New interview up at Musikdiv

Just a quick note to say that there's an interview with me up at Musikdiv, you can read the interview here. There's also a sample of one of the Dark Season books after the interview, so that's two reasons to follow the link and take a look!

Other than that, I've been getting on with the final chapter of Dark Season V: The Life, Death, Life, Life and Death of Martin Keller and have also been doing Christmas things. Just about ready for a nice nap…

Dark Season V almost finished, will be published on December 29th

Dark Season V: The Life, Death, Life, Life and Death of Martin Keller is almost finished and will be published on December 29th. The title might seem a little long and unusual, but it will make total sense when you've read the book. Martin Keller is a new character who is going to make a very big impression on the series. But is he a good guy or a bad guy? That's something that might not be obvious at first…

After that, the next books in the series will be Dark Season VI: Gothos and Dark...

Reviews and so on

The Civil Dead (Dark Season IV) is still completely free at Amazon, but only for a few more hours. It will probably go free again around New Year, but why wait that long? And if you like it (or even if you don't), a review is always welcome.

Speaking of which, I finally got my first bad review on Amazon: someone offered just one star for At War With the Hamptons. You can read the review here, and the person leaves no doubt as to why he/she didn't like the book. To be fair to the reviewer, I...

Get The Civil Dead (Dark Season IV) on Amazon!

The Civil Dead (Dark Season IV) is now available to buy on Amazon (US) and Amazon (UK). At the moment, it costs 99 cents (or about 86p in the UK), but I'm setting up a free period that will allow you to download it without paying anything. That free period will run from Sunday to Monday.

If you like The Civil Dead, let me know! And if you don't like it, also let me know! I like criticism, good and bad.

So now it's on to number 5 in the series, The Life, Death, Life, Life and Death of Martin...

Dark Season IV: The Civil Dead uploaded, slight change in details

I've just uploaded Dark Season IV: The Civil Dead to Amazon. It takes between 1 and 12 hours for its to appear online, so I'll add a link as soon as one's available.

There's a slight change to how I'm releasing this one, but don't worry, there'll still be a free version! I'm not releasing the book on Smashwords, only on Amazon. This means that it'll cost 99 cents and there won't be a free Smashwords version.

However, I'm going to run a promotion offering it for free on Amazon for a limited...

Dark Season IV: The Civil Dead is coming out on Friday!

Just a quick update to say that instead of rushing to get Dark Season IV: The Civil Dead out earlier this week, I'm setting a new date for its release. It will now be out on Friday.

The delay is because, once again, I've made some last minute changes. Basically I had a good idea, so I went back through the book to make some alterations and introduce this new idea. So the book is now being proofread and will be up on Friday.

I'm also wondering whether to get the cover changed, because it might b...

At War With the Hamptons at #12 in Kindle free humor books

At War With the Hamptons has hit #12 in the list of free humor books for the Kindle on Amazon. For some people that wouldn't be much of a big deal, but I'm pretty pleased because it means that some people, at least, are reading the thing! It's also at #31 on the contemporary fiction list, which is also nice!

In the UK, it's #14 on the free humor list. Again, that's pretty satisfactory. I'm still at the stage where I just get a thrill from the idea of anyone reading anything I've written, and i...

Dark Season IV: The Civil Dead cover

Okay, here's the cover for Dark Season IV: The Civil Dead. Hope you like it, I personally think it works better when it's big and you can see the details, whereas the smaller versions just make it look like a black smudge. But that's my fault, not the designer's, because I really wanted it to look like this.

The book should be available on Tuesday or Wednesday, depending on how fast I work over the next few days. There's still a little bit of work to do, including getting it proofread and...
