August 2024 – 1st Book Birthday

On 5 September, Far Removed will be 1 year old (the paperback released early on 29/08, so it is already 1). Future blog posts will return to other indie writing and art topics, but I wanted to take this moment to thank everyone who has been involved in spreading the word about this dark fantasy.Continue reading “August 2024 – 1st Book Birthday”

June 2024 – Audiobook Appreciation

This blog post is about audiobooks and approaching interviewers. I took inspiration from something that happened this month, and it seemed a relevant subject.

November 2023 – Knights in Glazed Armour

One of the strange things about having Christmas and New Year in summer, is that all the exciting events occur over 2-3 months. ThenContinue reading “November 2023 – Knights in Glazed Armour”

Wake me up when September (2023) ends

Today I am sharing a short post. I’ve done a lot of writing and promoting this month with the release of my debut novel; it is fun, but also quite tiring! I have been fortunate to enjoy a week of leave before I go into a busy October (more client work, and a bit lessContinue reading “Wake me up when September (2023) ends”

July 2023 – Refine, Refine, Refine

July – a month of novelettes, mailing lists, birthdays, and reviewing epubs, paperback interiors and audiobook recordings.
