PenBlock!

So, there's this site called PenBlock. I'm still not 100% on how to use it. As far as I can tell, it's like Pinterest for books. I think.

Anyway!! It's a cool place and you can go check out what folks are reading and share your favourite reads, as well. They also promote independent authors and thus, I have a little feature thing up on the blog there at the moment.

Me at PenBlock

Check it out!!

Review - "Blood Work"

The ever wonderful Mihai at Dark Wolf's Fantasy Reviews has put up a great review of Blood Work .

He says some very complimentary things, so I'm a bit excited about it!

And while you're there reading the review of Blood Work, check out the rest of his blog because he always has something different and interesting. I discovered one of my favourite authors, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, through Dark Wolf. Go on, do yourself a favour!

Cheers!!

Doctor Who

So, I used to watch Dr Who when I was much, much younger. My favourite doctors were, naturally, Tom Baker and the guy who used to play Tristan on "All Creatures Great and Small". It was part of the afternoon TV line-up, which regularly included such classics as The Goodies, Danger Mouse, Metal Mickey and Banana Man. The recent revamp of the series never caught my attention. I would see snippets every now and then while visiting my sister and sit patiently through her "David Tennant is spunky"...

Links to "Demon Dei"

Either Livejournal is being difficult or I'm extra dumb today, but for some reason I can't edit the "Demon Dei is Available" post to add links, so they're going here instead.

Demon Dei at Amazon.com

Demon Dei at Smashwords

Cheers!!

Bit of Silliness

I watched Sharknado last night. Technically, it's the second time I've watched it, but this time, I made it all the way to the end! Still not sure how I feel about that, though.

Anyway, while watching that bit of silliness, I did this bit of silliness...

Silly little interview type thingy

Go have a look if you're inclined to read some silly answers to some silly questions.

And now I've said/typed 'silly' so much it's gone all weird. Silly. Silly! Silly?

Cheers!!

Cover and pre-orders!!

We have a cover for Night Call Book 2, Demon Dei!! I love it. Don't you?? ;)



Six months ago, Matt took down a vampire Primal, one of the meanest supernatural beasties around. So why isn’t he in hot demand? Like the lawyer who wins the unwinnable case. Or the mechanic who works out what that clunking noise is in your car. Instead, Matt finds himself struggling to maintain his career as a monster slayer extraordinaire. But things are about to get nasty in a big, big way.

The book is now available...

"Her Writing Process" - Jenny Blackford

It was the amazing and lovely Jenny Blackford who tagged me for the "My Writing Process" blog hop, so now we're sort of doing this 'cross pollination' thing. Here's Jenny's answers to the four questions (to see her pictures, you can read her post in its original habitat here)...

What are you working on at the moment?
As usual, I'm working on a poem – this one based on a trip to the hairdresser last week. More about that later in the post...

I'm also putting the finishing touches on a review of L...

"My Writing Process" blog hop

So, this is a blog hop type deal, where someone gets tagged to write about a topic, then they tag someone or someone’s else to talk about the same thing and then those people tag yet more people and they talk and tag and on and on ad infinitum. Rather chain letterish I suppose.

The wonderfully talented and amazing (and jealous-fit inducing) author and poet Jenny Blackford tagged me in her lovely “My Writing Process” post and apparently if I don’t continue the chain, a curse shall fall on me an...

Naming Characters

Love Cracked.com and their unique takes on pop culture. My views on naming character are a little different, but then I'm not writing for comics or the lowest common denominator audience...
