A Wordle View Of Gears

Back in the mists of time, just after I'd finished the first draft of Gears of Wonderland, I used a site called Wordle to create a pictorial view of the manuscript. Wordle will analyse any text you supply, then create a picture where it sizes the most commonly used words relative to how frequently you [...]

A New Look

In celebration of the upcoming release of Gears of Wonderland (which is now out of editing – I'm just waiting on some final feedback about the blurb, then I can add it to Amazon), I've decided to also update the site with a new look. I hope you like it. I'm sure in a few [...]

Guest Author Book Excerpt – Asylum, by Erik Lynd

Today's I'm hosting another excerpt from a guest author. The novel is called Asylum, written by Erik Lynd. I actually bought Erik's book a few months ago because the blurb sounded fascinating, but I have to confess it's still sitting in my to be read pile. Having just read his excerpt, I can safely say [...]

A Look At "131 Days", by Keith C. Blackmore

If you're a regular reader (do I have any? ), you might remember that I'm good friends with fellow author Keith C. Blackmore. Keith has recently released a new novella, 131 Days, that focuses on gladiators. Keith hopes to write many more stories in this universe, but time will tell. I didn't get a chance [...]

Aaaaand We're Live On The New Server

I mentioned a few days ago that the site was in the middle of a server move. It looks like my hosting company has finally finished the move (after some prodding from me), and everything made it across okay. But I think I'll still give it a day or so to settle down before I [...]

Guest Author Book Excerpt – A Game of Blood

Today I have something I've never done before. It's a book excerpt from a guest author, Julie Ann Dawson, for her paranormal thriller A Game of Blood. I haven't read the book, but the blurb certainly sounds like it would appeal to my tastes. What would you do if a 300 year old vampire decided [...]

Appearing and Disappearing Posts

It's always the way. Just when I'm ready to start posting here again, things get in the way. In this case, it's my web host. They are currently in the process of moving my sites (I have many ) to another server. Which means they have to copy everything off the old (current) server. Which [...]

Guest Post: Make Me Feel Something, by Mary Anna Evans

Today's post is a guest post by Mary Anna Evans, author of (among many other books) the novel Wounded Earth. You can find her at her main website at http://www.maryannaevans.com/. I'm currently reading a book that I'm not enjoying much.  I'm not going to tell you its name, because I think I'm the only person [...]
