I’m quite happy to announced that after the hic-cup earlier in the year when it looked as if my second Swithin Spin might well struggle to find a home that “Redemption” has been accepted by Aspen Mountain Press. We’ve signed the contracts and I’ve done all the pesky paperwork that comes with an acceptance.
There were [...]
Got a nice review for Shifting Perspectives 2 from Bitten by Books in which I’m particularly pleased with the mention of my story. They call it “A fish tale that is very much an original, this story was a truly refreshing look at those old fish stories you heard growing up as a kid. Of [...]
I guess that’s not strictly true as I am informing you all that I’m disappearing for a few days and I’m not sure you can be AWOL when everyone knows about it. I should write a delightful insightful blog no doubt but the fact is I’m run off my feet, trying to decide what to [...]
Where is the time going this year? On the home front we’ve almost managed to finish the garden. Next…well, we’re hoping to take a break and maybe a great holiday soon, after which we have a delapidated garage to pull down and something to put in its place, maybe a summerhouse. I could do with [...]
This post that is. Just an update, currently I’m working on edits for “Nights in Pink Satin”. I may also be about to sign a contract for another book. My new Macbook has arrived and I’m trying to find my way around that. I will be using both the Mac and a Windows PC for [...]
Okay, we took the plunge and ordered a Macbook. If all goes well, we may consider changing the desktop some time next year but this has more life left in it than my laptop. The snag is of course that I will probably love the Mac and then feel irritated by how slow things are [...]

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.
