Evolution and Space

I have a new short story out as a “single” on Amazon. It’s called “Finding the Future” and it’s priced at $0.99c for those on a low budget. For pensioners, concession card holders and people who wouldn’t spit in my mouth if my teeth were on fire, you can actually get the story for [...]

Free!

It’s about the half-way point on my second TimeSplash giveaway under the Kindle Select scheme and the result seems to be about the same as last time – thousands and thousands of books snatched up, mostly in the US. At the time of writing, a day and a half into the event, about 13,000 [...]

A Few Quick Reads (One for Free!)

Tweet

I’ve had a few short works appearing in anthologies and mags lately and I thought you might be interested if I did a quick summary – especially since one is free and they’re all easily accessible.

The Earth Ship – This is a longish short story that I put out a couple of weeks [...]

The Earth Ship Available on Kindle

Tweet

Marketing Maestro, Joe Konrath, says you should not only sell collections of your short stories on Kindle, but also sell each of the stories in the collection as a separate item. So I thought I’d have a go at putting a short story (a fairly long short story as it happens, nearly 9,000 words) [...]

Talking TimeSplash and Kindle at Patty Jansen’s Blog

Tweet

Just a very quick note to say you should pop over to Patty Jansen’s blog where I have a guest post about my experiences with the Kindle Select programme. Patty describes it as “a wild ride” and she’s absolutely right. See you over there.

Best-Seller for a… Couple More Days

Tweet

Last weekend (was that just three days ago?) I had a free book giveaway on Amazon for my time travel thriller, TimeSplash (that’s it in the left-hand column if you want to pick up a copy). As my previous post says, it was an exciting moment. A book that had spent almost two years [...]

Best-Seller for a Day

Tweet

I signed my novel, TimeSplash, into the KDP Select programme the other day because I was hoping it might give it a bit of a boost. It has been two years since the book was first published and sales have started flagging. Select gives you the option to promote your books by offering them [...]

The Kindle App on My Smartphone

Tweet

A profound change has come upon me. No, it’s not the male menopause, although I’m long overdue for a red sports car and a dab of Rogaine. No, this change is based on the realisation that from this week onward, whatever I’m doing, wherever I am, I will never be without a book to [...]

TimeSplash the Audiobook is Available Now

Tweet

Well, it was a long and strange journey, but my time travel thriller, TimeSplash, is now available as an audio book – thanks to my newest publisher, Iambik Audiobooks. So, as we speak, TimeSplash is on sale as a self-published ebook and as a commercially published audio book, and it is in production at [...]

The Strange Geography of eBook Sales

Tweet

Before I go on, let me just squee* for a moment. The second edition of my time travel thriller, TimeSplash, is out today (on Smashwords – out tomorrow on Amazon), It has had a bit of an overhaul, too: new cover, slight re-edit, and two new ISBNs. That’s it, on the left of this [...]
