I’m afraid I’ve neglected this blog over the past two or
three months. I apologize for that, it wasn’t through lack of desire or lack of
ideas, more lack of time. I took my US
citizenship test a few weeks ago and tax season here in the USA is a very
trying time with my wife working long hours six days a week and me working
Saturdays in addition to my normal job. Thankfully that is over now so perhaps I can get back to some
serious writing.
One thing I did manage to get time for was to give "The
Lichfield Conspiracy" a complete re-write and the new edition is available in
paperback and e-book on Amazon at:
Meanwhile my weekly column in the Putnam Herald is now
approaching it’s sixth anniversary and “Cheating”, the fifth in the Dean and
Steph detective series is progressing slowly but surely as is the revision of “The
Prince’s Puzzle”, which I hope to have available by the summer.
One of my main problems with publishing my own books is the
cover picture. Sure, I can use free, public domain pictures but suitable ones
are very hard to find. So far I’ve been lucky, Guilty?, Weoley and Traitor all
have my own photographs on the front cover but now I’m stuck trying to find
something suitable for the cover of a seventeenth century English Civil War
detective novel. I could pay for a picture but my aim is to get my work out
there to as many people as possible, as cheaply as possible so I’ll keep trying.
And that brings me neatly to my last comment. In an effort
to reach as wide an audience as possible, “Guilty?”, the first book in the Dean
and Steph series, will be available free for e-readers on Amazon from Friday,
April 24 until Monday, April 27. If you would like a copy the link is below;
As usual, feedback and reviews are welcome. Happy reading until
next time
