Hi,


Just back from driving Mum home to UK from Ireland. An exhausting two days of motorway driving - north to Rosslare, across the Irish Sea, and south from Pembroke to Somerset. We were on the tail end of storm Agnes, so the return journey to Ireland wasn't a pleasant experience. The 'Oscar Wilde' wallowed like a pregnant pig, and 'unwell' was the order of the day! Happily back at home, now, and back to the grind.


AUTHORLY NEWS

Without further ado... The first book for my Bookouture series is back from proof reading. My next job is to check the comments and agree (or not) the amendments. I have to finish the second book by the 1st November, so the countdown is on. From this point forward, no interruptions needed, so I apologise in advance if you contact me and get a tardy response.


The new covers for the 'Suffer the Little Children' series are trickling in slowly. They have gone through three home-created remakes as I struggled (and failed) to find the graphic artist lurking inside me, but these below, commissioned by a real graphic artist, are the final versions (unless I change my mind!). I am awaiting the final cover for the book in progress.

I don't have time to read every book that comes via a book funnel, or a 'swap' promotion with another author, so if you get a sample, a badly written book, or anything else that you find irritating, let the author know, by way of a review; don't shoot the messenger!


If you get an exceptionally good book, let me know so that I can check it out.


Even if you choose not to take any of the books from the offers, do please click on some links - it would help my 'share' statistics. I have been refused entry to some promotions as my share rate isn't high enough; book funnels are dominated by some very aggressive authors. I admit to being a social mediaphobe and live in the hope that writing quality beats the ability to bludgeon my way into readers' kindles.

Happy Reading

You have probably received this newsletter because you have accepted one of my books from a promotion. I do hope you wish to continue to follow both my publishing journey, and my storyboards of life here in Ireland, but if not, there is an unsubscribe button below.
