Paperback Writerrr...
Hi everyone!
I haven't posted a blog update in a couple of weeks, so I thought I'd bring you up to speed on what's been going on. The biggest news is that Lonely Worlds is out on paperback! It's very, very exciting to have an actual copy in my hands, and if you want one too, you can get one here.
Otherwise, the weekly updates have still been ticking along, with "The Real Me" and "The Thing in the Crater" making their way to the Stories section of my website. They're both short but fun tales that I wrote for a New Year's Eve competition, and I thought you might find them interesting to read. Next week, I'll be uploading Chapter Two of No Ordinary Librarian, which will be replacing Lonely Worlds as a weekly serial. In case you haven't read Chapter One, it's a time-travel story about a group of Librarians who safeguard the universe's natural timeline, and it should be a lot of fun.
Also, I've been exploring the idea of a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style piece of interactive fiction. Is that something any of you would be interested in? What do you think would be the best platform to make and release it through? Let me know on the Facebook Page!
See you next Wednesday!

Lonely Worlds - Now On Kindle!
So, the title says it all, really. Lonely Worlds has hit Amazon, where you can download it on Kindle for the price of £0.99, which is as low as Amazon would let me set the price! Don't panic, though - it's still available for free on Wattpad, so I'd be absolutely delighted if you could check it out on either site - and if you could drop me a bit of feedback, either good or bad, I'd really, really appreciate it.
If you'd rather have an actual, physical book to hold, smell and put on your shelf, then hang tight - the paperback version will be along as soon as I've had a chance to look over the proof copy, which I anticipate will be early next week. Much excite!
In other news, I finally have a title for the new novel coming later this year-ish. It's called "The Story Breaker." It's very close to my heart, and I can't wait to share it with you. In fact, I'm so eager that I've included an exclusive sample chapter at the end of the Kindle and paperback versions of Lonely Worlds. I'd simply love to hear your thoughts on it on the Facebook Page.
