I write dark urban fantasy about outsiders, monsters, mystery and just a bit of action. 'Blood in the Dust' is my debut novel, the first in the Yip Jones Adventures series, and the first in the greater world of The Slipworld Chronicles.

Author Thoughts

Writing a book is hard work. It's even harder to publish (and market etc!) on your own.

If you publish the traditional way, you have the publishing house's editors, marketing team, and the weight of their reputation opening doors and getting your book out there.

Indie/self-published authors don't have that advantage.

Do we do it because our books aren't 'good enough' for trad publishing?
