The edited version is now up and working on Smashwords and is currently being published on Amazon, so should be ready to go in a [...]

Update on Edits and Covers

I’ve finally got the re-edits of all the short stories completed and now have the hard part to go – the re-edit of the two novels. The first, Tears of the Mountain, will be the easiest given it is just a grammar/spelling check, but Winter Wolves will take a while longer as there is a [...]
My First Interview

I had my first ever interview posted, over on Indie Book Blog. Its actually rather a lengthy one, and doing them is harder than it seems. I’ll need to start hunting down more if I am to get my name out there and interest in the books.
February Report

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 [...]
My First Review

I received my first review for Tears of the Mountain on Amazon. It feels like now I am officially under way, though the road ahead still has a long way to travel. But actually having a review – and one that isn’t terrible to boot – is a great feeling. I also have an interview [...]
January Report

January has come and gone – yes already. One twelfth of the year has already flown by. Writing wise it was a decent month. Notable points are; 130K words written – mostly rewriting old drafts but still that is progress. 70K done on rewrite of Winter Wolves novel. 10.5K done of rewrite of Dawn of [...]

The plunge has been taken; Tears of the Mountain is now on Amazon. Now to see where it lands. Currently it is on sale for the bargain price of $0.99 (US) – as a brand new author putting out the first novel my thinking is it is best to not aim too high and to [...]

The year has begun and we are already a couple of weeks in so I thought it time to take stock of what has happened and what I have got planned. Firstly I have managed to write everyday of the year so far, and not insubstantial amounts. If I am rather liberal with my definition [...]

Professor Halir Ashford. Historian, Explorer and Adventurer. One of the favourite characters I’ve written so far. And a character who really shouldn’t have existed beyond a minor mention. It happens from time to time; characters take on a life of their own and demand a bigger say in things. His story starts back with a [...]
