Received my first review on Amazon for The Pit & The Merchant’s Legacy pairing of short stories since it went up on there for free. Come out of the blue unexpected – and was given 5/5 stars. Hopefully that’ll help stir some more interest – and helps me get on to write the next short [...]

Over on Book Brouhaha, a site dedicated to the short story, The Pit got reviewed, receiving 4/5 stars, which is high praise indeed given most short stories reviewed there seem to get a lower rating.
An Amazon Offer – The Pit & The Merchant’s Legacy

I received an email the other day from Amazon stating that they were going to price match one of my works – in this case The Pit & The Merchant’s Legacy, a collection of the first two fantasy short stories revolving around Nhaqosa the Minotaur. Given it is up currently for free on Smashwords, they [...]
The first theatrical trailer for the new Conan the Barbarian movie has been released, the one starring Jason Momoa, not Arnold, which is due out Aug 19th. As a big fan of Robert E Howard’s works, I am looking forward to this – it looks more true to the source material than Arnold’s version did. [...]

March Report

Here we are, a quarter of the way through the year already. Where does time go? Output fell again, down to around 40K last month, though there were a number of reasons for that. For half the month I was dog-sitting my brother’s dog while he was overseas and that tends to chew up time. [...]

And here we are in March already – two months of the year gone. The output was reduced a lot compared to January, only around 50-60K done, but a lot of time was spent finishing Winter Wolves, proof-reading it and publishing it on Amazon/Smashwords. The givewaway of Winter Wolves has slowed down some, but has [...]

Late last night, just before I was about to head to bed, I got my second review for Tears of the Mountain – and my first 5-star review. Needless to say I was pretty stoked as I hadn’t been expecting it at all, and the person who wrote it isn’t someone I know. They read [...]
