You may have noticed there’s a lot of reorganization going on at the moment. Having now become an almost entirely indie-published author I’m trying to get my backlist into order. When I first put out the new versions of my Samhain books, I was doing it as fast as possible, just to keep them out…
This is such a good deal, omg 🙂 I know I mentioned it on the 1st of October, but today is my designated day when I’m supposed to share it, so for anyone who missed it last time, this is a bundle of 17 SF/F novels being given away for free. You don’t have to…
Heya, all! One of the things I’ve been turning over during my slight crisis following Samhain’s collapse and the scandal at Riptide has been what to do with myself now. There was a brief period where I considered giving up writing altogether. But then I thought ‘no, dammit. I’m just going to have to make…
Look at this! I was invited to speak at our local Church of England infants’ school by the vicar, some years ago now, and I’ve just discovered the talk I wrote for them. I managed to get most of it out without consulting the paper, and they asked me all sorts of things. Good times!…
One of the things I’ve done an awful lot of recently was to read “How to be a self-published author” self-help books. The most recent was Marketing the Romance by Liam Livings. All of them seem to be in agreement that it’s important to market by genre. People buy by genre. Even people who like…
aka “Do less, so that you can do more.” If you read my last blog entry you’ll know that I’ve been going through something of a crisis recently. It’s been such an ongoing thing that I’ve decided to call it a mid-life crisis. I am in fact 54 this year, so I’m a bit overdue…
Not much, is the answer. I have 11 chapters of Murder of a Working Ghost written, and it is still on track to be out in time for Halloween, but I find myself going through a bit of a crisis. I’m self aware enough to know that I always go through a crisis when the…
Having tried to donate my royalties from Contraband Hearts to BlackTrans.org, I could not get their website to allow me to give them money or to contact them to say the donate button didn’t work. And when I emailed them, the email bounced. That’s not a hopeful sign. There being nothing else I can do…
How awesome is this? Publisher’s Weekly has selected Contraband Hearts as one of its five best Summer Reads of 2018. Summer Reads list available through Publisher’s Weekly Best Summer Books, 2018 Well, that’s going on the front of the website 🙂
I should have done this yesterday, but I couldn’t access my website yesterday for some reason, so today it has to be. After what seems like years and years, Contraband Hearts is out! I know some of you have been waiting for a long time for me to write another age of sail book. Finally…
