It’s been a while since I’ve written anything that I’ve been truly happy with. I’ve started projects but never gotten even half way through before discarding them as not working out. To me writing is all about enjoyment, entertainment and if I can’t entertain myself, then how can I hope to entertain the reader? I…

Giving some tlc
Most of the time I have concentrated on the next book to write which means some of the books I’ve lready written get left behind, which is a pity. I love all my books, I think my writing is pretty good entertainment for those who like action packed stories. Some might disagree and that’s okay,…
Writing for fun
What do you do for fun, is a question I get asked and my answer is always, I write. To some people fun is something you have to get out and do, actually do something, like fishing, or running, exercising, trekking, sailing, travelling, all those sorts of things. Some like to go clubbing, and when…
Finding that spark
Hollywood is in a situation where the money men are in control and they are going with the safe option. They look at percentages rather than content. That is why almost every movie being churned out is either a sequel or a reboot. Nothing new has come through their doors in over a decade and…

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…

Being an introvert, the idea of being able to walk into a book shop and see the books I’d written displayed proudly on shelves and being able to walk through completely anonymous was more than appealing, it was something I eventually strove towards. I wrote…
Just another obstacle
For the past few months my publisher, Red Penguin Books has been having difficulty re-establishing a working relationship with Amazon. They have been republishing my sci fi series under their banner and brand but because I self published the entire series before, Amazon have effectively blocked Red Penguin from publishing new editions of the books….
I just want to write part 2
Publishing has undergone a massive shift in the last few decades and it’s not always been good. In fact getting your work out has never been easier and yet getting it read is virtually impossible. That’s not at all cryptic, the publishing industry at one time was the home of the elite. Writers were held…
I just want to write.
I just want to write, that’s all, I love to write. I have so many ideas for books yet to be written to go along with the almost twenty books I’ve already written that I hardly have time to breath let alone market them. That’s not what a writer has to do though, nowadays in…
Lessons learned the hard way.
I think I’ve always wanted to write, ever since I was a small child I would lose myself in a book or comic which inspired me to do something of my own. I first began with making my own super hero comics but the time it took to do all the artwork meant that other…
