Update 22/10/13

I recently did a guest blog for my friends over at Dark Hall Press about the importance of editing. I thoughts some might be interested in reading it. you can check it out HERE. Let me know what you think about it.

In other news, im thrilled to see that WHISPER is still going really well and selling strongly on both sides of the Atlantic, rising as high as #3 on the paid best sellers list in the US, and #4 in the UK!!. The superb staff at Horrific Tales Publishing have to take credit for a superb promotional and marketing campaign. From the start, they had set out to increase my U.S profile, and have already gone to great lengths to do just that. the high chart position speaks volumes for the success they have achieved, and I look forward to continuing to work with them going forward.

Even though they are technically a small press, they have gone above and beyond to really push and promote the book, and in doing so have put many of the so-called ‘ bigger’ presses to shame. As I mentioned in my last blog, this is a subject that I intend to cover in the very near future, where I will show the difference between the author fleecing cowboys who are only out to make a quick profit from the author, to the companies that genuinely care about the quality of work they output, and invest the time, effort and financial resources to make sure it happens. It should be a good read, so look out for that one soon.

On the submissions front, had a couple of bites from Literary agents about the From The Deep manuscript that i have been shopping around. Nothing concrete yet, but definitely some positive movement. I really hope someone picks it up, as i truly think the story is my best work to date. 

Dont forget to check out the Dark Hall Press guest blog, and please feel free to leave a comment if you have any thoughts or feedback on this or any of my other blogs. I look forward to hearing from you.
