The ROT Revolution will not be televised
I’VE HAD SO MUCH fun writing the ROT series. What was going to be a standalone short-story has now taken on a life of its own and spawned three sequels. It will eventually be a collection of six stories and then rolled into ROT: The Novel, this Summer. I want to make the story available […]
The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat
I STOLE THAT from one of the new episodes of the X-Files. Am I the only one that is enjoying the new season? It’s been twelve days since the release of my latest book – Raising Lazarus. I’ll be bumping it up to its normal price of $3.99 tomorrow. Now’s a good time to get […]
Raising Lazarus – Launch Day (99c/p)
My new book Raising Lazarus is available for purchase from today. That makes three novels in two years. Not quite King-esque, but I do try! I’m launching the digital version of it at the price of 99c/p. In a few days it will move to the extortionate price of $3.99. How do I sleep at […]
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.
Writing up a Storm
THIS WEEK I MOVED all my earthly possessions in a suitcase and moved to Colombia. Bogota now. Medellin later. The weather here has been nothing short of shite. Only a few degrees more than what I was escaping in Ireland. At least I know Medellin is certain to be warmer having spent a year there […]
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.
Do you feel lucky punk?
I’ve teamed up with the guys over at SFFBookBonanza to throw a couple of giveaways your way. There are two prizes on offer. a new Kindle e-Reader. 2 x $100 Amazon Gift card to spend however you like. Hint: My books are perfectly sized to prop up wonky tables.
What news squire?
FOR THE FIRST TIME in over a year, I’m sick. Battling a head cold. Really annoying. Since taking daily cold showers, I felt almost invincible. I guess the Christmas indulgence of booze and my achilles heel – Ferrero Rocher’s – helped accelerate my downfall. Just gonna have to take a little better care of myself from 2018. […]
Ramping Up
IT’S BEEN A BUSY eight weeks since I quit my job. I started a series called ‘The ROT Collection‘ which follows the exploits of a rogue tooth fairy who rips teeth out of kids mouths. It’s a dark comedy, and my plan is to release a new part every month.
More Free Stuff + Updates
IS IT JUST ME or do hangovers get worse as you get older? I had a murderous one from last Saturday, and I swear, it’s only today (Thursday) that I feel 100% again. ‘Spose if you do the crime, you gotta do the time. My writing efforts took a hit as a result. Back on […]
The Review Team
I’VE BEEN BLOGGING since February 2014 with one primary motivator: Use it as a platform to promote my books. Almost four years on, I now feel like I have enough followers/subscribers to try something a little different. So, I’ve created a ‘Review Team‘ group.
Introducing…The ROT Collection
WHILE I WAIT for my editor to provide feedback on my third novel (Raising Lazarus), I decided to work on a little side project. This will be my third short story. I had a lot of fun with this one! It is Part 1 of what will be a collection of dark short stories which […]
No Tricks. Just Treats
For the past two weeks I’ve been working myself into a frenzy, cleaning up the manuscript for my third book, Raising Lazarus. Now, it’s in the capable hands of my editor (please be gentle, Gary!), so for the next few weeks I’m going to be working on a couple of short stories.
A Short Story Feast (plus a novel treat)
I’M CURRENTLY HOSTING a short-story promotion in association with the guys over at Instafreebie. There are over 150 free titles to choose from across virtually all genres – something for even the most picky of readers.
