I loved writing Rushe and Flick in Explicit Instruction and I was overwhelmed by how well they were received. Readers really […]

Nice to meet you…

Nice to meet you…

What’s the most important part of any fiction novel? The genre? Location? Style? Maybe the premise? Not in my opinion.

Let’s get serious

Let’s get serious

I should say up front that this isn’t a typical post. So if you’re looking for novel or publishing information this isn’t […]

Pre-order has arrived…

Pre-order has arrived…

For all the media coverage, both positive and negative, that Amazon has had over recent weeks, months… years. We indie authors do have a lot to thank them for. We work hard to provide the best product that we can but Amazon allow us to reach an audience far further ranging than we could on […]
