A Man With A Gun – Full Release!

I’m very happy to announce that A Man With A Gun is now fully released, in both paperback and Kindle formats! Even better, the book has a nifty new trailer! Check it out:

How cool is that?!

The trailer was produced by Two Edged Studios, which is run by the same awesome guy who did the beautiful cover art for Frostwalker. Give ’em a look – they do fantastic work.

The paperback edition will be along as well, likely releasing around the same time, at the end of March. However, there isn’t a preorder option for that via Amazon. If you’re like me and prefer your books tattooed on the corpses of trees, stay tuned. I’ll be sure to a...

A Man With A Gun – Coming Soon?!

As teased recently on my Facebook page, the cover art for A Man With A Gun is ready to go! In fact, not only that, but the preliminary formatting for publication is also underway and a proof is on order for final approvals. Pretty soon, the book will be available for pre-order – finally!





So, without further ado, have a gander at what my next novel release will be wearing out and about:





Dig them pulpy vibes!



This lovely bit of work comes by the blood, sweat, and tears of Nicholas May. Be...

Update – A Man With A Gun Edits

Just a bit of a minor update. If you follow my Facebook page, you probably know this already, but the manuscript for A Man With A Gun has already felt the pitiless lash of my wonderful editor, Pauline Nolet.

She’s already made one pass on it, reminding me in no uncertain terms that I really, really need to have an editor and that I simply have no idea how to properly use commas. I’ve made my pass in response, and the MS is back with her again for another round of strict corrective action.

I s...

Closing Out 2016 – What To Expect In 2017

So… 2016. That was something, wasn’t it? Some ups, some downs. But, all in all, it was certainly 366 days of, well, interesting events. But, enough about that. This post is about what I did in 2016 (or didn’t do) and what my plans are for the coming year.

To wrap up the past year, what have I got to look back on? Sadly, not a lot. Since I set out to “seriously pursue” this writing thing about five years ago, 2016 has got to be one of the absolute least productive years I’ve had. Just by sheer...

Starting 2016 With A Bang – Frostwalker Audiobook And 2015 Wrap-Up

So, it seems that all of the time left in 2015 has leaked out and now we’ve got a whole other year ahead of us. That went fast!

To kick off the new year, how about we start with a major announcement? After two and a half years since initial publication, the Frostwalker audiobook is almost here!

The audiobook will be narrated by the inimitable Jack Wallen. Many of you will know him, either through his own fiction, the numerous audiobooks he’s narrated, or possibly even from his stage career. P...

Update – August 2015 – Good, Bad, and Ugly

Those who follow me might have noticed that I’ve not been nearly as active on Facebook or anywhere else for the past month or so. In fact, while I thought I might be doing updates like this every month, the last “monthly update” was back in May. I’ve posted since then, but not a proper update on what’s going on with my writing. Still, I have at least posted various bits of interest over the past two months, so that’s not so bad, I guess.

So, what’s my current status? Dead in the water – for n...

Authors Input Wanted! Help An Up And Coming Developer Make The Tool You Need!

So, I’ve been talking with a couple of developers in recent months who are working on a new tool for authors to convert their manuscripts to ebook formats.

The basic premise of what the final product will do is this: Authors will upload their manuscript (in MS Word’s .docx format to start with). You then make adjustments, setting chapter breaks, setting up the various sections, and so on. Then, once you have it exactly how you want it, you download the ebook in whichever format(s) you need.

T...

Why You Will Probably Never Make A Living As An Author

A long, meandering post wherein I grind your dreams under my boot heel – and then lift you back up, maybe.

That’s a pretty grim headline isn’t it?After all, so many of us are chasing just that exact dream: Quit the day job and spend all day following ourimaginary friends around our fictional worlds – in between rounds of Candy Crush and Peggle, of course. Sitting in your underpants, swilling coffee and slinging words. What’s not to like?

It’s a pretty gutsy claim as well. Almost all of us kno...
