly. Thank you Anderson Pens…

Pen Review – Parker 45 Flighter

This is the first of my pen reviews where I talk about a resurrected Parker 45 Flighter. I really enjoy writing with this pen, although it does seem to have a sweet spot on the nib.

I hope to be doing more of these as my pen collection grows. Next there should be a review of a Visconti Rembrandt which has just arrived

Gerald – Book Trailer

I just created a little book trailer using free software, images and music.

This is not an official book trailer by my publisher, it is my amateurish attempt and all errors are my own.

I hope you enjoy it

This is a short Q&A session where I answer questions that I have been asked recently. I’m hoping to do more of these video logs so keep the questions coming.

AUTHOR VLOG – MORINGA’S MISSION

Here is a short video showing my other passion; animal rescue. Moringa’s Mission / Los Ayudantes de Animales Republica Dominicana​ do a lot here, in the Dominican Republic, to help the local animal population and Dee Morrison works tirelessly to rescue and treat any animal in distress. She lives the life of an animal rescuer and Moringa’s is a charity well worth supporting.

My journey to being published. There are areas here that might be of interest to all writers not matter which path they take to getting their book into the public eye. I talk more about the process of having a publisher behind you rather than having to do it all yourself.

Cover Reveal – Gerald and the amulet of Zonrach – by Carl Hackman

It is finally here, the time to reveal the cover for my debut novel, ‘Gerald and the amulet of Zonrach’. I just want to say a huge thanks to Sean Ricks who painted this awesome cover, and my publisher, Immortal Works, for the final design which will adorn my book on its release May 16th.

It has been a long, and sometimes bumpy, road to get to this stage and was it worth it? Without a shadow of a doubt. The experiences I’ve had since signing the contract are nothing short of amazing.

So, without further ado here is the cover for Gerald

AUTHOR VLOG – FOUNTAIN PENS

In this video I talk about writing by hand using my old fountain pens. After watching several videos by Michael Jecks I started looking for a new pen to replace my old ones that don’t really perform that well.

Obviously I won’t be able to acquire one of the really nice ones that Michael uses, but I am sure I can find one to suit my budget that will give me many hours of writing enjoyment. A cup of coffee, a comfy armchair and my notebook and fountain pen. That is a wonderful way to write
