Just in time for Halloween, I’ve got a bit of historical true to life gore to share with all of you lovely innocents, and a lovely suggestion for a fascinating read. I recently designed three covers for author Stephen Liddell. I prefer to read the books I make covers for…

My New Book – Very Sad Poetry
I’m delighted today to be able to announce the release of my first ever book of poems, Very Sad Poetry. I felt very strongly that there are a great deal of poetry books on happy subjects of love, friendship and the good things in life but very little for the many people who suffer… Continue reading My New Book – Very Sad Poetry
Edith Cavell – Patriotism Is Not Enough
Many of us are familiar with the phrase “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel”, a quote that remains as true today as it was when it was first coined and is still evident by many politicians in particular around the world. Not so many people though are familiar with the equally if not… Continue reading Edith Cavell – Patriotism Is Not Enough
Using Pinterest for Authors and Bloggers
Recently I became more aware of the social media platform Pinterest. I must admit that I don’t have much time for Social Media both figuratively and literally. Self promotion isn’t my thing and I’m generally too busy to complete what I want to do in my life let alone look at many others. I… Continue reading Using Pinterest for Authors and Bloggers
I have my first book signing!
So the big news on the happiness front this week is that I have been offered my very first book-signing. I didn’t have to beg or grovel or anything like I expected I might have to do or lets face it, be prepared to do. It’s not in London’s Oxford Street or New York’s Time… Continue reading I have my first book signing!
Kindle vs iBooks or making waves in publishing

I like writing, I like making sales and I love receiving reviews but I’m not so keen on that section in between called self-promotion. I feel much like those famous actors or musicians… Continue reading Kindle vs iBooks or making waves in publishing
History needn’t be torture!
Just over a week ago I wrote here on my new book 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History which has had its most successful first week of sales of all my books save for one. Obviously there are quite a few sick and twisted people out there who like a light hearted look at history!… Continue reading History needn’t be torture!
101 Most Horrible Tortures In History (my new book!)
Today is a big day for me, I’m launching my new book on Kindle and Paperback formats! 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History takes a wry look at history, torture and bizarre punishments of times past and just a bit of the present so that we can thank our lucky stars that none of this is… Continue reading 101 Most Horrible Tortures In History (my new book!)
My latest news!
I hope this post find everyone well. We’re already in mid-April and so far this year I haven’t posted any updates on what I’m doing and my various projects which superficially might give the impression that I’m rather busy. Actually I am rather busy with my blog, writing and my tours. I don’t know about… Continue reading My latest news!
Making Book Promo Videos
The more observant of you may have noticed this blog post is a day or two later than normal. Partly this is because I’ve been a bit unwell and partly it is because I have been very busy making some book promotional videos. Book promotional videos are a relatively new tool in the authors ever… Continue reading Making Book Promo Videos
