THE NEW BOOK Its a big one – 145000 words!!! Up now on Amazon as ebook and paperback. In a nutshell – it’s about a reincarnated 17yr old who solves crimes with astral projection. A slightly longer explanation would be – 1946 – OKINAWA “So, now I can explain more.” Mim refreshed his tea andContinue reading “THE SILVER PATH & THE GOLDEN BELL”

I’ve added 9000 words to this book and republished this morning. The extra is called Debts Paid and is mostly the Zhinkeans backstory plus quite a bit of Vicky Jones – hope you enjoy. Extract – The Zhinkean homeworld, ZhaaaGeel, is an unaffiliated planet near the tip of the second galactic arm. It is classifiedContinue reading “THE TRAVEL AGENCY – 3rd Edition”

This popped into my head for no particular reason and I thought I would throw it out there and see if anyone thought it had merit. “Palmer, James Palmer.” PREMISE Jimmy was burning out in his final year of med school and his professor convinced him to take a year off and recommended a 6-monthContinue reading “NCIS – Idea”

It’s been pouring rain here for several days and the sun has finally come out. Bit of a relief for no real reason, we needed the rain, but it does tend to slow things down. Part 4 of The Silver Path project just went to the editor and should have that back in a weekContinue reading “RANDOM STUFF AFTER A RAINY DAY”

I’ve decided to publish this story as a novel rather than a series of novellas, hence the indulgence of designing a cover. This is a work in progress but I’m quite happy with in at this stage. The pitch remains the same; REINCARNATED SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD WHO SOLVES CRIMES WITH ASTRAL PROJECTION. Final editing isContinue reading “THE NEXT BOOK”

Books 1 & 2 of the series are now available at the Amazon Kindle Store and in paperback. Promo deals are due in a few days. In a nutshell – The MULTIVERSE, reincarnation, astral projection, global conspiracies and a genuine AI. What more could you want? This is the first in a series of fiveContinue reading “THE SILVER PATH BEGINS”

Binge watched first ten episodes over the last few days (late November). Really enjoyed it with only a minimal purview of the comics and anime (Google, Wikipedia, wiki). It’s a mashup, no arguments there but some of the online critics are getting very intense in their nitpicking (looking at you, James Whitbrook). So much soContinue reading “COWBOY BEBOP – THOUGHTS”

In a rush of enthusiasm across August/September I have finished the first draft of the second Silver Path novella. I’m sitting on it now for a few weeks before I start polishing and its off to the editor (Zoe Markham) in November. The story just took off after a little outlining and didn’t exactly writeContinue reading “THE SILVER PATH CONTINUES”

Book 1, a novella has come back from the editor (Markham Correct) and I think we might have a project. Zoe’s (Markham) sharp eye has picked up my usual stumbles and pointed out some logical missteps but overall it ‘intrigued’ her. I’ll take intrigued any day of the week. My concerns were that I wasContinue reading “THE SILVER PATH & THE GOLDEN BELL – Progress Report”

Something to wet the whistle or tickle the fancy depending on your metaphor preferences. Its from the new project which at this stage, 10,000 words in, looks like being a series of novellas. WARNING – Strong-ish language. “This is a bit seedy.” “About what you’d expect from a chop shop,” answered the young man besideContinue reading “NEW PROJECT – THE SILVER PATH – ONGOING”
