I am not a morning person, though my body always tries to tell me that I am. When I was working for a big corporation that shall go unnamed, I had a friend who had worked shifts for many years and he used to speak about how he had difficulty sleeping. I sympathized, but I did not have any experience, so I could not do much empathizing with him. Somehow in the years since, my own sleeping has suffered to…
Those who have been following this blog may have noticed a lack of activity lately. For that, I will take the blame upon myself, for my two partners have recently found themselves in situations that do not allow them time to contribute to the blog. Until that changes, I am the guy. Though I have proven in the past that I struggle a little when it comes to blogging, I will give it the old college try! For today, I…
For today’s post, I thought I would do a bit of a recap of recent audiobook releases and what is coming in the future. I tend to focus much less on audiobooks, and there is a specific reason for it. Once I provide Tantor with the manuscript, they run with it and do everything else. By contrast, as an independent author, I handle all aspects of the process for eBook and physical formats, though of late I have farmed out…
The process of coming up with new ideas, even for books based on Pride and Prejudice is one I do not find all that difficult. As I have written more than fifty of these, I must assume that most of those out there reading this will understand that. There are so many different ideas to explore, so many instances where if a different path had been taken the ending (and indeed the middle and even the beginning if you go back…
Now seems like a propitious time to do a post about the release of Saving Anne de Bourgh, which goes on sale tomorrow. The release of Four Days at Netherfield was a little under a month ago, meaning I will have two new books out in a short time frame. Usually I would not do this, but Saving Anne de Bourgh is also an audiobook release, and I did not have any control over the release date. It was unfortunately delayed a couple…
As promised, Bingley’s Indignation is now available on Amazon Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Paperback, with a Hardcover version to follow. If you have not already seen it, here is the cover, the blurb, and a link to the book. Enjoy! Trouble between friends erupts when Fitzwilliam Darcy informs his friend, Charles Bingley about his complicity in keeping him away from Miss Jane Bennet the previous winter. Darcy, determined to be honest with his friend, never considered the possibility that Bingley, mild-mannered…
I haven’t done an excerpt in some time, so I thought today would be the perfect day for one. My new novella Bingley’s Indignation is scheduled for release next Thursday, February 8 on Kindle, with paperback and hardcover versions available. This story explores what might have changed had Charles Bingley taken offense upon learning that Darcy did not inform him of Jane’s presence in London, rather than forgiving him as was his wont. This particular excerpt relates a possible solution to…
Last week I posted about a new title I was releasing called Only Exceedingly Shy. Now I finally have the cover (just in time!) so I thought I would do a reveal. Here it is in all its glory!
As you read in the title, I have a new book that will be available for sale on Thursday, November 16. The book is entitled Only Exceedingly Shy, and will be available on Amazon Kindle, Paperback, and Hardcover, with an audiobook to follow in about March of next year. I would also like to announce a change, as Only Exceedingly Shy will be narrated by the talented Harry Frost! I wish I had a cover to show you, but as usual, I…
Isn’t it funny how time flies? It doesn’t seem like ten years since I published my first book, but I recently passed that milestone. September 1, 2013, was when I published Acting on Faith, my first novel. I’ve come a long way since then, now with more than 50 books published. That journey, and the one in which I am still engaged, has taken my life in a different direction from anything I might have expected. This past summer, I knew…
