Eat less. Read more. Be nicer to the person at work who picks their nose in public. You know, the usual New Year’s resolutions we all make. And break. And then kick ourselves over. Well, this year, I’ve made a solid. Namely, to write more and veg-out less. With the Read more…
Hello, my amazingly faithful Readers! Tomorrow is the big day: the official release of my 7th full-length novel, The Sky Riders. Even just ten years ago, had you told me that one day I’d not only publish a single novel over 100,000 words, but seven, I would have laughed in Read more…
