Coming Soon : “The Playwright’s Woman”

“The Playwright’s Woman”, a Gothic short story with paranormal romance elements. Yes, paranormal romance elements.

I didn’t just sit down one day and tell myself to “Write a story in a popular genre (like paranormal romance) so it will sell millions”; it really is a story I’ve been meaning to tell for quite a while now. It’s about Kevin Francis Darley, a struggling absinthe-swilling playwright in late Victorian London, and incorporates elements from Celtic folklore.

In terms of publication date, well, as per Blizzard, it’ll be ready when it’s ready. But I’m almost there, bear with me.

“Abomination” for free

Seeing how experimentation with pricing is all part of the indie publishing deal, I thought I’d see what happens when I make “Abomination” free on Smashwords for a while. So now you can download it from there without even signing up or logging in. It won’t get me any money, of course, but maybe it will lead to some favourable reviews or something.

I would have made it free on Amazon, too – I’ve seen a few $0.00 ebooks in the Kindle store – but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it.
