I thought I would take a quick break from my holiday blogs as things are very exciting in the Stephen household. On Thursday I have my very first book-signing at Reasons Coffee Shop and Bookstore on the High Street at my nearest big town of Watford. I’ll be taking all of my paperbacks along… Continue reading A new cover for an older book for my first book-signing event!

Don’t make an advertisement of yourself
Everyone no doubt had phrases uttered to them when they were a child. Some of them made sense and many others didn’t seem to. Whether it was “having your leg pulled” or my Granddads “I’ve got a bone in me leg” which he said whenever he was asked to do something he didn’t want to… Continue reading Don’t make an advertisement of yourself
New book promo video & poems from Very Sad Poetry
A few weeks ago I released my new book, Very Sad Poetry.

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

Kindle vs iBooks or making waves in publishing
I’ve never been very good at promoting my books. Like many authors, it is not something that interests me or excites me. 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
