A Superb Collection of Horror — Cauldron Gristle
My good friend, Keith C. Blackmore, has recently released a new collection of short horror fiction. I was a beta reader for Cauldron Gristle. I'm not a huge horror reader, but I was really sucked into each of the stories that Keith has written. So much so that I had to re-read each of them, [...]

June Sales, And A Top Five Win!
June has been and gone (where the heck has the year gone!?), and with it another month of sales numbers are in. When I set up this site originally, I planned to share my sales every month. Not out of any sense of gloating, but simply to be open and honest about this self-publishing gig. [...]

Authors – Backup, Backup, Backup!
It started out innocently enough. I opened my email program (Thunderbird) last night, and realised that a number of my mailboxes were missing. "Hmm, how odd," I thought, and had a quick look on Google to see if it was a common problem. It turned out it was. Sometimes the preferences file for Thunderbird gets [...]

My Thoughts On John Locke's "How I Sold 1 Million eBooks in 5 Months"
Like most self-published authors, when I heard about John Locke's marketing book (titled, very appropriately, How I Sold 1 Million eBooks in 5 Months), I had to buy a copy to take a look. Given the success John has had as a self-published author, I'd be crazy to skip it! This isn't really a review [...]

Sample: Cryoskip's Footprints, part 2
This is the second scene from Cryoskip's Footprints. We again get to see Derek (and his travelling companions) in action, but we also start to see that Derek has changed in the years since Butch last saw him — and not necessarily for the better. You can read the first scene here. * Butch stared [...]

A Long Silence
It's been a while since I last posted here. I'd love to say it's because I've been so hard at work writing that I haven't had time to think about other things… but I'd be lying. Instead, I had a small case of 'real life', which took my attention and focus away from writing for [...]

Sample: Cryoskip's Footprints, part 1
It's been a few weeks since I put a writing sample up, and since I have just released Cryoskip's Footprints, it seemed like the obvious choice for a new sample. Enjoy! Cryoskip's Footprints Striding into the dingy club, Derek took in the scene at a glance. It was typical of all the backwater dives he [...]
