A Life in the Day of an Author Nov 12th

November 12th

Well, so much for sticking to a daily blog?

The last few days have been filled with promotion work, and wrestling with Book 2 in The Stobes Trilogy - The Assassinator.

This second book is proving extremely hard work, and to be honest, I'm dreading 'the difficult third album' The Exodus.

Still, no one ever said this writing lark was easy.

It doesn't help that I have a fourth book - Peter Panic and the Book of Dreams - running around my head at the moment too, and being a male, multi-tasking is not something with which I have a strong affinity.

Like all jobs, being an author - even a relatively unknown one - has routines. Of course, without a formal structure or anyone telling you what to do, it's very easy to get sidetracked by a whole variety of things, from social media to the ongoing feud with the neighbour's cat and his stubborn refusal to not use our garden as his litter tray.

I've organised a couple of Kindle Countdown Deals on Amazon, where you can buy The Time Table for just £0,99 ($0.99 in the US) for 3 days only. The UK promo starts on 14th Nov, and the US on 27th Nov. Well, if you can't do a bit of self promotion on your own blog, what's the world coming too?

So now it's back to the writing accompanied by some Del Amitri, Beatles and Kings of Leon.
