If a person is not talented enough to be a novelist, not smart enough to be a lawyer, and his hands are too shaky to perform operations, he becomes a journalist. Norman Mailer I’m beginning to think a career change may be in order. Apologies for the radio silence, but I’ve been busy been ill …

Not Dead Yet
Non Covid cold and flu for three weeks – or at least the swizzle-sticks are telling me that. Am finding it hard to write or work with a lot going on at the moment. The cold has brought out other long-term complaints too, so I’m walking around with a bellyful of Fed Up. However… With …
Losing Purchase
Thankfully, this is not a post about holding on, although God knows, I need to. Changes in my non-author life are making waves again, but that’s just how it is. Onwards. I saw a post or blog, or note somewhere a little while ago, and with the launch of the Knitted Knomes, the thought came …
Heavin’ Up The Boulder
Just a quickie! Well I am glad to report a couple of copies of The Knitted Knomes have gone out! This is great, as hopefully there will be a small trickle of interest which leads to a review or two 🙂 The wicked rest not, I am still working on War Mages, and we’re now …
Cast On, Cast Off
Hello everyone, just to let you all officially know that The Knitted Knomes is now available in the Kindle Store in both E-book and paperback format. At 220 pages of woolly derring-do, why don’t you go and check it out? Have a great day Adventurers! 🙂
Launch Imminent
The Knitted Knomes cover has been finalised, and the Kindle MS is undergoing a thorough poking to see what, if anything is wrong with it. As an Indie Author, I’m (mostly) responsible for proofing the product, and I do my best to eliminate the problems, but it seems there is always one that sneaks through. …
Here’s Booking at You, Kids
Ken, my long-suffering cover designer has come back to me with several prototypes for my new Kids’ book. Although I hoped to have it out for Christmas (Indie Authors can turnaround fast) it didn’t happen that way. I also trawled it in front of fourteen Agents and two publishers, but no dice. Not meant to …
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
There’s a lot of people to thank, and I can’t get a box of chocolates to everyone, so please accept my gratitude..! Just a thank you to all my fellow adventurers, whether you’re bloggers, readers, or hard working folks stopping by, thank you all for your contributions this year, because you give something very precious: …
Christmas Cracker
Or how to write a book and get it published at Christmas, be challenged by other writers with more clout, and get lost in an avalanche or cavalcade of books not about Christmas. (Don’t get me started on “Christmas Songs” or we’ll be here all week). My Middle-grade book, now being pitched at 10-12 year …
All Quiet on the Front
Apologies to all the Adventurers for my absence from the blogosphere, I have been very busy. A quick update then! I have prepared another book for launch, a Middle Grade book I’m fairly happy with, just a question of putting it out for Christmas or not…most popular authors will be competing for the top spot …
