There’s been very little news
I’m doing kind of okay, in terms of sales though, there are at least some numbers on my KDP now. I’m getting the edited edition of TGFTB ready. I honest thought it would take me, maybe 2 days, but it’s not going that way at all. I’m on day 4, and I really wanted to…

Miriam’s Adorable Landlady
I’ll do you an excerpt about Nettie. She’s a minor but important character to Miriam: He agreed, and they wandered back into town. Her room was a fair way from the tea house where she went to read; it was actually closer to where Harry still was. To his surprise, she invited him to see…

‘Only until Midnight’ review
So this is interesting: A beloved classics new take The story of Cinderella, a slight twist in the fairytale we all know and love. Pros: this author has fantastic descriptions, the point of view the story was told from was wonderful, and I appreciated the love and depth that Ella had for her mother. Cons:…

My BookSprout campaign is filling up
This is really great. I now have 19 out of 50 spaces filled. Which if I’m not mistaken means I have 31 slots left. I am actually ‘dyslexic with numbers.’ Which has a name but I can never remember it. That’s right though. I’m not an actual simpleton. Allegedly. Well, anyway, this is my best…

I’ve been quiet
I just thought I’d post in case… well, in case you read my blog and you were wondering why you hadn’t heard from that weird writer in a few days. The spouse is going away again on Sunday, so I should make the most of that time. After that I’m usually sad for a couple…

Excerpt from ‘Only Until Midnight’
Hi all, I’m formatting this today, and hopefully I can get it listed on Booksprout as soon as I’m done, so here is an excerpt from the Prologue, it’s actually longer than I thought it was, so this is about half: I remember the day it happened very clearly. I had been attempting to paint…

My Editor is Magic
She’s a genius or something, I swear. You remember me lamenting over how bad I am at Blurbs? Well, Melanie isn’t. She’s taken my approximations of blurbs and made them way flipping better. You gotta see: After a half-century of captivity, vampire Sinjen Carlyle is allowed out for New Year’s Eve. He spends it in…

Winning cover and poll results
Hi again, I’m back. I’ve brought math. The poll was pretty straightforward, pretty much 6-1 in favor of the title ‘Only until Midnight’, and the tagline being close to the image. I say pretty much because it’s easy to accidentally vote more than once on those polls. The colour options were a bit more divided,…

A tale of two reviews
Exactly the same book (but the audio and paperback versions, of ‘Creeping Fate,’ not that that matters very much.) I got my first one star review not long ago, which was at least detailed, followed by Sherry Fundin’s review. I’ll share them both, shall I? Because it’s all feedback, but feedback can be quite contradictory…

Writing again
I’ve gone back over LFLS, and Cinderella. For me, it doesn’t matter that much what I’m writing, but when I’ve finished a book there’s kind of a limbo afterwards. I have actually written a chapter of Snowfall in the last couple of days, and now I think I’m getting back into the swing of it…
