I was walking the dogs this past Saturday, and feeling triumphant having finally managed to get more words upon a page. So I thought I’d film a little video update (see below). I think I might it a regular thing because a) it’s social pressure to actually write, b) it’s a fun way to update […]

I don’t know if there was ever a time I wasn’t creating stories. I also don’t think there was a time when I wasn’t longingly dreaming of farming. Whilst being a writer was only a mere notion (I mean, MOST kids get creative with stories at some point), farming is in my family’s blood. Though I didn’t […]

Numbers, figures, sales, sub-totals, costs, profit margins – they’re all an essential part of business. As self-publishers it’s vital to keep an eye on these things. And as any indie author knows, those KDP graphs and publishing interfaces can be extremely alluring, especially when things are on the up. But what happens when there’s downwards […]

Tarmachan is here! It’s been a ‘journey’ in getting the cover artwork done but the fantastic Steven, at Novak Illustration came up trumps and produced something that captured everything I wished for. As is increasingly becoming the norm, Amazon had Tarmachan up in no time – including the ‘Look Inside’. So, without further ado, here’s […]

Though I might have finished writing Tarmachan (Book 1 of the Gathin Chronicles) last month, before any major editing takes place, I sent it out to a couple of betas. I’ll be honest – I rarely use betas. For an established series, CRYO or RENOVO, for example, the characters have already been created, and the […]

I’m utterly thrilled to report that Tarmachan – Book One of The Gathin Chronicles is complete! Well, the first draft anyway. It took a little more effort than I originally anticipated because a) it’s 10,000 words longer than expected and b) I ran out of steam during the past few days and couldn’t get those […]

Well, it’s been a week since RENOVO Symbiosis arrived and though I ran a 24 hour price deal for the new title, it’s now back to its normal price of $2.99. BUT – I thought it only fair to give new readers to the series a little perk; hence the new 99c price point. I’m […]

As subscribers to my newsletter know – RENOVO Symbiosis is here! I’m running a special launch price of 99c for the FIRST 24 HOURS ONLY (which actually runs out in about eight hours

It’s February, and if you’ve already finished all those new books you bought at Christmas, then I have some good news; this weekend there’s over 100 Fantasy and SciFi books costing no more than 99c! Patty Jansen’s monthly promo has become a go-to place. There are space operas, boxed sets, fantasy novels and paranormal romances […]

Yes, I am thrilled to report that the first draft for RENOVO: Symbiosis has now been given a once over and has been sent off to the editor. That means, with clear days and a spot of luck, it should be ready for publication in the second week of February! Now it’s time for the […]
