I have an opportunity to make case hardcover editions of my books available. Which sounds fantastic…if you like hardcovers! There’s an image of a case hardcover book, above. They’re the hardcovers that have the cover image printed right onto them, instead of onto a loose cover wrap (and I *hate* those!). Of course, the hardcovers

I’ve been busy! I’ve also been a bit quiet, apart from BookFunnel promo news, but I managed to get a new series developed while I was heads-down. Actually, it’s a spin off from the Magorian & Jones series. So, first off, cover reveal! I really like the cover. It’s got lots of attitude. Here be

Unlike a lot of paranormal phenomenon, myths and fantasies, Doppelgängers have only been around for just over two centuries, yet the name is firmly entrenched in the English language and western society. We often refer to people who share similar physical appearances as someone’s Doppelgängers. Doppelgängers were the invention of Jean Paul, an eighteenth century
It’s 100% for sure that you buy your ebooks from one of the four big retailers; Amazon, Apple, B&N or Kobo. But do you only buy your books on one of those stores? A great many readers won’t consider buying a book anywhere else but their retailer. There’s a ton of reasons why they won’t,
This is a continuation of the It’s just a Job series. Fairies, or the Fae, have multiple sources within mythology, and come in a vast range of shapes and sizes, from small pixie-type creatures to human-sized ones, from fair to ugly, to human in guise, to demonic-looking. Fairies can come with wings or without them,
