Jonathan Peace's Blog

I've got to admit, I'm pretty surprised. Shocked even. Over 300 views this month alone, people coming every day to see if I've posted anything. Over 2200 views altogether since I created this site and then basically never used it. So as the title says, I suppose I better start using this thing.

Trouble is, I'm not sure what to post about. In fact, it's worse than that: I'm not sure what to write about, and from there stems the paralysis. It started a few years ago when I began the fourth crime no...

Just a quick update to let you know that the Louise Miller books are now available to read in Kindle Unlimited. After a few months “wide” I decided that it would be better to offer the books via Kindle Unlimited as that is how most readers get their books these days - it’s something like 70%.

WHEREVER YOU BUY YOUR BOOKSYou can read more about this over on my Substack:

Well, to put it simply, launching an indie-author career is tough and you have to look for every opportunity to bring in a little extra income while you work on the next book. I currently have a day job, selling toy soldiers to hobby stores. It's a job I love after being in the toy soldier industry in one aspect or another for over 30 years.

 I've decided to bring this release forward 2 months, and release books 2 and 3 in eBook together on May 30th. It seemed like a very long time to wait, and it gives people more time to read all three books before the fourth is out in November.

The paperbacks will still release on September 27th.

After a lot of work, the covers have now been locked in. As you can see there are quite a few changes from the previous version.

The border around the back cover is gone, meaning when it is printed it will fill the page entirely.The spine colour matches the main cover, as does the quote text on the back cover.The back cover image is light enough to see while still allow text to be placed over.The spine text colours match the cover and are a consistent size across all books."a Louise Miller novel"...
