November - Updates From A Writer's Life

My third novel The Anniversary is due to go on sale in December which means at the moment I'm deep into the editing process.

Getting Ready for Publication

With the major edit over, it's time to turn my thoughts to getting my second book Ulterior Motives ready for publication. This time I'm hoping that I can release both a print copy and the e-book on the same day, hopefully by the end of April.

The front cover is ready thanks to the input of my cover designer Jonny Gillard who is a fabulous young artist and a pleasure to work with. He managed to take a few vague pointers from me about the novel and turn them into what you see above, save for some minimal changes. I was just amazed when I saw the first version as he has captured the feel of the story, a tale of an expatriate who is kidnapped while on vacation in the Philippines, not only with the picture but also with the colors he used.
