Mermaids On Tour
My mermaids are indeed on tour, with Orangeberry Tours. I’m taking Ocean’s Gift on a virtual book tour across the internet (despite how much I love flying) so you can catch a glimpse of my mermaids and occasionally me at the following places: 28th November – Book Feature at Peace from Pieces 29th November – Excerpt at Mommy […]

When Publishing Becomes a Nightmare
Today I had a blog post prepared with the announcement that Necessary Evil of Nathan Miller would be available in paperback tomorrow. I’m very sad to say that it won’t be. When managing a project as big as a book, there are so many steps and so many players involved, it’s like a very complex […]

From Safety to Screaming Nightmares
Two days to go and I have an unusual excerpt from Necessary Evil of Nathan Miller for you. Now, instead of you reading it, I’m going to recommend you listen to it on the video, with background footage I took up at Vlamingh Head in Western Australia. Of course, I’ll give you an excerpt of […]

I Don’t Feel Dead
Yes, I’m counting down the last three days until Necessary Evil of Nathan Miller is available in paperback. Today I have another excerpt for you: Chapter 2 “And now in breaking news, Caitlin Lockyer has been found. In the early hours of this morning, a man discovered her body dumped on a south-west beach.

Boobs Make Girls Useless – Seven #SexySnippets on #MySexySaturday
Walking home after a night of drinking beer and watching football, Joe stumbles across his sexy neighbour trying to fix her generator. Drunk or not, he’s particularly partial to the damsel in distress: “Can I help?” I offered. Vanessa crouched over the generator, a rusted hammer in her hand, as she said, “No, I’m going […]

Don’t Get Into Cars With Strangers
With only five days to go until Necessary Evil of Nathan Miller is available in paperback, I thought I’d give you a little taste of the first chapter: Chapter 1 Don’t get into cars with strangers. So stupid to think I was strong enough to resist. But I never dreamed it would happen to me. […]

I’ve Got It Covered
Book covers are incredibly important for catching the eye of someone looking to buy a book. People do judge a book by its cover, simply because there are so many covers and so many books. A boring cover could mean your book gets ignored in favour of one that’s more eye-catching. So there’s a lot […]

Need To Be Up Early for the Best Fish
The Ocean’s Gift series wouldn’t be complete without our hero, Joe Fisher. For those who don’t remember him (how could you forget?), here’s a character profile video I prepared earlier, which shows off his assets: With only two days to go before Ocean’s Infiltrator hits print, here’s another taste – of the delectable Joe Fisher: […]

Oops, I Forgot Underwear Again
With only three days to go, here’s another taste of Ocean’s Infiltrator - complete with a Harley and ducklings, but missing underwear. Chapter 2: Mother was mistaken, I know now. There is always duty, but occasionally pleasure is a part of it. Like now. I tried to focus purely on the speed, the feeling of air […]
