Hammered out a goodly few words for Only Bloody Money. It’s now at 50k and rising, so it’s well on track to hit 55-60k, which will, on second revision work up to about 70-90k. We’ve just had the climax and now it’s just a bit of mop up and the epilogue. The end was good …

Thanks!
This was going to be a huge ramble, but I thought coming to the point and adding an update would be less gruelling for my fellow Adventurers! Thank you to whoever bought my book (Children of The Glyph) in the past few days – I really appreciate it and I am always grateful to the …
Crash Out
On the anniversary of this blog of all days! I had to leave twitter for reasons I won’t go into, but I thought I’d pop up a quick message for anyone who catches me here to let them know I didn’t want to leave, but there were several issues that made the decision for me …
Networthking
A quick hello to a handful of new adventurers to the blog – I welcome you! Pull up a chair and huddle round the campfire, for the stars are out, the moon hangs in the night like a silver coin and the toll is paid for tales of danger, derring-do and shenanigans! Another apology I’m …
Long Story Short
If you’re going to try for traditional publishing, you need to try and snag an Agent. I am primarily an Indie author, and this can cause a bit of trouble, because if you go to an Agent they can be left unimpressed – and with good reason. However, even with my heart in my mouth …
Filler Inner
Saw a discussion crop up on twitter as I was fiddling with my profile page there – do not worry, fellow adventurers, this blog is my primary channel as I can get more wordspace here to discuss the meanderings from my Chaises-longues! To the point of the post – a writer was asking others in …

Tighten Up
Got the Blurb for The Ares Gambit into shape. It sits at 150 exactly. That’s bingo from where I’m sitting. Just a couple of tweaks here and there… 3025. The Protectorate is on the brink of economic collapse. In this fractious time, Captain Sean Egan is a disgraced soldier, chasing pirates out on the fringes …
All in the Blurb
A Blurb is not a synopsis! However, the one below is more of a condensed synopsis than anything else. The best blurbs are about 150 words long (I have mentioned this before, so apologies to the long-term followers – but hello to the new ones! We’re growing all the time! 🙂 ) and what follows …
Next!
Rebellion of Mars has been finished to Second Draft and it’s ready for light Author Editing, some spit and polish, (mainly to clean the sweat and tears off) and it can go to Proof and Copyedit stage. At least that’s what I call Second Draft. It’s topped 105,000 words and it’s tighter than it was …
