Just a quick update on things. I’ve finished the rewrite of The Rose of Nakunwe, the followup to Dawn of Wolves and next short story in the Frontier Wolves collection. I want to finish off the one after that, an as yet unnamed short story that has been plotted but not yet started, before releasing [...]

The first rough draft of the next story has now been completed. The Rose of Nakunwe is a planned novelette which is next in The Commonwealth Chronicles series, forming part of The Frontier Wolves sub-series. The rewrite should be done by the end of the month. However I’m still debating what exactly to do with [...]

I have finished the rewrite of Dawn of Wolves, ending at around 49,000 words, which is slightly over what is normally classified as a novella, but close enough I’ll still call it one. Now comes the next step – formatting, editing, proof reading and of course cover design.  Hopefully that will not take too long. [...]

With another year just started, it seems appropriate to look forward and try and set some goals. Basically it comes down to write more, publish more and promote more.  And post more to the blog. On the writing/publishing more, it is off to a good start.  I am up to the final rewrite/edit of Dawn [...]

I have finally finished the re-edit of Winter Wolves.  In addition it has received a new cover as well, in keeping with the others of the series. In addition to trying to fix up all spelling and grammatical errors that I could find, I also re-wrote the last 10,000 words.  I had never been entirely [...]

End of the year is rapidly approaching and I still have a few things on the list that I want to see done by then, so I’d better knuckle down and get them done. First up is to finish the re-edit/re-write of Winter Wolves. I’m down to the last 2K to go, so hopefully won’t [...]

The re-edit of Tears of the Mountain is now done, fixing up various little grammatical and spelling errors that hadn’t been caught previously. It also now has its new cover. 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 [...]

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 [...]

The third pair of novelettes in The Chronicles of the White Bull collection is finally done and published. I’d been wavering on them for some time before deciding to just go ahead with it. Entitled Legions of the Sand & Night’s of Fire, it can be found at Smashwords or Amazon. As can be seen [...]

Just an update on the process of re-editing all the old stories – so far two have been done. The Tomb of the Tagosa Kings and The Adventures of Ray the Robot have now had a go over trying to fix any errors that fell through the cracks previous times. I also gave The Adventures [...]
