Paperback/Kindle Offer

Looking for a gift for Christmas?

If you buy the paperback version of Eye of the Beholder, you now get the Kindle version for free!

Free Kindle Book!

It's been a year since The Eye of the Beholder came out!

To celebrate, this weekend the Kindle version will be available free for download.  So if you haven't got it yet, now's the time to grab it!

It's been a very busy summer, (and early autumn!) but I promise updates on my other projects are coming soon!

Merry Christmas!

The last blog post of the year.  It’s both scary and exciting looking forward to what 2013 will bring.

I don’t think I could have imagined being able to hold my first book in paperback form when I started this path.  I partly still can’t.  Every time I pick it up I go “Wow, it looks like a real book!”

Of course the Kindle is what started it all, and if you are one of those lucky people getting one for Christmas, please do check out the first story of The Eye of the Beholder for free!

I want to say thanks to everyone who has supported me on this crazy career path so far.  I hope you enjoy the fantasy novel as much as you’ve enjoyed the sci fi stories!  The word count currently stands at 31539, plus a lot more world history and drawings of maps in other documents.  It’s really beginning to flesh out!  As a teaser for things to come, here is a preview of part of the world!

Finally I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and (whether you celebrate Christmas or not), I wish you happiness and hope for a peaceful and prosperous new year!

Off to a flying start!

Wow, I was amazed with the response to Santa in Space. 

647 downloads worldwide over five days!

Thanks everyone for sharing the story, and for your comments and feedback.  (Including the one about the typo – I will do an update to fix that!)

The free days on Amazon have ended, but you can still read it for free here.  I’ll also leave the Kindle version up at the lowest price possible, in case you would like to download it to keep. (Of course, if you are on Amazon Prime, you can still get it free!)

With my Christmas project all done and dusted, I’m going to spend the whole of the next week focused on the novel.  I’ll have a final update of the year for you next week, before the Christmas break.

In the meantime, please do keep sharing the stories with anyone you think will enjoy them!

I got you a present…

Now it’s December, we are officially allowed to talk about Christmas.  The lights are up, everything is looking nice and sparkly…

But oh no!  What to get people for a gift?

How about a lovely paperback copy of “The Eye of the Beholder”? 

Yes, it is finally in paperback form!  

Not only that, the Kindle version has been updated to match the paperback; so those pesky typos will vanish with an update!

And as if that isn’t enough, because it’s the season of giving, I wrote a nice Christmas story for you all. 

You can read "Santa in Space" online, or get it free on your Kindle, as from Sunday the 9^th, until Thursday the 13^th December!

A Halloween Sci-fi Story!

The ship’s hull loomed up out of the darkness, their spotlights sliding over the pallid metal, momentarily bringing the husk to life before moving away to return it into the cold black.

“No response to any hails.”  Kat peered at the freighter.  “It looks old.  I wonder how long it’s been out here?”  

“Not that long.”  Mike swivelled around in his chair, and tossed a flip chart over.  “It is an old ship, but it’s been on active duty.  I matched the registration to a Mirage company freighter that was returning from the system a few days ago.  The Amazon.  Should be able to get a bounty off them for its return.”

“Okay.  We’d better head over and check out the damage.  See if we can find out what happened to the crew.” 

“We should wait.”  Robert had remained quiet up until now, just starting at the ghostly wreck on the screen. 

“What for?”  

“Do you know what the date is?” 

“Yeah.  Star date four one-“ Mike started, but Robert waved a hand.

“No, no.  I mean the proper date. On Earth.” 

“I guess that depends where you are…”

“It’s the thirty first of October.”  He glared at Kat. 

“So?”

“Halloween.  The night when the barrier between the living and the dead is at its weakest.”

The silence stretched out. 

“You’re joking, right?”  Mike started to laugh.  “Does Halloween even count in space?”

“Of course it does.  You think ghosts care if they are in space or not?”

“Seriously Rob, we’ve got a job to do here.  If we don’t lay claim to this salvage someone else might get it.  And the faster we get it back, the higher a price we can drive.”  Kat got up and went to the door.  “I’m going to engineering to update Linda and Adam on our find.  We’ll go over an in an hour.”
