New Cover Design — “The String City Mysteries”

I’m excited to launch a brand new cover design for The String City Mysteries, a collection of seven fantasy-noir novelettes which I self-published in 2021.

Original cover design

Why the new look? Frankly, I never really liked the original cover. I put it together in a hurry, with limited means at my disposal. Having subsequently created a more elaborate set of illustrations for the Stone trilogy, I decided to use my growing library of KitBash3D assets to create something with a little m...

The many lives of a writer – 8

Most people are like cats – they live not just one life, but many. Writers are no exception. Here’s me as I spiral through the eddies of my eighth writing life.

Life 8 – Circles

It’s hard to identify when my seventh writing life segued into my eighth. I wrote my last entry in this rolling mini-autobiography way back in 2015, having just started a new role at Cinefex magazine. A hell of a lot has happened since then, not least the publication of my fantasy crime novel String City in 2019...

Refreshing The Dragons of Bloodrock

Refreshments anyone? I’ve just updated the cover and contents of my fantasy novel The Dragons of Bloodrock, which I self-published in 2020.

So, what’s new? Well, I’ve made a few small tweaks to the cover, pumping up the colours on the illustration and updating the title layout to bring it in line with Dragoncharm and my other dragon books. The alterations are minimal, as you’ll see from the inset picture showing the original artwork, but I’m delighted with the improvement.

Republishing Dragonflame – Cover Art Progression

In my last blog post, I showed you the initial cover sketch for the upcoming new edition of Dragonflame, the final volume of my Ultimate Dragon Saga series of fantasy novels.

“Dragonflame” cover artwork – early work in progress.

Work continues apace on both the cover artwork and, of course, preparation of the manuscript. This latest update on the former shows how I’m developing that initial sketch into the finished artwork. First up, I scanned the pencil drawing, then traced over it in Ado...

Republishing Dragonflame –Initial Cover Art Sketch

I’ve spent the last few years republishing some of the books from my backlist, namely the six fantasy novels published by HarperCollins between 1995-2001. The last book to get this treatment is Dragonflame, the final volume of the Ultimate Dragon Saga trilogy.

I’ve already begun work on the manuscript, a lengthy editorial and proofing process that will eventually result in a clean electronic copy of the original text. You might reasonably wonder why this is even necessary. The answer is s...

Dragonstorm – New Edition Out Now

The mission to republish my backlist just took an exciting step towards completion, with the publication of this brand new edition of Dragonstorm, the second novel in The Ultimate Dragon Saga trilogy. First published by HarperCollins in 1996, this fantasy adventure is now available from Amazon worldwide in paperback and for Kindle.
