Right! Summer’s over (it was early this year in the West of Scotland, being on 15th July) and my proper work has reverted to more regular hours. I now have some time to crack on with ‘Soul Survivor,’ and hopefully expand this blog into more than just a conduit for sales of ‘Damp Dogs & Rabbit Wee,’ which was published just about a year ago.
You know – one of the side benefits of writing and publishing a book, is the introduction it offers to similarly minded aspiring, indie authors.
This past year, I’ve read more books in a twelve month period than ever before. Those books were written not by Terry Pratchett, Frank Dikotter, Neel Mukherjee, Jang Jin-Sung, or Douglas Adams, some of my favourite authors. No – they were written by the likes of Rob Gregson, Jessica Collette, Andy Paine, Sarah Potter, Sue Harris, Robert Wingfield, Lia London, Cynthia Port, Will Once, James Court and Ana Spoke– some of my new favourite authors! (Watch out also for a guy called Corben Duke. He’s just been signed up by a publisher for his comedic fantasy, ‘The Worst Man on Mars.’ Very funny!)
Hopefully, over the next few months I can convince some of these excellent and entertaining writers to spend a little time on this blog, giving a bit of background to their inspirations and aspirations.
Indie authors everywhere …. I’m coming at you with a metaphorical microphone!
But for now …. ‘Damp Dogs & Rabbit Wee’ – the final push.
Good luck with the new book CT. Us slaves in the the paper mines, chained to our quills and being fed sticks of India ink are right behind you: with a knife in case we decide we can’t stand the competition.

Thanks for the mention twice (2 pictures of my book cover posted)! I hope that means double enthusiasm for my work. Am so glad you’re making good progress with “Soul Survivor”.
Enthusiasm is good 🙂

Ha Ha! I knew the intended numbers hadn’t ‘balanced’ when I was posting …. but was unable to see the the bleedin’ obvious! Thank you, Sarah.
(Now I better go find out who I’ve offended by their omission and get it sorted. Whoops.)

In my mind, being an EX Bank Manager is an excellent selling point for you as a writer 😉
