Testing something.

I’m trying something out, seeing if the software works how I want it to. I need some people to test it for me, and I don’t think it’s fair if you get nothing from it.

I’m adding downloads of my ebooks to the website, and if bought here the files will have something extra in – a little bonus, if you like. To test the system thoroughly I’ve added the files for Earthlink: Impact in three formats: Kindle, ePub and PDF and I’ve set them all at an introductory price for today and tomorrow (Thurs 19th April and Friday 20th April). I need to test the payment part and for that some money has to change hands, but it really doesn’t have to be much. 50p for UK readers and 75 cents for US readers – small change and straight from your paypal account. You won’t miss it and you’ll get the first of the Exclusive ebooks direct from here. Read More…

My sci-fi novella, Earthlink: Impact, is completely free for Amazon Kindle from Friday 6th April through to Monday 9th April.

Earthlink: ImpactEarthlink:Impact is a short novella, at only approx 20,000 words, a quick read.

Sci fi, with a troubled teenager, aliens and spaceships.

What if they are up there, monitoring us, and the planet? What if the planet has grown, developed, become conscious in some way? What if just one person could hear that consciousness in pain? What if that one person had just crashed a stolen car after a night of drink and drugs?

Sage is eighteen years old and, ever since she can remember, there’s been a voice in her head. She’ll tell you that she doesn’t hear voices, they don’t tell her to do anything. It’s just a single voice, and it doesn’t speak, it screams. She hears an unending scream as if the voice is someone in constant, agonising pain.

She’s been told she’s hallucinating. She’s spent time in psychiatric care and on strong drugs that cut her off from her feelings, and she hates all of it.

But she’s not hallucinating, the voice is all too real and Sage has been watched for years in the hope that she’s not the only one who can hear. When Sage puts her life in danger, and it’s clear that she is unique, intervention is necessary.

Kindling.

Just after Christmas I treated myself to a kindle. I had a bit of money put by, an amazon voucher, and I snuck in before the UK VAT rise, so I consider it to be a bargain.

But is it as good as the reviews say? Read More…

Sorry Folks, anyone wanting signed copies of my books, I can’t promise they’ll be here in time for Christmas. So, you’re very welcome to order books through the site but I can’t make any guarantees.

If, on the other hand, you just want paperback copies without my scrawling in them for you then I suggest you either go to Amazon or into your local book shop.

That proof wasn’t quite right, the cover crop was off by just enough that it offended me and I couldn’t leave it as it was. So I tweaked it by a couple of millimetres and tried again. Read More…

The Portal Between is at #92 in UK Kindle Store > Kindle Books > Fantasy > Contemporary. I’m in the top 100 of something, how cool is that?

The Kindle store for Amazon UK is so new that these initial sales are the time when a few sales will rocket a title up the charts more than they will in a month or two when it’s all settled down.  So I know these figures and rankings are a little unrealistic and do reflect the time in which they stand.

But I was still number 92 for a while and that really made my day.
