I finally get a Bookbub promotion approved because I said I’d give it away for free. Goes against my Taylor Swift-like instincts but I put it down as a marketing cost. I’m selling fuck all at the moment anyway, so profits aren’t going to be hit. (profits! lol!) I set a date and then log in

Self-Publishing: ‘In A Right State’ 1 Year Review
6 months ago I reviewed the progress of my debut self-published novel, ‘In A Right State‘, here. It weren’t pretty. The second half of the year didn’t go much better, in fact, probably worse. I’ve sold 11 copies over the last 6 months on Amazon, 27 in total for the year. I doubled the amount
‘In A Right State’ on iBooks, Nook, Kobo and more…
I’ve done my penance on Amazon KDP with pretty poor results so the next step was to spread my wings and get submitting to the other online retailers. The problem with this idea is that submitting to these sites would take time and is about as much fun as chicken pox. Fortunately, I’d met the people
Shortlisted for SFBook Book of the Year 2014
Well, this is a bit of a result. My debut novel, ‘In A Right State‘, has been shortlisted for the SFBook Book of the Year 2014! I got a good review from SFBook a few months ago but to be shortlisted by anyone, let alone a respected sci-fi book blogging site, is brilliant. A nice

Featured in Local Newspaper!
I was featured in the local newspaper, The Worthing Herald, for my stunt changing the ‘Welcome to Worthing’ signs. You can BUY my ebook on Amazon UK, here.
Welcome to #Wigthorn!
What’s going on?! Where the bloody hell is Wigthorn?! What happened to Worthing?! Don’t worry, you haven’t been transported into an alternate reality, you’re still in Worthing. But if you want to be transported into an alternate reality where Worthing is Wigthorn, the old pier is underwater, you have no privacy, satellites watch your every
‘In A Right State’ – Wins Book Cover Award!
What a result! The cover for ‘In A Right State’ won the Fiction Cover Award for self-published books over at The Book Designer for the month of July. Against some good competition too, but when I submitted it I had faith in Emery’s skills – my mate who designed it. If you want to utilise his skills
‘In A Right State’ gets some reviews!
‘In A Right State’ has finally garnered a couple of reviews and half decent ones too. Check them out on Amazon – a 3 star and a 4 star, I’m pretty happy with that for starters. Plus they’ve been posted on the reviewers own blogs and on GoodReads; Space and Sorcery The Review List I’m surprised by the
