I mentioned in a post the other day that one of the benefits of going to different events, which is never knowing who you’ll meet. A couple of years ago, I went to an author/blogger gathering in York and, shortly after arriving, met Anna Shenton. The event had...

One of the great joys to me of going to different events is you never know who you’re going to meet or the outcome of that meeting. Shortly before the seriousness of COVID-19 became apparent, in those heady days when you could travel freely and talk to whoever...

I can’t believe a week has passed since Carrion was set free, and allowed to soar… Well, ‘soar’ might be pushing it a bit. Still, it’s a bit like Christmas, isn’t it? You have the long run up to it, and then, voom! –...

Ordinarily, if someone has been kind enough to include me in a blog post, I will share it widely the same day the post goes live. In the immediate aftermath of the book launch for Carrion, there was a lot still happening, and I’ve been sharing other posts...

I said yesterday that there were a couple of posts on the blog blitz that stood out because the bloggers went further. I do need to clarify here that, in both cases, the bloggers had previously reviewed Ravens Gathering, so they were – to some extent, at...

And so the adventure continues… If you can call it that. On publication day, Jill Doyle at Jill’s Book Cafe also went above and beyond the call of duty by including a guest post from me. This one is a little reflective, but I think it also acts as a useful...

Following on from my post yesterday, in the spirit of catching up, I wanted to share a post from Linda’s Book Bag. This one was part of the Blog Blitz that took place the day before the book launch, though Linda very kindly went the extra mile to offer...

For those of you who missed it (where were you?), yesterday was finally the day Carrion was released into the wild – I mean, launched. I’ll be the first to admit that social media isn’t something I’ve ever really got the hang of, so when there...

Prologue His master’s current home was large and undoubtedly comfortable, but the messenger knew his place: outside, huddled in the cold night air. He took shelter in the nearby wood, using a tree trunk as a windbreak while he waited patiently. There was...

It’s now only four days until you can get your hands on a copy of Carrion. Not that you have to wait to get that ball rolling. A click on the book cover will allow you to pre-order it. As far as this post is concerned, though, the book’s a...

Today, I should have been taking part in my second Read Dating event of the year. If you’re not sure what one of those is, you might want to check out my post about the last one I did. These are fun events, both from the author’s point of view and that of...
