Firstly, thank you to everyone who has purchased my books over the past week, I appreciate it a great deal and I hope you enjoy them. As seems to always be the case, there’s a formatting error in there, which I corrected immediately upon discovery. Kindle E-books should be updated by clearing the download from …

Changing Track
Something a bit different from me today, just to prove I’m not a one-note wonder. I’ve just finished watching Mel Gibson in ‘The Fatman‘ (2020) and it’s incredibly dark, but I have to admit to liking it. Bear with me whilst I explain – I’m not a movie critic, but I wanted to share my …
Season’s Treatings
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, …
…Company will Advance!
It’s almost Dawn here in Britain, or as they’d say in the Trenches: Seven-oh-five Ac.emma. (7.05 am) War mages: Sharpshooter has been submitted to Amazon. I’ll put another post up with the links as soon as they become available. I just want to take this (very early) opportunity to thank everyone involved, my friends and …
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 …
More Mages
As promised! The thick wall they’d just vaulted was a difficult climb, but not insurmountable. Looking at it from this side wasn’t so rosy. Archer saw it was a mess of scorched and pock-marked brick. At the base, buttressed with thick footings, stark pieces of bone were strewn amongst the assorted debris. A cracked, jawless …
Scorch Dearth
Sounds like a Napalm Death album. I write with reference to my on-off, on-off love/hate affair with my Vampire Urban Thriller The Covenant. Last week I tore it to shreds, scrapping a 70,000-word bowl of utter dog water, down to something I could work with. I had just over 10,000 words left. Killing your darlings …
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 …
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 …
