I spent years thinking I wasn't good enough to write a book, that I needed to be highly educated to write a story.

Don't let anybody put you off. If you have an idea of a story, just go ahead and write. Hopefully it grow into something.

Oracle's Vision - Mirror Wars Book 2

I had planned on releasing Oracle's Vision, the next book in my Mirror Wars series, on 1st January 2024. I wanted to my readers to have a chance of pre-ordering. People seem to be able to do that okay with the kindle version but for the physical copy, KDP won't allow me to set it as pre-order.

So as an early Christmas present to my readers, I have decided to make the paperback edition of Oracle's Read more of this blog post »
