What it takes to be an author – part 2
I’ve written before about what it took me to get published. It was a collection of tips and lessons-learnt, which Lifehacker grandiosely called “The complete guide”. However, every so often I come across an article from one of the literary greats about the topic. A couple of really good ones I came across recently, from […]
The things we do for book promotions
Catching the public’s eye and directing it to your book is hard. The favourite past-time for authors is interviewing each other.

New Cover?
Hi guys, I’m not entirely happy with the cover for Murder In Absentia, and have been thinking of getting a new one. I have been researching options that won’t bankrupt me, and have been thinking about Derek Murphy from CreativeIndie before (www.bookcovers.creativindie.com). By chance I found out that he runs a 12-day giveaway now! So […]
What it takes to become an author
Unless you somehow missed it, I recently published my debut novel. For those who asked about how I did it, and as a sort of learning exercise, I recently wrote an article for Lifehacker about what it takes to become an author. You can read it in full here: www.lifehacker.com.au/2015/12/the-complete-guide-to-writing-your-first-novel/ While the article contains a lot of information, […]
Dealing with Piracy
I have always maintained that digital piracy is unavoidable, and it is therefore better to treat it as a compliment. It is not a lost sale but more like a book borrowed from a public library – and with the right attitude, you can potentially gain a long-term fan. I have been approached by Mobilism.org about it, and […]
Conventions and Bookstores
Murder in-absentia is now being carried by Galaxy Books in Sydney. If you’re around the QVB – check them out! They’re a really great store for sci-fi and fantasy buffs. Over the weekend I’ve also had my first ever book signing at BezerkaCon. The conventions was well attended, and the book was well received. You can […]
Book signing!
I will be at BezerkaCon this Sunday, November 15th, for book signing! BezerkaCon is a brand new tabletop gaming and artistic convention organised by the Sydney Roleplaying Games Association. It will be held in Balmain Town Hall. Come drop by if you want a personally signed and dedicated copy, or just to say hello 🙂
Celebrating Murder In Absentia now fully available
Murder In Absentia is now fully available for Kindle and in print. To celebrate I will be posting some more Felix short stories I have been preparing for this day 🙂 A new story will be coming every week.
