Paperback copies have arrived

Feeling really pleased with the fantastic paperback copies of my book which arrived today. Chose a glossy cover having gone for matt previously and it looks fantastic. Great cover art from David Smith as well. Not sure if the 1.5 spacing was best or 1.15 should have been used. The latter would have reduced printing cost. Never happy am I! #proud

The Egg is available now

Really pleased to announce that my new book The Egg, is available to order in ebook (via the Kindle or Kindle iPhone/Android app) and paperback from Amazon here.  You can download the first two chapters as a free sample.

At just under 200 pages it's a good read for children heading towards or having started high school, but should be enjoyable enough for adults too.  It follows the adventures of two 11 year old boys as they are enrolled on an unexpected hunt for The Egg by their mysterious new form tutor.  With a tense ending I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

If anyone would like a personalised copy, just contact me through this blog.

2020 Plans

A brief update on 2020 plans.  I've been struggling to get any writing done over Christmas and the new year and am quite busy in my day job at the moment.

I do have two books in progress though:

1. The sequel to Theo and the Aliens, Theo and Ollie in the Moon, which I'm hoping to illustrate in a similar way to the Christmas Visitor.  I'm also working on a new cover for Theo and the Aliens and hoping to issue an illustrated version as well at some point.
2. I have a more hard hitting Science Fiction novel under way too, as a brief spoiler there is an in-depth road accident early on it....!  No idea when this will get finished as it is feeling like it may be lengthy.

Finally, but most importantly I have an artist working on a cover for The Egg and once this is complete I will be releasing that on Kindle, paperback and hopefully will get an Audible audiobook released too.  It's just under 200 pages long, so technically a novella, but as it is aimed at being suitable for younger high school readers, I am a firm believer in writing shorter novels so they are not so daunting.  I also have a number of spin off ideas from this too, so expect some sequels too...

Happy New Year to everyone who has read my books and thank you for your support of a new author.
