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.

Exciting news.
When I first started writing the job of an author was to write, period. Everything else was left up to the publisher. Now, if you are lucky enough and luck has a massive amount to do with this side of the business, luck and already having a reputation or something to sell means more to…
New title coming soon.
When a new book is about to be published one of the things I look forward to most is the cover art. My publisher is about to publish Resurrection the fifth book in the Col Sec series. I’ve seen the cover for this book and it’s awesome and I can’t wait for you to see…
I just want to write.
