I’ve just finished reading “The Owl Service” by Alan Garner owing to a recommendation. I cannot say I found the writing charming and yet it has a haunting surreal quality that made for a memorable read. It’s supposed to be a child’s book but I really can’t think of a reason why apart from the [...]
I am very pleased to announce that what I would probably call a Novelette (approximately 16,000 words) story of mine has been accepted by Changeling Press. I’ve considered writing for them for sometime and already know many of the authors there.They only publish shorter works and are perhaps most easily recognisable for their ‘poser’ type [...]
Or is it? Actually, overall I’m pleased with this short but succinct review by Joyfully Reviewed, which notes that “Cosmic is an incredible journey of passion and love played out in the stars” and offer my sincere thanks to the reviewer. Nonetheless, I tweaked a puzzled eye at the remarks regarding the slow build. Maybe [...]
If anyone is thinking I’ve disappeared that’s not the case. As many of you know I moved last year and have spent the last few months doing what I can in the house. Now we’re attacking the garden. I’ve no choice. Some things need to be ripped out before they begin growing too much because [...]
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So is art. To a great extent so is the answer to this question. Some erotic romance writers see themselves as part of the sex industry. I don’t. In some cases, maybe it’s a fair classification. It may depend on the content of their work, their motivation, [...]

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.
