Just a quick update to say that both Bad People and Labyrinth of the Dolls are now available in hardback through Amazon. It’s been a goal of mine to see my work in hardback form so I’m really pleased. Yes, they are little more expensive than paperback and Kindle, but if you’re like me, IContinue reading “Hardbacks”

My Prometheus
It’s been a while, but the lack of an update is a fair reflection on my productivity. I’m of the opinion that writers can get too caught up in committing more words to social media than they do their books. It’s an opinion that isn’t very popular, and/or is frowned upon by literary hustlers outContinue reading “My Prometheus”
What’s the Future of Indie Publishing?
Last year I did something I thought I’d never do; self publish a book. And I did it because I am scared of the publishing industry. That’s not an admission of fear toward rejection. Rejection is expected in the writing world. To think otherwise is delusional. No, this is more a fear of where publishingContinue reading “What’s the Future of Indie Publishing?”
Why Writing in a Genre You Hate Might One Day Pay Off
My wife reads a lot of thriller books. And I mean a lot. On our bookshelf, next to the likes of Stephen King, William Peter Blatty, Max Brooks and Jonathan Janz, are such authors as David Baldacci, Clive Cussler, and Chris Carter to name a few. I never cared for those authors, but as IContinue reading “Why Writing in a Genre You Hate Might One Day Pay Off”
BAD PEOPLE IS FREE!
Comparisons to Se7en, The Silence of the Lambs, Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and True Detectives have all been made. It’s seen praise and left readers wondering why it’s not on a bestseller list. But truly, BAD PEOPLE, the first book in the Tom Nolan series, was nothing more than an experiment. I don’t enjoyContinue reading “BAD PEOPLE IS FREE!”

Happy Birthday to me…
I gained a year overnight. I don’t feel any older. It’s not like I woke up and the lines around my eyes were more prominent. It’s not like my knees or back aches any less than they did yesterday. But I am, as my birth certificate contests, 48 years young. To mark the occasion todayContinue reading “Happy Birthday to me…”
Halloween Recommendations
It’s that time of the year again where people across the world want the willies put up them. No, I’m not talking about National Sex Day (which is apparently a thing and is on June 9th, in case you wish to prepare now). Yes, it’s Halloween, that very special spooky part of the year whereContinue reading “Halloween Recommendations”
New artwork for HEART OF GLASS
I’m a fickle beast. Having seen the proof copies of Heart of Glass, I decided that the electronic version I created didn’t transfer well to print. Hey, that’s why we have proofs, right? Anyhoo, I’ve been busy as a bee putting together a different design based on the same image. Here’s the result… Here’s theContinue reading “New artwork for HEART OF GLASS”
