Getting Butterflies in the stomach

So... my new book, Butterflies, has been released.

I was so nervous about this book, as it's not horror, it's not even a thriller, or a whodunit! It's a drama, and it's female led!!!

SHOCK AND HORROR (or not as the case maybe)

anyway, it didn't sell as many preorders than I was hoping, but then I didn't do as much publicity for it as I did for the other books, mostly because I was a little afraid that it wouldn't be taken to heart with my readership.

It turned out that I was wrong.

Its sold quite a few since release, and the reviews that I am getting are really favourable! It's mad, I'm even considering writing another drama like this one, and see where that goes!

Im also working on something else different at the moment. It's a low key thing that a mate of mine has asked me to do. He has some made tales to tell about his exploits with alcohol and narcotics... he wants to tell the tale, so I'm helping him along. We'll see how it goes. We have the first tale pretty much done, just waiting on more material.

Working my 9-5 at home is taking its toll, especially since I was burgled a few weeks ago and they took my car and TV... they also took two watches that weren't worth much, but had A LOT of sentimental value.

The plus side of it is that Lauren, my fiancé (she said yes) is now moving in at the end of November, so fingers crossed it will be a nice cozy Christmas... also, I managed to write down a structure of a horror novel, about... a burglary!!! Go figure!

TimeRipper is still with an agent, A Seagull's Tale is ready to go to edit, Mutant Superhero Zombie Killings Disco Cheerleaders from Outer Space (With Uzis) is in edit... and Christmas Carol - in rhyme audiobook is almost ready to launch (hopefully ACX will pull its finger out and we can get it out there...)

Thats all for now kids, stay safe, and if you want to join my mailing list (I'm putting one together) then please FOLLOW me on here and drop me a message!
