SPFBO News

So SPFBO is now into its second phase and I am sorry to say A Ritual of Bone did not progress to the finals.
My judge really didn't enjoy the gore and the horror element of the Dead Sagas (apparently grossed her out) and did not score it highly - can't please everyone unfortunately. Which is a shame because some of the other reviews have been really positive.
I still take it as a win that the writing was good enough to ellicit such a powerful emotional response from my judge, but it also highlighted some things I need to improve in the future on the editing side.

So I'm out of SPFBO 2018,
but nonetheless, I learnt alot, I met and befriended many great new people and really enjoyed the experience.
One big thing is it has given me the knowledge to massively up my game in the field of self-publishing (hence the new edition) which will deliver a much higher quality of book in the future, better covers, better editing, better everything hopefully.


What's next?

I am currently working on a BA degree in English Literature and Creative writing which I hope will improve the standard of my writing.

As mentioned the new edition of A Ritual of Bone will be released this year

Also the next book in The Dead Sagas series is nearly written and is entitled A Ritual of Flesh. I hope to have it finished before the summer and possibly released by the end of 2019, so we will see how that goes

Thats it for now. Thanks to you all for your continued support.
Thanks for reading
