OK,Just to let you know, I have a Goodreads giveaway going on at the minute. Seven copies of Flux are up for grabs.

The Bert incident is AWESOME! just thought I'd say :)
hahaha, reading it then?Thank you,
So much of it is awesome Lorraine. I found it very dark and thought provoking yet funny at the same time. The friends' relationship was so true. (And I've never been a young man!)
Yes Mark, I've been delayed in starting and I am going to be busy the next few days, but yes I'm reading it.... Did you think I wouldn't ?
I'm always pleasantly surprised when people do. :)
Glad to be making you happy then, but really it's totally my pleasure, especially when there's sick horrible stuff going on ooooh yeah !
Lol, my timing totally sucks... Breakfast time, I get to read what happened with the woman's and the spider in the dream, dinner time I get to read all about Bertie in the toilets !!!

Lucky for me I was on the bus, not in front of a meal.
:) lol. I'm keeping quiet until you've finished.
I take it I'd better not continue with that habit of reading while eating...
I'm trying to remember now. I think you should be OK.
think? Nah it doesn't matter really, it's a bit of a laugh, I get to read an excerpt to hubby and enjoy seeing his disgusted face lol !

I'm allowed to dream...
The world can be small sometimes, you never know !You should get some paperbacks for sale in your local Waterstones, that might help :)
10% until the end, and I just don't want to read the end... I have the feeling I'm going to cry my eyes out. Whatdoidowhatdoidowhatdoido....
That's quite a compliment, I think.
It is, Mark. When I like things I never want them to end...
I finished Flux last night and loved it.I felt like it was kind of like an Anti-Tollesbury Times.
Thank you. I'm still to read Tollesbury times but have heard very good things about it. It's on my Kindle waiting to be read so I will soon. Thanks for reminding me.
Anyway. I'm glad you liked it.
Very much so. I shall write a review later today.
My sister-in-law is reading Flux as her second kindle book. She says she's loving it. I wasn't sure she'd get on with Bert :D
Only just noticed this post. Thank you for recommending my book :)
Sorry I've not been posting much lately. I've been trying to get the new book written. Good news is that it's going well and I reckon I'm about 2/3rds of the way there.I'm also thinking about having a kindle freebie for Flux over Halloween.
I'm really pleased that you're getting there with the new book Mark. I did seriously enjoy Flux. http://www.ignitebooks.blogspot.co.uk...
Review!
Wow, thank you, and nice blog.
I'd like to think you'll be there again with the next book!
I've just asked this on FB too but if you've read Flux, what's your favourite scene. I'm trying to get a submission together for a publisher and it's something they've asked.Thanks
Strangely, as it's not one of the crucial scenes it's the one where he sees the gargoyle moving. Doesn't it come to sit outside the pub he's in - or did I dream that - it was a long while ago that I read it!I also found the one where he shoved all the stuff in the bath memorable - and the one with Bert yokking over his bed - how many favourite scenes can I have? ;)
I've forgotten half of it myself and I wrote it. It did come to sit outside the pub. Well remembered.
That quite creeped me out!
Bit of an update.I don't think the next book will be ready until mid 2013, and am aiming for the first draft to be finished by Christmas. It would have been sooner but I think I've scrapped around 50,000 words because I didn't like where the story was going. I'd rather it be right, I want to make this one as good as I can.
I finished the first draft today. Very happy. Now to dissapear into the world of re-writing for a bit.It's a very different book to Flux, even my writing style has changed, I think. It's still very much in the Horror vein but with an element of fantasy. Essentially, it's a story of possesion (of the supernatural kind) and lust for revenge.
Lots of hard work needed now to hopefully make it good!
Oooh, sounds interesting! I think people's style does change a bit from book to book. You can often see it mature and gain in confidence. Off you go and do that hard work!
I'm rubbish with remembering the minutiae of stories.But when I've read a book I've really enjoyed, I remember the overall feeling of reading it. Flux was one of those. If I didn't have a monstrous tbr list, I might read it again. But I'm not sure I want to as it was the freshness that made it so good.
hehe, I've put you on my "list", I'll be contacting you shortly ;p
Brilliant. Thanks.Having a small tot of rum in my coffee to celebrate.
I thought I had deleted that post... Odd. Just liked the idea of rum in coffee and was going to offer my Kraken, then changed my mind.
