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 [...]
As you may know, I live out in the Boondocks, the sticks, Woop Woop (or pick your own quaint phrase meaning “the middle of nowhere”). The main industries here are fruit growing and wine making. They play country and western musak in the local supermarket and the churches outnumber the pubs about twenty to [...]
Lately, four of the self-published authors I follow (on their blogs and Twitter) have said that they are giving up. Some are giving up writing altogether, some are giving up their attempts to be successful. Four is quite a rash and I wonder if it is a sign of things to come. The three [...]
Please excuse me. I’m about to rant. It’s not a pretty sight and I wouldn’t blame you if you went somewhere else right now. (And, if you’re wondering where would be a good place to escape to, try the Hope anthology online book launch – it’s in a very good cause.)
I’ve just been [...]
Courtesy of the very kind Marilee Brothers, I had the chance to blather about the three-ring circus we call publishing on her most excellent blog. If you’re interested in what I think about small publishers, self-publishing, and the Big Six, you should hop over there. If not, you should go there anyway as there [...]
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 [...]
At least, if my own experience is anything to go by!
I mentioned the other day that the few books I’ve self-published have been available for free on Smashwords to celebrate Read an eBook Week. Well, the week is almost up and it has been an astonishing success. People picked up almost as many [...]
Yes, it’s Read an eBook Week again. And for all you folks who would love to read some ebooks but can’t bring yourself to part with a dollar or two to buy them (you know who you are), now’s your chance to get them at reduced prices or even free at Smashwords.
I don’t [...]
Happy New Year everybody!
First off, thanks to everyone who took advantage of my publisher’s Holiday Special and snagged a cheap copy of TimeSplash. Astute shoppers will notice that the offer has now closed. Personally, I’d like to keep the price that low all year round but it’s not up to me. Instead, I [...]
This is probably my last post before Christmas, so let me wish you all a great one. I love Christmas and I love having my family here for the celebrations, so I’ll be having a good time. I’ve also lined up my Christmas reading – for all the quiet time that never quite materialises.

Campaigns The Yasmin McKillop Appeal
Yasmin is a lovely young woman who has a brain tumour and needs $60,000 for an operation that could save her. She doesn't have the money and her sister has started an appeal. Please visit the appeal's Facebook page and give what you can.
Books I Recommend I have put together a set of books which are, in my view, the best sci-fi ever written. If you want to know my taste in sci-fi, or if you’re interested in expanding your own collection, go and take a look.
Find my favourite Science Fiction Masterpieces on my Amazon store.
