Book-a-Brac

Just a quick reminder that my most recent title, The Covenant is 50% off in the UK Kindle Store from today until 08 May, and the promotion will be also available in the US Kindle Store from 03 May, to 09 May. Most of my other titles are now also in Kindle Unlimited, so if …

Deuteragony

Deuteragonist: deu·ter·ag·on·istnoun: the person second in importanceto the protagonist in a drama. Oxford Language Dictionary The Covenant is a bit special for me, since it features the two halves of the same coin: the first POV and character of the protagonist (Robert Knight), is joined by what essentially is a second protagonist who is supposedly …

Dusk Before Dawn

“Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise.” Victor Hugo So what does Covenant have that others don’t? If you’ve read my previous post, you’ll understand what I aspire to with this novel, standing at circa 100,000 words – a foray into a parallel, mostly hidden society of immortal bloodsuckers who co-habit …

Snapshot

Sharpshooter has come back from Magic Pencil, and I’m pleased to say there wasn’t much to do with it, thankfully, and only a few comments! 🙂 So, I’m grinding that, and Covenant at the same time, because you know; fun never stops. Well, that’s it Adventurers – hope you have a great day. 🙂

Know when to Fold

Some projects just aren’t going to take off, but I’m hoping this blog post isn’t going to be prophetic. I’m not quitting writing by the way – just having to put the brakes on a few things. Firstly, Covenant. It’s not working, and I have fallen out of interest with it. This does happen and …

Flying Free

Just to let everyone know that, if you missed it, Wings of Azhov will be free on the Kindle Store all week this week starting on Monday 06/01/2020 (weird to write 2020 like that for the first time!) until Friday 10/01/2020. You can find it HERE. It’s probably the better of the trilogy plot-wise to …

Perspective Matters

Happy New Year everyone 🙂 Beware: Rambling wall of text incoming! My Vampire action novel, The Covenant is kicking my backside. The reason for this is that it’s old, so I’m overhauling it and have pared it back from 60,000 words to about 20,000 so far. Unfortunately, because I am a witless hack, I wrote …

Hit it.

So, am waiting to hear back from my Editor and my Cover designer (the book is done and on Amazon to protect the IP) I’m going to be like that gunfighter and take on the next guy in the street. I’ve been plagued with nightmares recently and all of them involve explosions, so I’m going …

Cracking On

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” William Faulkner This quote is great for several reasons. The first is that it’s true, the second is I’m writing a book about a Naval Clearance Diver and thirdly he’s called Scott Faulkner. You couldn’t make it up. Ah. …

Can’t Give It Away

Just a quick note to anyone who missed it the first time around – as of Midnight on Sunday 29/09/2019, Warlord of Azhov will be free to purchase in the Kindle Store until Midnight on Thursday 03/10/2019. As always, if you like it, I would encourage you to give me feedback as it’s how I …
