Back to Work

Back in harness again and looking forward to getting on with my next novel. This will be a ‘composite’: a mixture of two books written a long time ago but never having seen the light of day. The whole project has been growing on me for some time. I had started another thriller last year, but the advent of Amazon Kindle and indie publishing, along with the fact that I had levered the paperback rights to my books from my publisher meant that I spent most of the year working in that direction. As a result the thriller was put aside with the intention of taking it up again once the Kindle projects were out of the way. I did actually begin again, but then picked up the other project and mulled that over. Eventually it was obvious to me which story I wanted to complete, so the thriller will not emerge for a long, long time.

Mine and Pat’s trip back to UK last week was essentially to see the British Speedway Grand Prix (for me) at the Millennium stadium in Cardiff. I go every year with my son, John. This year we added on a few days and spent a bit of time sightseeing, shopping, family visits and looking round park home sites. We found a site in East Sussex which we both like. Once we have sold our house here in Spain, we’ll be bound for that county to rent and then, hopefully to buy a home on the site.

No startling news on the book front. This is another month so another book will feel the weight of promotion. It’s THE EAGLE’S COVENANT’s turn to be dropped in price. It will be $0.99 for most of this month. I have asked ENT to post it but there’s no guarantee they will pick it up. The last two promotions with ENT were very successful, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed for this one. I will also be giving away five copies of SHADOW OF THE WOLF. These are available in the ‘Giveaway’ comp. on Goodreads. Plus – I will be giving away three kindle books on Momma Says Read. So, let’s see what happens. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hopefully my readers will wish me luck.
