A bit late sharing this review of my Mind Rubble short stories! 4.0 out of 5 starsWell worth a read 21 January 2018 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase Mind bending is the word. A fairly random set of stories that are well worth a read. Some curious takes on God (any god) and the biblical stories. The author’s mind is difficult to read – goodness knows where any sequels might take...

It’s the journey that counts! I’ve been retired for three years now and having more free time has allowed me to do more writing. One novel but now mainly short stories and poetry, although I have just completed a novella, which is in the formatting and editing stage as of this blog. My writing will never make me rich or famous but 45+ years of working hard, climbing the management ladder and giving up family life has provided me with a comfortable retirement and getting my life back has opened up opportunities to give some time to helping those less fortunate. In my case, helping means giving three mornings a week to distributing supermarket ‘waste’ food to schools, food banks and other charities.

My novel, Puppet Messiah has been refreshed and given the new title of ‘The Sulla Conspiracy – Volume 1 – Messiah. This was given a short period of free downloading on Kindle and shifted 20 copies but no reader reviews as yet. A controlled Amazon marketing campaign is under consideration, probably in July 2018. My first volumes of short stories and poems are also on Kindle and, depending on the outcome of marketing The Sulla Conspiracy, will also be promoted. I have two new short stories part finished and am a another 10 poems into creating volume 2....

A big day today as I have finally managed to update my novel, short stories (volume 1) and poems (volume 1) onto my web site pages and links to Kindle all work. I’m ready to go live! Two new short stories are underway as is volume 2 of my...

Well my promise to complete my tasks re updating my profile and publishing is under way. Just uploaded my first short story collection to Kindle (with help from my mate and novel co-author Keith). Should be live in next 48 hours! And, I managed to change my profile...
