Could It Be? A New Website?!

Yes… yes it is!

It’s been a long time coming (and it’s still not 100% finished) but it’s here.  Hope you like it!

Don’t get me wrong, I loved the old site but given the direction my writing has been heading the focus of the site needed to change.  So, I hear you ask, what has changed?

Well it looks different for a start. But you noticed that, right? I’ve sidelined the old logo because every Tom, Dick & Harry is using the same font now and I’ve got a spanking new one right up at the top.  Go and have a look.  Don’t worry I’ll wait.

You’re back then? Nice isn’t it?

Another thing about the old design was that it was (and will continue to be) the style for the Defective Detective series. And these days I’ve been writing in a few different genres so it made sense to have a site that could frame not just that wonderful look but also incorporate these new styles.

The stories are gone. Kind of.

It was the mainstay of the site for years that I would regularly post short stories but two things changed. Firstly I’ve started to write longer stuff. No particular reason, just the mood I’ve been in. Unfortunately I’ve only got a small amount of time to write each day so I had to make a decision. That decision was – more novel, less short stories.

Secondly ebooks got invented and then really took off.  It wasn’t so long ago I designed the old site but in that time ebooks have changed how people are consuming even short fiction and I think it makes more sense to distribute everything through channels that are easier to access via an eReader.

So I’m going to collect all the fiction that was on the site (and some that appeared elsewhere or is new and unseen) and that is going to be anthologised in ‘Security Has Been Called’ which will be my next-but-one release.

Oh and don’t worry too much about the things that aren’t finished… it’s mostly cosmetic, everything works so either come back soon to see more things happening or sign up to the newsletter to become an official ‘Lounger’ and get the latest shoved straight into your inbox fortnightly.
