Apparently my mind is ‘iridescent’… #fantasy

One of my equestrian clients quizzed me the other day about my books. She’s Scottish, so my Caledonian Sprite series intrigued her, despite the fact she hadn’t read a fiction novel in 30 years! Here is what she said: ‘…the big news is I read a book – fiction – not my usual thing at […]

#Blog review

As a consequence of the debacle over the copyrighted photo, I am now faced with the mammoth task of going back through all 835 posts, spread over the 8 years I have been blogging, to check and delete any pictures I am unsure of. It does, however, give me an opportunity to look back over […]

Help! My interview is nigh! #POW2 and #KindleCountdown #sale

A couple weeks ago I posted about THE POWER OF WRITING telesummit. Did you join up? Remember, it’s FREE… It’s into the last week now, but I thought I’d give you a reminder as my interview goes out this week – tomorrow, in fact (Tuesday), and you can still sign up (free, remember?) if you […]

Results from my #KDP #Countdown #Sale for DESPRITE MEASURES

It’s taken me a while to get around to this, but I promised to share the results of the KDP Countdown Promo I did for DESPRITE MEASURES, a few weeks ago. Aside from a lack of time, I thought I would also wait just a bit to see if it had a follow on effect […]

Jim Butcher at #Eastercon #Dysprosium 2015: The Ultimate #Urban #Fantasy panel

Well, not just Jim Butcher; CE Murphy and Charles Stross were equally engaging on The Ultimate Urban Fantasy Panel, but I’ve seen them both before: for me, this was my Jim Butcher introduction, and I’d happily listen to him again.  The panellists began by stating that editors have been saying for over 10 years now, that […]

What went on at #EasterCon – #Dysprosium 2015

EasterCon – Dysprosium 2015 Yep, that’s where you can find me this weekend. Well, most of it, anyway. Sometimes life (and work) get a teensy bit in the way… Anyhow, I spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening at The Park Inn, Heathrow, where the Con is being held. As usual, I’d investigated options for getting […]

Here is a lovely new 5* review of my urban fantasy: Desprite Measures. Thanks to both Jessie and Rosie 😀

Is an indie author’s work ever done? #IndiePublishing #writing

Bit of a silly question, really. Even discounting the continual marketing, we all know the answer. Of course not! And I’ve just had it rammed home, yet again 😦 It’s now 16 months since I published THE PRINCE’S MAN, and it’s all gone smoothly. More than 60 reviews, 44 of those 5* 😀 And not […]
