Secret Reveal...

So for the first time ever, I know what my next 4 releases are going to be... because I'm writing them all at the same time. But one which may draw excitement from fans, not only has it's cover and 20k words written, but I'm also plotting the follow-up as I go.

And the reason this is not the big news?

Well that's because the big news is those books return to a universe that has been very good to me, Read more of this blog post »

This was a really good short story. The intrigue of one old adventurer having one last go at it made me picture the MMC as Harrison Ford in his stubborn but comedic ways. I saw the twist coming but it made it no less enjoyable. Brilliant quick read.

Very good ghost story, loved the different take on hauntings and how ghosts come to be created. Also blending with history of WWII makes the whole story hold an atmosphere designed to make you uncomfortable and reflective. Great job.
