First, thanks go to the reader who told me that she thought The Comet’s Tail was great. She went on to say that she loved the flashbacks in the story (huge sigh of relief on my part as I had done them in a rather unusual way), that the book made her want to read [...]
I don’t usually talk sale figures, for one reason. What amounts to a large figure for one person will seem paltry to another. I sell much less than some writers and more than others do. There are many reasons for this. Some writers are household names and on the bestseller lists. However, once you get [...]
I was going to write something more serious but it’s Easter weekend and I can’t be bothered quite frankly. Yes, I know. I deserve a slap on the wrist. I want a couple of lazy days eating too much chocolate. So I thought I’d just bring this week’s offering over from the Loose Ends blog [...]
I’m blogging over at the Loose Ends authors blog today on the subject of where an author gets their ideas. Do drop by! The blog begins:
For a long time I would laugh whenever I heard a writer complain of a reader asking this question. I stopped laughing the day it happened to me. I was [...]
Well, it’s Sunday morning and it’s um… persisting down. I don’t think it’s stopped raining all night. Something that undoubtedly brightens such a day is to read a good review and earlier this week I received a wonderful comment from a reader/writer who had just finished “Uly’s Comet”.
I’ll be honest and tell you that these [...]
Quite simply, I love this book. I’ve read Rick R.Reed’s I.M. and thought it was good, if you like or can stomach the horror/thriller genre, but truly “In the Blood” needs to be considered on its own merits. I only mention previous work for comparison. Ask Rick and he’ll tell you that he’s written other [...]

Please support the authors you love by adhering to copyright regulations. The same laws apply for digital books as digital music etc. And no, purchasing an ebook does not give you the right to share it around. Many readers ask why when they can lend or give a print book. The answer is simple. It is ILLEGAL to COPY a digital file. While many authors would not object to a reader making a back-up copy for their own personal use to prevent loss, you cannot 'give' a digital book to another person without first buying another copy (or in other words more than one license). Most people when they file-share or pass on a digital file keep the original and therefore a copy is made. Do so and I don't care what reasons you care to give, you are breaking the law and hurting the writers, many of whom write on top of a full-time job while trying to have a normal life. Many people believe producing digital copies of an item has no cost but this is simply untrue. For one thing it costs the author in 'hours' and hard work. Please show your support by reading, accepting, and abiding by copyright law. Do not give out files or accept them from file-sharing sites and always report a breach of copyright. Thank you.
