The Covert Academy reached #78 Overall and #1 SciFi Adventure on Amazon in the last freebie sale.
Fantastic to see so many people interested in reading it, thank you!
Double thanks to those who took the extra time to write a review.
I'll be writing Book 2 full-time over the next few months, which means writing these blog posts less often.
You can still follow what I'm up to on the Twitter machine, I'm @petes117.
Say hi and I'll follow back :)
Cheers,

The State of my Writing
Far past time I wrote a new blog post here!
I recently published The Covert Academy through Smashwords, finally taking down the three separated versions (Recruitment Drive, Freshman, and Graduation Day) to make room for the original complete one.
At first I put it up for free, but since changed it to $0.99 after a week or so, but now Amazon has caught on and price matched it to free as well!
I have no way to confirm this, since living in New Zealand means that Amazon's regional pricing still shows the price as $1.00, which is somewhat frustrating. I might need to invest in a VPN.
On a positive note, The Covert Academy shot back up the charts as a freebie to the Top 10 in all its subcategories! Woohoo! Thanks everyone, I hope you enjoy the read!
As for my next book, while I blitzed through the first draft to finish before Christmas 2013, I have not done much editing since then (around 1/3 of the way through the 2nd edit).
This is because I'm constantly on the job hunt at the moment. So if anyone wants to give me a grant to finish the sequel to The Covert Academy, you're more than welcome haha!
I've got a few tricks up my sleeve as far as my money problems are concerned, so hopefully I will be able to get back to writing very soon!
Stay tuned,
