Nano update today: My crime thriller, Only Bloody Money, which I will describe as A Very British Nobody has now completed second draft, and it’s looking good. Thrillers are generally 80 – 100k, but this in only 77k. I could pad it out a bit more, but would rather keep it tight-on. Have fun, adventurers.

Got You Covered

Ken Dawson over at Creative Covers has come through with some draft ideas for the cover of Covenant, my verisimilitude-thick, vampire-action coagulated, urban fantasy that combines John Steakley with Mi5.

Antagonism
‘Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.’ – Reverend William Anderson Scott, Daniel, a model for Young Men. ‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.’ – Albert Einstein (Attrib, but multiple other origins proposed).

Schrodinger’s Book
It exists, but also not quite. Andy McNab meets Abraham Van Helsing in this (soon to be) Christmas Cracker. It should perhaps be considered like Die Hard: an action film set at Christmas, but I don’t know if that makes it a Christmas film?! I’ve been slaving away on this for a while now, and …
Getting Das Boot
Firstly, we’ve had a couple of new subscribers. Hello fellow adventurers! Now, to the meat of this post. I’m no film critic, nor script genie, but I am a storyteller, and I recently watched The Making of Das Boot (the movie one, as there was a TV program as well). I was astounded they actually …

Well, I have several different flavours of escapism for you. Something warm with a dash of sharp: My first middle-grade book, …

Write or Wrong
Just a quick update to keep this pot boiling – have now completed the final polish and now it’s just a quick sweep over the book to make sure everything is in order and packaged up for KDP. Release looks like it will be Saturday sometime, but Amazon do say that it may take up …
Boulder’s Edge
Peeking around the edge of the boulder now. The weekend draws near, and I just wanted to get a few quick posts out before the final launch of War Mages: Sharpshooter. Am currently buffing the last layer of polish and hoping it smooths everything out. It’s easy going, which is good, as that means there’s …
