Hi everyone. It's almost one year to the day that my first fiction book was released. Over the last twelve months, I have had reviews and comments from some of you, support from all of you. Others hosted my books on their blog. It takes time to do that, so I am grateful to you. Others still would take time to post a review and then private message me with their thoughts.

Some of you have become not just a support to me, but great friends as well. I would be happy to count you amongst my real friends, because I believe your support has extended beyond the book reading.

Some of you will know of the difficulties I have had in the last six months or so. For your support and counsel, I'm very appreciative.

Inbetween the release of the first fiction book, Dark Winter: The Wicca Circle, I released the fantasy epic Stormling and today, the paperback of Dark Winter: Crescent Moon, has landed on Amazon.

But here's some other stats about the last six months:-

Ice bucket challenge - 1
Cups of tea 2,160
Nights out getting hammered - 2 (cheers Jonathan Bradbury)
Martial arts lessons taught - 338
Knock downs on students - 33
Knock OUTS - 1 (sorry kid, it was either you or me)
Movies watched - 2
Days out ghost hunting - 3
Books read - 23
Words written 147,000 (near enough approx!)

Happy October 1st! The season of the witch is finally here!
