Back to work
Having spent most of my xmas break re-proofing "Gated", today is back to work day. "Gated" is still selling well and gratefully recieving good reviews on Amazon.
"Asylum" is progressing nicely with 8 of 13 short stories in the bag. The stories seem to be well received by my trusted band of guinea pig readers, thank you all as always.

new novel "Asylum"
7 short stories in the bag now for my fourth novel "Asylum" and the book is about half way done at just over 40,000 words.
The launching of my third novel "Gated" went well. A few thousand free downloads on launch weekend, and some decent sales to back it up, as well as some nice reviews.
Maybe this will be the one that catches, we can only dream.

another day, another start
Whilst awaiting opinions for my first draft of my third eBook novel "Gated" I am starting work on a new project today. I wanted to produce a werewolf novel and was torn (no pun intended) between an Agatha Christie type story prov called "The Beast who came to dinner" and a story about a busload of young offenders on a camping trip near a town called Harpers Mill prov called "Bitten". It will be interesting to see how the two ideas meld together and how the story unfolds to me as I write.

previewers wanted for horror/thriller ebook
I am looking for previewers for my third eBook novel "Gated". This novel is completed and requiring opinions before launching. The novel will be obviously free and limited in number, it is available in mobi or epub format.
British couple, Michael and Emily Torrence lived perfect lives, he was a writer of horror fiction getting paid for his hobby and Emily was immersed in her life as a teacher. Their world was complete when Emily fell pregnant and their family was set to be complete. Their dreams however, were shattered one wet winter night by a car mounting a pavement out of the darkness.
To overcome their loss, they up sticks and move to Eden Gardens, an ideal American gated community promising "Heaven on earth and twice as nice"
They find that the town and people are perfection personified. Their lives and faith are restored as they settle into Eden, but they are about to find out that when you sign a lease, you should always check the fine print.
