Well, I’m signing off today for awhile. I’m not sure when I’ll be back quite honestly. It may be a few days or a couple of weeks. I have some personal obligations to sort out and I’m changing internet provider. I may only have dial-up for a short time.
I’ll let you know what’s made my […]

Thinking of Sharrow’s lovely review for “Snow Angel” and “Angel Heart” (see last post) I couldn’t help considering the subject of ‘how’ I write. This is either going to make perfect sense or sound ridiculous but something in the review caught my eye. Well, several “somethings.” I couldn’t help especially loving the way Sharrow called […]

Out of all the wonderful reviews I’ve received for Snow Angel, I can’t pass up mentioning this one. It put a huge grin on my face and made me laugh with delight. I honestly don’t think a review has tickled me so much for ages.
You can read the review that still has me smiling here […]

I’ve just read a book that is a recipe for a great summer read. Sink your teeth, your gaze, caress it with your fingers, and let the flavour of this book roll around on your tongue. Quite seriously, this is a book to indulge the senses.
“The Food of Love” by Anthony Capella was one of […]

More than one friend was rather proud of me last night. Rather than rush into signing a contract, I considered the changes the publisher wanted and, with the help of some informed readers, decided they had a point but weren’t entirely correct. I sent a proposal regarding the changes I was prepared to make. They’ve […]

My good news is that I just had to share this review by Joyfully Reviewed.
I like the line: As a whole, “The Swithin Chronicles 3: The Comet Cometh” is a spectacular conclusion to this fantastic fantasy series that will leave your romantic heart well satisfied while providing a gripping and fast-paced plot. *g*

Well, Microsoft messed up internet connections this week for many people, not just me, but I’ve managed to claw my way back to make a few announcements.
Firstly, I’m pleased to say that Loose-Id wanted to renew the contract on “Uly’s Comet” (The Swithin Chronicles 1) and I was happy to say yes. I’m planning on […]

Some love author promotional videos, some loathe them, including the writers themselves, but they can be fun to do…if the software you’re using behaves, which it seldom does, of course.
I originally made a video for “Space, Man” that was quite frankly deplorable. Being unable to write due to a stressful situation this week, I decided […]

“So, authors are earning 35% royalties on electronic books and 8% on print. But you sell millions of books. You must be rolling in it.”
Actually no. Private Eye magazine is a good source for statistics and there are other sources out there if you choose not to believe me, but many ebooks never sell more […]
