Auspicious beginnings
Six weeks out from the release of the e-book and Trade Paperback, and the big news is that my brilliant independent publishers, Constable & Robinson have been sold to Little, Brown. The reaction is a mixture of excitement and the fear of the unknown. Reassured by my wonderful editor, Krystyna Green, that all will be well, settle down interacting with interested parties left, right and centre.
It's been quite a ride: a wonderful review/preview from the king of action thrillers, Lee Child; actor Philip Glenister and author Brian McGilloway - and then a series of great crits from the users of lovereading.co.uk
My publisher is offering 25 free books to readers on goodreads so, hopefully, there'll be some more reviews to be seen in due course.
Meanwhile, preparations for various launches in London, Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Australia are all under way and invites from crime festivals come in too. There's even a nibble from a very reputable TV production company. Who knows what will happen next?
I hope you'll join me as my journey continues (and the second book is almost finished) Paul M

I see this is dated February 2014 and you're talking about the second book being almost finished. I just checked on Amazon and can't see any sign of number two. Is it still in the pipeline?

I'm really sorry that my Goodreads blog got lost in all the work. As I hope you know, book 2 - The Serpentine Road was published last year and the latest, book 3, The History of Blood was published this month. I do hope that you go on to read and enjoy them.
All the best.. Paul
Thanks for the reply, Paul; I've only just picked it up. I'll check out your second book, which I haven't caught up with. Glad to hear you've got a third in the pipeline. Well done!Mike
