Bits and Pieces (a kind-of update)
First things first: if you’re one of the 84 people who read one of my books in November, then thank you very much. Do please leave a review if you have the time; good, bad or ugly it doesn’t matter, because honest reviews are the ones that can pull in more readers. And just to make the point that I appreciate all kinds of reviews, here’s my publicist, Bridget, to explain:

Only yesterday, a fellow gave Repulse quite a critical three-star review on Amazon in the UK, and Bridget informs me he didn’t get very far when she found him, and he went down rather well.
In other news, for the last few weeks I’ve been lost in editing hell as I finally got Dystopia Descending up to the standard it needs to be. If I’m lucky, I’ll never have to read the bloody thing again. Today, I posted signed paperback copies to my group of VIPs (including you Daz, Audrey and KD) in the hope their bookshelves might finally collapse under the weight of my witterings. Just a reminder that the e-version is already available for pre-order at the ridiculously low price of $2.99 or equivalent, in the US here, the UK here, Canada here, and Australia here. The e-book goes live in two weeks on Saturday 16 December, but if you can’t wait till then, the paperback is already available here, although it costs a comparative fortune.
This is really starting to sound like a marketing post, isn’t it? Sorry about that. One thing I do at this time of the year, every year, and which has also kept me busy the last few weeks, is make a calendar. Exchanging Christmas gifts with family members in a different country can be quite frustrating, so several years ago I hit on the idea of doing a calendar from the best photos I took throughout the year, and as it happened 2017 turned out to be a very good year for my camera. So much so, that I had to leave off the calendar a few photos which I’ve decided to post here so my family can see what missed this year’s Christmas present.
Right, now it’s time to get back to writing… Oh, wait, look, it’s the UK Snooker Championships! Yummy…
