And this one is just in time for Indie Author Day and Virtual Fantasy Con!! Today, my dear friends, I am celebrating a first-time achievement, one that puts my right up there with such luminaries as JRR Tolkien, Stephen King and JK Rowling! Today I am the happy recipient of…. <drum-roll> … my first 1-star […]

Virtual Fantasy Con Awards – I’m a Finalist!
In preparation for Virtual Fantasy Con next week (and I do hope to see you there!) the organisers are running an awards program. It seems like I’m a finalist in all categories I’m participating in… 🙂 OK, Felix would like to mention that technically it’s his memoirs, so his awards. So if you like either (or […]
Another #AchievementUnlocked and Upcoming Events
First for the achievement: I’ve been the subject of an official press release! And not for getting arrested! 😀 This is part of my sponsorship of the UnDead Prom. You can read the full text of the press release here. And, if you live around California, I highly suggest you check out the UnDead Prom too! […]
September #WIPJoy
Just a quick update, that I am participating the September edition of #WIPJoy on Twitter! If you’d like to learn more about the next upcoming Felix mystery, hear to this link (and this week was particularly fun – it’s all in Felix’s voice!) Just like last time, when it’s done I’ll post a summary of all […]
Results of 50-for-50 Murder In Absentia Promotion
These are some of my favourite moments from the 50 for 50 promotion we ran throughout July for Murder In Absentia! The results in publicity and sales were excellent, and the momentum seems to be carrying forward well into August now! So very happy with the overall results. The next big promo we’ll run will have […]
Interview Roundup and #Storyology talk!
A collection of links to original interviews and media appearances from the past month. This round was particularly enjoyable, as each interview brought in new questions, and exposed new aspects to writing, history, research and my personal history. Pagan Musings (Blog Talk Radio) – a podcast interview about anything and everything to do with […]
#WIPJoy
Throughout July I have been running a Twitter event for #WIPJoy – The Joy of my Work In Progress. It was based on the questions originally set by SimmeringMind for June, but since I only found out about it close to the end I figured late is still OK 🙂 You can see the original questions […]
SQUEEEE!
Every author, every person really, has some authors they look up to. People who have “made it” and inspired them to write. So when one of them ends up reading your book and liking it… Well, a very loud “Squeee!” is in order. Ruth Downie is the author of the Medicus series, featuring the legionnaire medic and currently reluctant […]
Dealing with Writer’s Block
This is going to be particularly amusing for those who have read Murder In Absentia or the short stories… I was dealing with a bit of a block last week. So decided I’ll just write. Doesn’t matter if it’s crap, but just write something. Anything. Advance the plot or go sideways, just do it. So… […]
Review of Catch the Moon, Mary by Wendy Waters
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 […]
