Hotter than Hell
I’m writing this post from a hostel in Cartagena. Temperatures hit 32°C (90°F) today which is just about the point where my pale skin begins to bubble. Fortunately, I’ve found shade (and cover from the dodgy street sellers) and figured it was about time I wrote a blog post with the latest news.
How To Get Amazon Reviews For Your First Book
I REALIZE IT’S BEEN A WHILE since I wrote anything remotely related to authoring. Yeah. It’s a word. So, I wanted to take a moment to explain what I do to get reviews for my books. What triggered this particular post was reading the RTE best reads of the year by Sinead Crowley. Some of […]
Oh Yeah. That Marketing Thing.
SO, I RELEASED A NEW NOVEL TODAY. My fifth. Can you believe that? I haven’t done too much in the way of promotion, because, well…I’ve done that in the past, thrown a lot of money at it, and didn’t get much return on the old investment of either time or energy. Instead, I’m employing a […]
Child’s Play (A Short Story)
In a school yard, a group of kids dressed in uniform were huddled together in a ring, looking over the shoulders of two boys in the centre. They were kneeling, staring at one another from opposite ends of a chalk circle drawn on the ground. One of the boys – a ruddy bruised face and […]
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 […]
ROT and the Spin-off
THE FIRST FOUR STORIES from the ROT universe are free to download on Amazon. At least, for the next 48 hours. Get them while they’re ROT. Ahem… ROT Series Later this year, I hope to eventually release a spin-off from the series, featuring one of the main characters, Ian. To those who haven’t read ROT, […]
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.
ROT: The Novel + 4 Year Birthday!
SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY since I started blogging. Today WordPress informed me that it’s four years since my first blog post. It started out as a travel blog and documented my journey through Central and South America.
ROT's a Wrap
FOR THE PAST 5 months I’ve lived a double life. My alter-ego was a six-inch tooth-fairy that straddled the human world and the Fairy Kingdom. And I’ve enjoyed every single minute of it. Last week I released the final part – ROT 6: Filling Time. You can read more about the series here. It’s a […]
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 […]
