How's the Serenity?
Hi all. Karma is a funny thing right? Good intentions and good deeds give good karma and happiness. Bad intentions and bad deeds lead to unhappiness. So just keep the karma battery charged and all is well!
2017 was a funny year as far as the writing karma goes. I must have been doing something right because I won an Indie writing prize, and then signed with an agent to see if I could get a publishing contract with a traditional publisher for the Charlie Jones series.
My agent advised I should disappear from the internet if possible as the publishing industry is not excited about signing Indie authors. So I did (which is why you haven't seen a post here for a year!). After a year of that, we got nary a bite from a publisher so I am back as an Indie writer again! Is that good or bad karma? Only time will tell.
Probably it was good, because it wasn't a wasted year. While my agent was pitching the Charlie Jones series, I had plenty of time with nothing to do but WRITE! And so in 2017 I completed the first drafts of a sequel to The Vanirim (now in final proof stage), PLUS two new mystery novels, half a new Charlie Jones novel and over Dec-Jan 2017-18 a new techno thriller. YAY!
So 2018 is going to be a busy year as I get back into publishing again. I put my titles up again in mid Feb, have sold 165 books since then ('Bless Me Father', formerly published as 'Cloister' was at number 5,249 out of 1.5 million books on Amazon last night) - so we are off to a good re-start! YAY!
Last year I donated the sales of my books to Medicins Sans Frontiers. This year I will be donating to Plan International - more on that later. I'm hoping my good friends who have supported me before will do so again in 2018.
So now you will find the books here:

In coming weeks I will be posting extracts from the sequel to The Vanirim, cover art options, launch updates and getting ready to host the launch eBook giveaway so stay tuned!
