A question I find aking myself is, is this it? Is this all there is? Is this the end?

I’ve been writing in some form or another for most of my life. At first it was a way to pass the time adding art to my stories and my love of comic books. Then I learned it was much faster to tell the same story by removing the art and simply writing.

I’ve been an avid reader since I frst learned to read, it was a way of escaping the dreary every day into a magical world where anything was possible, even if it was for a few moments each day. The idea of writing a book came later when I couldn’t find the book I wanted to read so remembering what a writer had said, I decided to write it myself.

Twenty one books in, three different publishing deals and nothing to show for it, I found myself facing the grim reality of failure and asking that question again. This time knowing the answer.

It hasn’t helped that for the past few months, I haven’t been able to write anything I like. I’ve started several projects and scrapped each and every one of them. It appears that I’ve lost the spark that used to excite me about writing. Looking failure in the eye time and again will do that to you. It saps the very will out of you.

So maybe I should take the time to relax, to not think too hard of what I should be writing and simply write about anything that comes to mind, God knows there’s enough going on in the world, I should be able to comment on at least one item.

In the meantime, I have just self published Invincible, book 11 in the Col Sec series. It’s been sitting in my folder for over a year or more waiting for my publisher to catch up with republishing the series. Amazon have thrown up several road blocks they seem unable to circumnavigate so I thought I might as well put it out myself. The same ppublisher is about to release the third book in the DUncan Pryde series, A Good Day to Die. That will come out after the reissue of the previous two in the series, Lone Operator and Raine of Terror which will have all new artwork on the covers. These will be out beore Christmas so keep your eyes open and on all the major eBook stores.

Who knows, by the time they’re out and Christmas is over and the 2024 appears I may have resolved my writers block, after all, if you’re a writer, anything is possible.
