I have managed to finish the first draft of "Time to Click" It's the third and final part of the Awakenings Series. I've given myself a couple of days before i get into the tortuous process of editing.
After publishing Click, i will be focusing on completing a couple of nonfiction books. The first is a book on gambling, which is ready for editing. It's not about encouraging it with a series of tips. It's more of method of gaining knowledge on the pitfalls, the risks and how to educate children so they don't fall into gambling without a full understanding. We don't need government controls, we need to educate.
The second nonfiction piece is early in the outlining stage and will be a mix of a self help guide for businesses and autobiographical, reviewing the successes I've experienced as a lean manufacturing consultant/contractor and how I turned the theory into practice to solve manufacturing problems and identify/deliver on-going cost savings with low investment requirements.
After completing those, I will be back onto the fiction route with a series of novellas around the Billy Spark short story which is available to read on my site (Blog post Oct 2020).

Nov 2021 It's coming
After a busy summer, Time to Click is nearly ready. The Shark Tank have completed their reviews and i’m on final read throughs before sending out to my proof readers.
It feels good to be completing my first series, but it’s also exciting to be looking towards my next projects. My non-fiction project, Why you should teach your kids about gambling is also out for proof reading. I’ve included some people who have struggled with gambling addiction and so far the response has been really pleasing.
My next fiction project will be the Billy Spark Series. If you can find it, the short story that inspired the series is on this site.
