Grammatically Challenged

Hi everyone, and thank you for supporting my books.


In the last month alone, my book was downloaded over ten times across the world. For an independent author like myself, that is quite an achievement!


It is with this in mind that I talk about something rather embarrassing  and that I feel I should let you know about.


Last year, I picked up a book on How To Write A Novel, and gained some advice from top authors, and when I looked at their work and mine, I noticed something glaring. I put no punctuation at the end of dialogue.


When I realised this, it made me my books seem very unprofessional  as I did not have the funds to enlist the help of an editor.


In the next few weeks, I am going to re-edit all the books I currently have on sale, and re-upload them with this error corrected. You should receive a notification from Amazon or Smashwords to inform you of when this takes place.


Thank you once again for buying my books, and hope you will like what I have in store for 2013.

Exciting Annoucement

In addition to The Shifting Secrets Book 1 and the secret book, I will also be releasing a visual novel game made in Ren'py, a open source game making software package.

No idea if it will be an existing book, or one of the ones I am currently writing, but if you are interested, I will be announcing more in the future.

I Won NaNoWriMo!

I’ve done it! 50,366. The book is nowhere near finished, but I’ve won NaNoWriMo!



I may upload some snippets as time goes on, but I did it!
