#3 – The Journey | The Weekly Kook Series
There’s a gentle tug at my elbow, startling me from a fitful sleep. The overnight train journey connecting Seattle to San Francisco had been largely uneventful. I had spent most of the evening counting the number of abandoned buildings dotted along the railway line and watching fields whizz by as dusk settled on the land. […]
#2 – The Poo Tree | The Weekly Kook Series
My name is Ellie Palmer and I am 11 years old. I’m sposed to pick a person as my hero. But I’m going to choose my dog instead haha. His name is Max. He’s 4-years old. He might be yunger than me, but he’s definitely more braver than me. He’s my best friend and hero […]
SPARKY – A New Short Story
AUGUST IS GOING TO BE BUSY. Two short stories will be released. The second – a Choose Your Own Adventure, that will test all my patience and creativity. The first… ..well, it’s called SPARKY and it’s now available to purchase for the princely sum of $1. You can check it out on Amazon by clicking […]
The Daily Rot
STARTING MARCH 1ST I’M EMBARKING on an ambitious project which, in equal measures both excites and terrifies me. Some background: Last Summer I enrolled in a Coding Course to reskill as a full stack software developer. As I near the end of the course, I’m finding it quite difficult to land my first developer job […]
Irish Shores and the Kindle Paperwhite Giveaway
Back in Dublin. Christ, I had forgotten how cold it is here. 8 °C which is just plain silly for Spring. I have it on good authority that there’s a heatwave coming tomorrow. If not, I’m gonna find the nearest oven to climb into for heat.
MEGA Giveaways – Thriller/Crime and Funnies!
INCOMING!!!!! The guys over at BookSweeps are arranging a couple of huge giveaways which end in the next few days. I’ve teamed up with 70+ other authors to give away a massive collection of books across two competitions to four lucky winners, PLUS a brand new eReader to the Grand Prize winner!
Sigil is Free. That is All. For Now…
SHORT UPDATE TO ANNOUNCE that my Irish based thriller SIGIL is free to download via Amazon US/UK for the next couple of days. It features the Catholic Parish priest Fr Tom Regan in what I can now officially confirm is his FIRST outing (more on that shortly). A suicide in the small sleepy village of […]
Fr Regan. I've been expecting you…
ALWAYS A PROUD MOMENT seeing a project in print or the first time. Especially this one. Yage is the sequel to Sigil and sees the Catholic Priest Tom Regan dust off his clerical collar again in a mystery thriller set in Peru. I’m going to release this one in mid-September and it will be my fifth […]
Take My Baby
PERHAPS IT’S THE scorching bank holiday weekend weather we just had. The dizzy heights of 21C (70F) were reached in some places. Almost unheard of! In any case, to celebrate the fact the weather seems to be behaving itself, I’m giving away my first book for free.
Looper
I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE. No. Not the rented room in a mate’s gaff in Dublin for an indeterminable period. Not the unemployment line.
Letting Regan off the Leash
QUICK UPDATE – My second novel SIGIL is free to download for the next 48 hours. I’m busy working on the sequel as we speak with (fingers crossed) a release date of end of June 2018. Quick turnaround, but I really am investing every waking sane moment I have into completing it. That would be […]
Review Team – Recruitment is Open!
I LOVE MY REVIEW TEAM. About five months ago I made a call out on my newsletter for readers willing to join. I hope it’s been beneficial for those who have signed up to be part of the team. The reviews so far for the ROT series and Raising Lazarus suggest it has, and for […]
Falling in (Book) Love
FOR YEARS, I’VE BEEN SEARCHING. That significant other. Someone to curl up with at the end of a long day. The one that makes you feel alive. Gives you hope. Inspires and helps you forget all your worries. If only, for a few hours. Turns out, I’ve been looking in the wrong places.
We Need To Talk About Lazarus…
I’VE BEEN SO ENTRENCHED in the ROT World lately that I haven’t really mentioned the fact I have a new book out next week. It’s my first novel in eighteen months. I’ve spoken before about the voices in my head and this was no different.
The Best Book Dedications. Ever.
STUMBLED UPON THIS POST on imgur earlier. Simply had to share it because I’ve been thinking about who to dedicate my third novel to. Close to the finish line now. You can check out the original post here or the images below for a chuckle.
Goodies to Gobble Up
I FEATURE IN two Bookfunnel promos this week. Basically, the site is a platform to connect readers to new authors. Readers get a free short story/book. Authors get an email address so they can harass inform readers of future promotions and new releases.
