New Cover - The Witch of Primrose Hill

After listening to the feedback from some of my readers I have released The Ramton Gallow Mysteries: The Witch of Primrose Hill with a new cover:

Both editions will be available to buy for a limited time before I discontinue the "blue cover", first edition. The new cover version is available from my website, as well as the link below:

The Feast is here!!!

Ritual of Blood has finally been released, in its new revised 2nd edition version, and I must say I'm very happy with it. It has spurred me on to make the revised 2nd edition of Killing Time just as good. When I first decided to rewrite Ritual of Blood, it had been 6 years since I last picked it up, and I must say that I have grown so much as a writer in those years that it was quite painful to go through it. It was the first novel length piece of writing I had ever attempted, and I was very uncertain I could even complete something that long. Getting it published was to begin with an experiment just to see what it took to get it in book form. I learnt a lot in those months, but when the book was published I wasn't totally happy with it, I knew I could make it better. Now, six years later, I feel I have. It's how I wanted it to be, and I am in love with the characters now as much as I was when I first created them.

Just as with The Witch of Primrose Hill, Ritual of Blood is available in paperback (for £8.99) and as an eBook download (for £2.50). I hope you enjoy it.

Upcoming Projects - Falling Star and Killing Time

With the upcoming release of the revised 2nd edition of Ritual of Blood, (on October 31st), my mind has turned to my next writing project, my YA horror novel, Falling Star. I've been working on it periodically over the past few months, but I am now at a point where I can concentrate on getting the first draft fully done.

Falling Star revolves around a fifteen year old girl called Katie Jenkins, who is just beginning to discover she has psychic abilities. It is when she meets and befriends a young runaway called Star that Katie's awareness of her powers begins to increase, and she finds that not only is she being visited by the spirits of the dead, but that there is also a shadowing evil stalking her new friend.

I also haven't forgotten about the revised 2nd edition of Killing Time, which I am going to take my time over after Halloween, make sure it looks and read exactly how I want it to, and hopefully release it sometime in 2010.
