  • Kira

    Kira is the 23-year-old title character who takes us through twenty four hours of her life in my new steampunk short story. She lost her home and her family fifteen years ago to a brutal organisation known as the Government, and now etches out a meagre existence in another small…

  • 60% Celebratory Discount

    Well, I have now published Shadow of the Wraith on Smashwords (here). It hasn’t gone entirely smoothly, as I left out the simple words ‘Smashwords Edition’, meaning that it can’t yet be sent to places like B&N and Apple, etc. And because I’m not at home for a while, I’m…

  • Free For The Last Time

    Shadow of the Wraith is free again today, tomorrow and Monday. It will be the last time it’s free, as I won’t be enrolling in Select for a second time. So get it now! Or…wait and buy it later. I don’t mind. ‘Harrison expertly throws curve balls at the reader…’…

  • America’s Stealing Your Money!!

    Well…the IRS is stealing 30% of your royalties if you’re a non-American self-published author selling books anywhere they deem to be ‘America’. But the title got your attention! Unfortunately, the American government forces Amazon.com, for example, to withhold 30% of any royalties made there for tax. Yes, even though you…

  • Steampunk

    I’ve finally thought of something else to blog about! I was asked a while ago to write a short steampunk story, with a 10,000 word limit, for an anthology. It was very nice to be asked – especially when I saw some of the other writers who’d be doing it.…

  • It…Ends!

    Like the end of the world, come December. But with less violence, looting and I told you so’s. The final stop on the tour is Tea and Text. I admit, I was a little concerned about today’s review, as it was the only one that I hadn’t seen ahead of…

  • It…Continues!

    Today is day three of the mini-tour, and I’m at Sammy HK Smith’s blog for another interview and a review from guest blogger, David Muir. He gives Shadow of the Wraith 9 stars out of 10! Tomorrow, I’ll be at Zigzag Timeline for another interview. M’s review of the book…

  • It…Begins!

    A bit like Batman did, but with less violence and skin-tight rubber. The first day of my blog mini-tour is here, and it has started with a 5 star review and interview on Dragon’s Lair Books. It continues tomorrow with another review and interview on Bookishly Devoted. Don’t forget, Shadow…

  • Book Tour!

    Well, blog mini-tour. From Friday, 1 June to Tuesday, 5 June, I will be doing a book tour! Or more accurately, I will be sat here doing pretty much nothing while the blogs do the work of posting reviews and interviews with me. I will be sitting all day with…

  • To Free Or Not To Free

    Ok, I think I may have wasted that ‘clever’ title on this post, but it does seem to be the question on Amazon’s mind every time I want Shadow of the Wraith to be free. Last weekend, I had Saturday and Sunday scheduled for a free promotion. All went as…
