NEW RELEASE – THEIR RIGHT TO VENGEANCE

Despite having written this book over ten years ago, the follow up to FATE’S AMBITION is finally released today! After writing my first novel FATE’S AMBITION, and being naive enough to think that it was done after a year or so, it ended on a cliffhanger so I knew there was more to tell. In […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – SHATTERED

Fed up of calling my latest book, book 3, I decided it was time to knuckle down and figure out a name. It was pretty quiet at my event in Hungerford at the weekend (although I did manage a small profit), so I started writing bullet points on my phone highlighting the keys stages of […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – NEXT?

WORK IN PROGRESS The paperback for THEIR RIGHT TO VENGEANCE is now set up for release alongside the Kindle book on 3rd November, despite a bit of a hiccup. I ordered a proof, and it looked great, but I realised the designer hadn’t included the blurb on the back of the jacket. I went back […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – CRANK

The designers came back with the completed cover and marketing materials for THEIR RIGHT TO VENGEANCE, although they had to redo the paperback as it was the wrong size, so I’m pleased to share it with you all here. I’ve included FATE’S AMBITION so I can see them both together. I’ve already shown it to […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – EXTERMINATE

This week I took delivery of FATE’S AMBITION with the new cover and it looks amazing. I can’t wait to show them of at Godalming on Saturday and see how people react. I only ordered ten copies in case there was an issue, and so now I have another bundle on the way. WORK IN […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – COVER REVEAL

I’ve waited long enough. It’s time. Here is the new cover of FATE’S AMBITION, the first in my paranormal crime and mystery thriller. This is also going out to my mailing list today because the timings don’t work to tell them first. I was forced to release this now because I sold pretty much all […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – TEASE

After taking our eldest to university on Friday, my friends and I set off for what was the wettest weekend of hiking we have ever experienced, but like every other time we’ve been away together, we had an excellent time. We have however decreed though that we’re never hiking and wild camping on Dartmoor again! […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – ROBIN HOOD

Almost as soon as I publish this post, my wife and I will set out to take our eldest daughter to university near Sherwood Forest. It’s in part a sad day because we won’t see her again until December but it also marks the start of her new life as an adult, which of course […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – GOT IT COVERED

The big news this week is that I’ve signed off the new cover for FATE’S AMBITION! I really liked the first attempt of the cover the new company produced and all I had to ask for was one minor change, then I was totally happy. Despite this, I showed it to a few fans I […]

MY PUBLISHING JOURNEY – THE TOURISTS

EVENTS Last Saturday was my first event at Lyndhurst and it didn’t disappoint. Despite having some spells of horrendous rain, the tourists, and that’s what this market is about, were still coming in. I ended up only just missing the sales figures I had for Salisbury and sold at least one of every book. I […]
