One of the joy of being an Indie Author, is discovering the works of fellow indies. These are books you are unlikely to find on the best-seller shelf at your local soulless mega-store. No. These are exceptional works with literary merit, books that will make you feel, expose you to new worlds and make you […]
As mentioned in my previous post, I participate in a lot of Twitter events. As chance would have it, this Friday’s #FictFri challenge was about ‘Fortune‘… I laughed so hard! ‘Felix’ in Latin means ‘lucky’. He often makes comments about his love/terror/awe relationship with the goddess Fortuna. So if you’re in the mood for some laughs, […]
This post will be of interest to both fellow authors and readers. EDIT: The post is continually updated, as I discover more info.

Jessie runs a current affair show during the week, and a fairly-random-but-often-book-related show on weekends. Listen to interview here: http://www.spreaker.com/user/commongroundradio/assaph-mehr (skip about 4 minutes […]

This article was originally posted on my Quora blog. I’m posting and summarising my experiences in writing and marketing my novels, both as notes to myself and as advice from the trenches for other budding authors. One of the worst aspects of becoming an author, is marketing your own book. I mean, if I was some kind […]
No, I haven’t started podcasting. However Murder In Absentia is starting to appear in more and more podcasts around the, err, not ether but Internet. The first one was by Joshua Calkins-Treworgy a few weeks ago. Then came Brian Basham with Night Reads, reading aloud the first chapter of Murder In Absentia. The latest podcast […]
