  • Paperbacks Everywhere!

    Well, not quite everywhere. Just two places, actually. I have finished the brain-aching set up with a new printer, which means I can now offer Shadow of the Wraith for the low low price of £7.99/$12.10! Temple of the Sixth will follow at some point when my bank account has…

  • Writer’s Block Ego

    I wrote recently that the hardest thing about being a writer is not succumbing to the allure of the new book ideas that pop into your head pretty much daily. I think I was wrong. It is damn hard to have a lovely, shiny scene from an unrelated, as-yet unplanned…

  • Smashwords Formatting Guide

    EDIT: It’s 2024, so more than a decade later, although much of this information is still useable to create a clean file for Smashwords, things have changed, and I strongly recommend looking at more up to date guides as well. Ok, it’s not a clever title, but that’s what it…

  • The Next Generation

    I am going to talk (moan) about something completely unrelated to books – because I’ve never done that before… I want to talk briefly about next gen console gaming. The jump from Xbox to Xbox 360 was very exciting for me. The jump from Playstation 2 to PS3 not so…

  • Long Time No Somethingorother…

    I’ve been moving stuff for nearly two weeks, and not doing much else, so I’ve had very little to blog about. Not that I blog much anyway. But I thought I should update a bit. At the weekend, I took up another shipment of books to Waterstones. The manager had…

  • Try Kira For Free!

    Kira, my steampunk novella will be free on Smashwords for the rest of the week. It is available there for any e-reader, in a variety of formats. Even if you don’t particularly like steampunk, you won’t lose anything by trying it! And you might find you like my writing enough…

  • Witty & Clever Christmassy Title

    Yes, my post titles are getting worse. I think ten days was enough of a break. Now that Temple of the Sixth is out, I have started work on the third novel of the NEXUS series – with the working title of Rise of the Fallen. Yes, it appears every…

  • Temple of the Sixth

    The second book in the NEXUS science fantasy series is now available! I might even give a second exclamation mark to it -> ! Presently it is available for Kindle on Amazon (UK and US) and for all other E-formats on Smashwords. Over the coming days, it will become available…

  • A Quickie

    Let’s see how many people that title brings in! I haven’t posted for a while, so I thought I would make a quick one to update everyone. Shadow of the Wraith is now sitting on the shelves of both Eason in Derry and Waterstones in Coleraine (both Northern Ireland). Although…
