Writing the good fight and hopefully not writing wrongs!
Last updated SunJan1826
This is the sister website to Ian Wood's Novellum where I used to blog book reviews, but since I reached 5,000 reviews (give or take), I decided to retire from reviewing. I'm still reading; I'm just not gabbing about what I read anymore. The time I save on not reviewing any more books, I'll expend on more creative pursuits. I'm thinking-up ideas for stories far faster than ever I can write them so I really need the extra time. Either that or another six hands, three more brains, and three more computers.
Anyway: this is the place to come for updates on my novels, for rambling about writing them, for sneak peaks and sample chapters, and that's been taking shape. All of the children's, middle-grade, young adult, and adult-oriented novels I've written are available on Apple iBooks, Barnes and Noble, and Google books (hereinafter referred to as the Titular3). I refuse to do business with Amazon or with Kobo Books, so you will never find my novels there.
The next novel, a tongue-in-cheek horror story, breached 91,000 words this morning, so this means the finished version may well be close to 95k, perhaps even the 100. Yes, I know it keeps growing, but I'm almost at the end of it now. Another two or three chapters. I don't have a target length or word count for my stories. They tell themselves, once I've created the characters and set them in motion so I don't have a good idea exactly how it will go or precisely how it will end. Only the characters know that! That said, I'm still aiming for a January release.
On the topic of the Little Rattuses™, The Very Obstreperous Little Rattuses is now out there for free as usual.
Now I have to get back to writing! Writing! Writing! Keep your pencil up!
