Old enough to know better and young enough not to care. I'm married with a wife and three daughters.
Since I left school I've supported myself with farming, freelance writing and some consultancy.
The consultancy dried up a bit so having time on my hands I wrote the fantasy novel 'Swords for a Dead Lady'. This is on Amazon as an e-book. It didn't hurt so I did it again, and 'Dead Man Riding East' is also available on Amazon. A third book, 'The Flames of the City,' and a fourth book, 'Learning a Hard Trade', set in the same background, are now available.
Then as a bit of a change I produced a shorter book, 'The Cartographer's Apprentice' which is something of a 'prequel' to the story of Benor Dorfingil.

Blowing away the cobwebs

I was walking round checking heifers the other morning and my route takes me across a field where there were potatoes. As I walked along the headland I did a double take. I could have sworn there was ice in the tread marks left by the tractors. It was only as I looked closely that …

Jim answered Eva Sandor's question: I JUST started the ball rolling today by push my final files to IngramSpark and Amazon. I have my ISBNs, started my author page and am shooting for a Sept 30 launch date. Learning as I go! Do you have any spare gems of wisdom you can share about this process? I was telling my husband it is just so "chicken and egg". You need readers to get readers! No real wisdom, I long ago came to the conclusion that a previous generation were correct and the only thing that sells books is personal recommendation. If your mate Fergie likes a book and really raves about it, you're likely to read it. If yet ano See Full Answer

Jim and 6 other people liked Pam Baddeley's review of Les Misérables: Volume One: "I haven't seen the famous musical of this or even a film, although I once saw part 1 of a TV adaptation, so had only a vague idea of the 'plot'. The storyline follows several characters, major and minor, and tells us about them in great detail, often" Read more of this review »
