Win! Win! Win! (Win)

A few of us sci-fi authors have got together to share our work, and we figured what better way to do it than to give stuff away for free! If you want to get hold of some cool free sci-fi book goodness, head on over to scifibridge.com.

Happy New (York Deep) Year!

I hope you all had a great holiday! Remind me never to book a launch during the festive season again . . . the constant fretting made relaxing and enjoying the break pretty hard . . .!

Anyway, not to worry, because New York Deep has settled into a nice groove coming into 2017, and I wanted to thank you all for reading and reviewing it to help get it to where it is. Where it goes next, I don’t know, but I’m feeling positive about it. The launch so far has been more promising than Vessel’s, whi...

New York Deep is here!

My latest book, New York Deep, has now been published. You can get it on Amazon here.

Thank you all for getting involved and helping me produce this work. I hope you all enjoy it!

If you can get your friends and family to purchase and review it too, that would be amazing. The better it performs, the sooner I can write more books!

Fingers crossed!

New York Deep

That’s the title of my next book. New York Deep. It’s about a tunnel engineer called Josh Reed, who discovers a mysterious room beneath Central Park during the excavation of the East Side Access extension tunnels. The CIA get involved, there’s a whole conspiracy—it’s pretty cool. At least I think so anyway!

It’s launching on the 16th of December, and it’ll look like this:

But you guys don’t have to wait that long, because I want to extend an invitation to get hold of a free advanced reader c...

As Yet Untitled

As I type, I sit in wait of my agent’s opinion of my latest novel. I never realised it was possible to feel sick and excited at the same time before, especially not for this kind of duration. Occasionally I forget, but not for long, and the spike of adrena-nausea that follows is more than enough to make up for that brief respite.

What’s it about then? Can’t tell you for now. I want to. I want to post chapters and stuff like that, but if I do, I might as well put a bell around its neck and get...

Penny for your thoughts?

I hope you’re all enjoying New Dawn. I’d love to know what you think of it, good or bad. I rely on feedback from people like you to improve, so anything you can share would be massively appreciated.

I look forward to hearing from you.

The Curse of Writing

The following may come across as a little bit whiney, but I thought it might be an interesting insight into the mind of a writer. How does it feel to launch a book? Wait for reviews? Receive them? I’ll try and explain.

Over a year ago, I started writing New Dawn. I took time every weekend, about 5–10 hours, to sit down and write. Sometimes, especially towards the end, I’d write or edit in the evening after work. I’d say it was a labour of love, but it’s not really a labour at all. All that st...

Save the Cat!

With New Dawn doing its thing, it’s time to turn my attention to what’s next. For every book I’ve written so far, I’ve set myself a goal for improvement over the previous: with Noah’s Ark it was simply to write a whole book; with Vessel, it was to try and improve on scene setting and description; New Dawn was all about character building. Although far from perfect, I feel I’ve achieved—at the very least—an improvement in those areas, but there’s been one aspect that’s plagued my development u...

Yet Another Announcement!

While it’s a little too early to tell whether or not New Dawn is made of the right stuff, I would still like to thank you all for grabbing a copy—I hope it’s been worth the wait.

I’ve had a couple of positive reviews in so far (fingers crossed they stay positive!), so things are tentatively looking good. With promos dotted about overthe next few weeks, I’m itching to see whether or not the booktakes. Every review helps, so if you’ve left one or are planning to leave one, thank you for that as...

NEW DAWN is here!

Not everything goes to plan, and, well . . . New Dawn is now available to purchase from Amazon here!

I said it would be launched on the 16th, so I uploaded it today in the understanding that it would take a few days to clear the Amazon process—and it went live almost immediately! Oh well, it’s out there now . . .

It’s being launched at 99c/99p, so I’d be really grateful if you wouldn’t mind grabbing a copy. Even better, if you’ve enjoyed reading it on the blog, and enjoy the edited version to...
