MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – THOUSANDS

WORK IN PROGRESS Having concentrated on the episodic series Agent Carrie Harris story to follow up STOPPING POWER, I’ve now completed the second episode (with the original short story being the first) and I started working on the third episode yesterday. For now at least, the overall story, and the eventual novel, is going to […]

The logistics of the place were very convenient, with a carpark just behind the building and with […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – HUNGRY

WORK IN PROGRESS Scarlet Rain – Weather Apocalypse Series – Book 1 – I’m 16% through the latest editing passed and the manuscript is shrinking further, it may be that I’m going to get it below the target of 90,000 words. Progress is pretty slow with an average of a chapter completed each day, which […]

WORK IN PROGRESS Scarlet Rain – Weather Apocalypse Series Book 1 – Despite having lost two writing days due to the […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – GONE POSTAL

WORK IN PROGRESS Stopping Power – An Agent Carrie Harris Undead Short Story – The A6 booklets have been delayed by the incompetence of DPD to deliver them to my office two days in a row. This is very frustrating as I wanted to have them for my event on Saturday. Who knows when I […]
