A Writer's work is never done.

Since I last posted on my blog I've got a lot done. The short story I was working on - The Four Thieves - is finished and is available to be downloaded for free from my website:

I've also started going through and revising Ritual of Blood for its new Second Edition, which will be a whole lot better than before, and will also include a Foreword by me. I am hoping to have it out in time for Halloween, and the revised Second Edition of Killing Time ready to go for Christmas. It may be a tall order, but by giving myself a deadline it'll give me he incentive to get it done.

Wish me luck!

Trailer on YouTube

This is the trailer for The Witch of Primrose Hill, which I have also posted on YouTube:

I've been working, (though not as hard as I should - procrastination, one of my many faults), on a short story for my website - which is were I've decided to post them. Ramton Gallow has taken on a life of its own, in my mind at least, and what started out as just a backdrop for my stories, has become a character of its very own. Through the books and short stories I'm going to leak little bits of the madness of this town, so the questions that may arise through reading about this world will be answered at some point, (a question like "Why does no one in Ramton Gallow use a mobile phone?", which is the first question anyone has asked me, and which I answered, "You'll find out." followed by a evil grin. I didn't want to divulge that piece of information just yet.) Anyway, I hope you like the trailer; I've got to get back to work.

Work in motion.

The Witch of Primrose Hill is now out there in the big wide world, yay!!! I've approved the proof, and now it's going to be distributed to a much wider audience. It should take about 8 weeks for it to appear on Amazon.com and on Google Book Search, but it's fully available by going through my website, or the publisher's website, Lulu.com.

The work of promotion is now on my list of things to do, along with getting the first draft of Falling Star finished - though that will take a little while yet - and the revised 2nd editions of Ritual of Blood and Killing Time.

I have also got myself a YouTube channel to help promoting my work, though I haven't thought out exactly how I'm going to use the channel to achieve that. I'm sure I'll think of something.
