The festive season is usually reserved for the pursuit of cheer and happiness with good friends and family, but sometimes, when they drive you mad, you just want to escape into a different world. Well, I have several different flavours of escapism for you. Something warm with a dash of sharp: My first middle-grade book, …

Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick? No.
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 …

Quick PSA
An attack of the Booklins(TM) (another Arronism…) has occurred, and a formatting error with my book has been identified. I have now corrected this, and new versions of The Ares Gambit will be available in e-book, paper and hardcover in 72-ish hours. If you’ve bought the e-book, it will update automatically. Thanks for your patience …
Up Down Under
It’s interesting to watch what happens after I launch a book, because when you sell a couple of copies, it’s very reassuring – but it’s also sometimes surprising. I’ve shipped three (Edit: I just checked – four!) copies of the e-book, (not bad) and whilst two of these have been Domestic purchases (Great Britain) one …
Adventure Awaits
The Ares Gambit is out on Kindle/Paperback now! I use Amazon.co.uk as my main storefront, probably not the wisest move, as most marketing stuff only works for US storefront, but hey-ho, I never seem to do things the easy way! Anyway, you can get it here (UK) or here (US)! Have a good day Adventurers! …

Cover Me (Part 4)
Here we go again! Proposed Back Cover for The Ares Gambit. Complete with blurb, although that’s not in final finished format yet, as some last minute editing has been done to make the writing tighter. Props to my very patient and clever cover man Ken, as always. Bloody legend mate. A quick note about him …
Cover Me (Part 3)
This is the proposed cover for my Military Sci-fi novel (some would call “Epic” since it’s over 110,000 words) The Ares Gambit. What do you all think? Ken, over at Creative Covers is the wizard behind this, and I have some ideas for the back cover to tie everything in, but any opinions are welcome! …
Bookends
The fabulous Ken over at Creative Covers has now been hired. Ares Gambit should have its cover very shortly. On another note, I’ve been mulling Taglines for it – the book has strong chess theme, complete with scheming, duplicity and hidden agendas and not very nice people! I’ve settled on this for now (all in …
