Anti-Bullying Month - Donating royalties
EXCERPT | Available from...Omnilit| BURST | Amazon UK | Amazon US
| B&N |
4th-29th November is anti-bullying month, and as part of my contribution I'll be donating the royalties from my #YA #scifi novel Gethyon to the UK charity Childline, which supports children being bullied and abused. Gethyon seems a fitting choice since my male MC is bullied at the beginning of the story. Now, because of the way I receive my royalties (quarterly) I won't know my sales until December, or possibly March....

If you Like That...Try this... #sfr #scifi #romance
You know how if you read or watch something that you really like, and you want more? But it's the last of the series, or a one-off, or if there just isn't more? Sucks, doesn't it? So, some of us decided that this week we'd do some posts to help you out. We've drawn on books, films and TV series, picking the things we like, and then tried to give you some titles we think are similar, and tags about why - what elements tie them together. Hopefully we've given you some great alternatives to try...

#Music #Monday #1 Darkfall #inspiration
Every once in a while I tweet a music track or two that I'm either listening to as I write, and/or that has inspired whatever I'm working on. This week I thought I'd do something a bit different and talk about why and how a particular track sparked ideas. The track is Burn It Down by Linkin Park, from the album Living Things.
Living Things essentially became the unofficial soundtrack for Darkfall, my decopunk superhero romance novella that has just been out to beta readers. Darkfall started of...

Keir - HOD RWA Aspen Gold 3rd Place
Well, it's taken me long enough to announce it on the blog, but...
Keir came third in the Paranormal/Time Travel/Futuristic category of the Heart of Denver RWA Aspen Gold contest. Woo Hoo! This will probably be the last contest for Keir due to the copyright date, so it was good to finish on a high. I'd like to congratulate all the other winners and finalists in the contest, especially to buddy and fellow Lyrical Press author Karen Y Bynum, whose PNR Witch Way to Turn came second in the YA cate...
