Contemporary Fiction

Fancy reading something new?  Something challenging and exciting?
Have a look at the range of stories available on my amazon author page.
There contemporary fiction to suit most tastes with clever plots and interesting characters.
Horror, crime, inspiration, comedy and hope are all to be found in the pages of my work.
Ideas that have been developed into a range of stories that are written for the 21st century.
From Legally Lucky to Obsession of the Damned and all in between...
Download, read and imagine.

Judging by the steady growth of the readership, my books are being enjoyed by more people every week... In digital and paperback format

Writing books - Challenging

Writing books is an ongoing hobby for me.
The story teller within me has loads to impart.
Ideas flow and I try to capture these thought bubbles into words.
The next step is to arrange the random plethora of words and ideas into a rational and flowing stream.
Once this is done, review the flow and see if it makes sense, is it engaging? Is the story working as well as it did in my head?
Next steps are getting the editing done, the cover work, the publishing and all the rest of the stuff that goes with it.
In-between all this, there are several interruptions to the work flow... the phone, work, life!!!

My aim is to one day write a book in a few days. Something contemporary in a genre that will lead to more sales but more importantly, more readers getting familiar with my work.
I think I have written 4 pieces that are contemporary and innovative. Four books that will challenge the readers imagination and novels that will stand out.

Having written and published 4 books (Legally Lucky, Mental Dental, Phobic Wars and Phantasms in the Infirmary .. all available on Amazon by the way..) the challenge remains marketing them.
As a self published author, the demands on my time are many.
I cannot seem to spare the time to go on book signings, tours and more time on social media promoting them!

Here is the link to them.... RPG Books
I hoped that the books would be discovered and enjoyed by many more people than what the results are.
Disappointing as it can be, its a labour of love and not a business.
I remain resolute that they will be seen, read, enjoyed and shared among many people.
One aspires to getting a book into film... and from these, there are possibilities that could one day become film... especially Mental Dental (Murder by Proxy). This was an exhilarating ride to write it and a blooming good read
In the meantime, I continue to writ more stories, have more ideas and even more interruptions!!!
Such is life eh!

Enjoy your day and if you need a break from the mundane or a challenge to your day, download a copy of one of my novels and read on.

When you do, please share your reviews and thanks in anticipation.

All the best

Stories from the heart

Writing a book is a marvelous experience.
The inception of the idea is paramount followed by the incentive to complete the project for the right reasons.
My reasons are not financial...  The drive is the desire to write a decent book with a great tale behind it.

Having had no formal training on writing,  one learns as one goes along with the hope of attaining a decent and interesting / captivating style.

Legally Lucky through to Phantasms in the Infirmary,  I can see the style change and confidence in my ability to share and projects evolution.

They are original,  contemporary and gripping.

I hope you can appreciate the aims of the book and forgive some of my maverick mistakes,  enjoying the tales and their meaningful results?

Enjoy

King of Horror

After publishing Phantasms in the Infirmary, as it is horror, one could boast at aspiring to be in the same conversations about authors such as Edgar Alan Poe or Steven King.
One day maybe, you never know?

They are my favourite horror writers. Poe, was the king of horror.

Steven King is a modern Poe and much more contemporary. 

Some of his work is exemplary and the stuff of myths....
Books like: IT, CARRIE, SALEMS LOT, DREAM CATCHER, SKELETON CREW and of course THE SHINING. 


Even the movie adaptations are SCARY!! IT for example still freaks me out.. This is one of the freaky scenes...

Scary Twins!!!
.

What’s your favourite King or Poe story, poem, or essay? What do you make of the authors?

In the meantime, read Phantasms in the Infirmary, enjoy it, share your experience and PLEASE  write a review
