New Year's resolutions? I'm going to get this second book out in 2015 if it kills me!

Hey all, I hope you all had a great year and celebrated last night like it was, er, the last night of 2014!

It's been a bit of a crazy year for me. The 'real' job kind of took over and after numerous false dawns about getting the follow-up to The Drought finished, I am pleased to say that The Flood is heading to an eBook near you very soon.

I'm hopeful to have it finished within the next few weeks so watch this space and keep checking the blog out for updates.

Until then, Happy New Year everyone and I hope 2015 is a super year for you!

Update on the second novel part 2 - The Flood has been delayed!

So earlier in the year I posted that I was hoping to have my second novel The Flood published in the summer. Well, as you can probably guess that hasn't quite happened, but...!

I am hoping to have it out by the end of the year. The aim is now to get it out in November to coincide with the announcement of the winner for the Shirley You Jest book awards which my debut novel The Drought has been shortlisted for.

So what can I tell you about The Flood? Well, it is a follow-up to The Drought, which is the hilarious dating disaster novel (details below of how you can download the eBook for free until November 1). Dan is back with his pals Rob, Jack, and Ollie, but instead of experiencing a sexual drought, the boys are challenging Dan to go in the opposite direction to experience a flood of women. After making a bet that he could pull four different girls in just a month, Dan is up to his old tricks again! There are new characters aplenty and just as many laughs.

In the meantime, make sure you keep checking the blog out and Like my page on Facebook and follow me on Twitter to be kept up to date with all the latest news about the upcoming book.
