Huge News for TimeSplash: A New Publishing Deal

A new logo on the spine.

I can’t tell you how excited I am about the deal I have just signed with Big Bad Media. [...]

A Big Thank You

TimeSplash has been out for about six months now (I know, I can hardly believe it either) and it is a good moment to take a small step back from my (continuing) promotional activities and just say a big thank you to all the people who have bought it and read it. And another big thank [...]

Quillsandzebras Review of TimeSplash

And, hot on the heels of the review by Booktaste, this wonderful review of TimeSplash by A. M. Harte at Quillsandzebras.

The amazing thing about Ms Harte’s review is her summary of the book. It is far better than any that I have written and better than the one my publisher is using. If only she could [...]

Podcast: My Experience of Publishing and Promoting My First Novel

Again, I owe thanks to the wonderful Joanna Penn of The Creative Penn for showing an interest in TimeSplash, my time travel thriller, and in me and what I’m learning about publishing and promoting my first novel.

So That Was The Virtual Book Tour That Was

At first, it seemed far, far away in the future. Then it began and seemed to go on forever. Now it is over and it feels just like yesterday. The TimeSplash Virtual Book Tour has come to an end with a spectacular 6 part wrap-up interview with Andy Shackcloth. And, now it is done, I’d like [...]

Deep End by Steven Odhner: A great short story based in the TimeSplash 'world'

A really good one, with a brilliant premise. Anyone who has read TimeSplash should pop over to Steven’s blog and have [...]

The Blog Tour Wrap: Andy Shackcloth reveals the story behind the tour

Andy Shackcloth has been my constant companion during the TimeSplash Blog Tour. He has made something of a case study out of my little adventure in book publicity and has helped me enormously in planning the tour and understanding what can and should be achieved.

As you and I have dotted around the world, visiting some of [...]

In Which I Am Interviewed By Sonya Clark

Sonya Clark, author of urban fantasy novella, Bring on the Night, has very kindly joined the blog tour and interviews me today on her blog. Much, of course, is revealed. Sonya has just had a short novel, Mojo Queen, accepted for publication by my old mates, Lyrical Press. You can read all about it while you’re [...]

Electronic-Only Publishing for Mainstream Writers

My warts-and-all exposé of electronic-only publishing is up now at Uppington’s blog All Things Good. You’ll be shocked! You’ll be astonished! You’ll run screaming for your mother! And then you’ll realise you were reading the wrong blog and have a look at my pleasant little piece instead.

The TimeSplash Blog Tour is nearing the end, and [...]

How Did You Get There? The Blog Tour Takes a Moment to Ponder.

Those of you who have not read Kristi Thompson’s blog ‘How Did You Get There?’ are in for a treat. Kristi describes it as the Internet’s first BlogCom–Part Blog–Part Sitcom. I came across it when the two of us started stalking following each other on Twitter and it is a delight, not only for Kristi’s wry [...]
