Smashwords Interview
Smashwords have just created a new feature "Author Interviews," in which every smashwords author can participate. I think it is a great idea! The perfect way to get to know more about an author you like, or an insight into an author whose books you would like to try.
Check out my interview by clicking the link below:

Is there anything you think they should have asked me? Or do you have a question for me? Any questions (and my response to them) can be added to my interview. So have a think :)

Season of soap . . .
Yes well, this is the excuse I have for being off the blogosphere for so long. It it summer here in New Zealand, and so I have markets and fetes galore to attend and so it is "soapernatural" that has my focus right now. Make hay and all that!
That does not mean all is quiet on the book front. I am into my new book, which at the moment has the working title of "Blood and Brethren," though I am also toying with "Blood and Brotherhood." Blood and Brethren flows off the tongue more smoothly, however I mention brotherhood alot in the new book (10,000 words in, so far), so I am not sure. Or it may be called something totally different by the end . . . let me know what ya think, which has a better ring to it??
It is great to be writing a new book, though I am not getting much time to really get stuck into it. As I said it is soap season, but my mind is plotting and scheming, so I am working on it while creating soapy goodness. Winter is my writing time, like a wolf the winter is when I prosper (in writing terms anyway).
I am this weeks highlighted author on "Beyond Worlds," so if you want to take a look then just hit the link below. It is a great post and features a short excerpt of my book too.

I won't be away for so long next time . . . . I have things to say . . .

Bloggalicious!
So after dragging my heels about having a blog, I now seem to have acquired two! I am not savvy enough to link my website blog to this one yet, so will have to blog seperately for now . . . (or will cut and paste . . is that allowed in the bloggosphere??)
So new today . . . I just had an interview on Radio Southland's "the Book Show" about my book "The Wolves of Solomon." This will air on the show this Wednesday morning at 10am. Being in the wilds of Southland, without a big enough aerial, I won't even be able to hear it myself myself . . . . but I will be able to listen to it the next day, as a podcast (or something), and I guess anyone else who is interested can too :) Here is the link if you are:
http://radiosouthland-podcasts.blogs...
The woman that interviewed me, will be reviewing my book for the Southland Times aswell, and so I should have a proper newspaper review too soon, which is uber coooooool!
So now back to business and getting on with research for my new book. I shall return . . .
