Did you miss this sci fi series?
I must have complained a lot about how cold it is in Cambridge last time I wrote. A kind reader replied to recommend silk long johns (which I will definitely be trying). I'll try to steer clear of weather reports this week. I'm sure there are far colder places than...
Shadows of the Void audio recording
Hello from Cambridge After being the hottest place in the UK since records were kept this year, when temperatures reached 38.7 C on 26th July, Cambridge is now cooling rapidly. Last night the temperature dipped to 1 C, so nearly freezing. After eight years living in...
Some writing secrets
I’ll write the fourth Carrie Hatchett Christmas story soon. The entire collection of stories is to be your Christmas present from me! Even if you haven’t read any Carrie Hatchett books yet, I think you’ll love these light-hearted, seasonal stories.
Thank you!
What an adventure our starship has been on the last few days. Humanity’s Fight came out and zoomed up the rankings as the shipmates downloaded their copies. If you bought or borrowed a copy, thank you! If you missed out, Humanity’s Fight is at its shipmates’ discount for about another day. The link to the book is below.
New release!
This is my favourite type of ship’s bulletin. I’m proud and pleased to announce that Humanity’s Fight is live at Amazon. The epic adventure of Space Colony One continues. What’s more, Humanity’s Fight at your shipmates’ limited time discounted price of 99 cents or 99p!
Reader competition and free books!
One feature that’s proved very popular is reader competitions. See below for the latest competition.
This week’s bargain book is one of my own. Daughter of Discord is book one in my Star Mage Saga, and it’s free for just a couple of days.
Reader competition time!
Another reader competition!
The rules are the same as before. Which character in my books do you think this person reminds me of?
This is a tricky one. You will have to have read closely to know who this is. If no one gets it right I’ll post a clue.
Snippet from Humanity’s Fight
Humanity's Fight is nearly here! To whet your appetite I'm posting the first chapter. Something or someone is arriving at Concordia by unconventional means. But what or who is it? Chapter One The escape capsule was falling. The interior was tiny, accommodating only...
Publishing News Hot Off the Press
The publishing news is hot off the rollers! As I write this Humanity’s Fight is about 16 hours away from being ready to publish. What this means is, this is your last chance to receive your shipmate’s copy before the book goes live to the general public.
Competition winners and free books!
I have plenty of exciting news to share with you this week. I have last week’s competition winners, a very special free book, the latest on Space Colony One and a photo of Cambridge! You can see it at the bottom of this bulletin. The sunset was catching the chimney tops and turning them red-gold. I couldn’t resist taking a pic.
Competition Time!
Guess the Character Here's a picture of someone who looks like my mental image of a character in one of my books. If you correctly guess the character I'm thinking of (you only get one try) I'll send you one of my ebooks free of charge. You can choose from any of my...
It’s Coming! Humanity’s Fight, Space Colony One
But even more excitingly (if that isn’t a word I just made it one) I can finally announce the publication dates for Humanity’s Fight, Space Colony One. The Concordians continue to build their colony under the watchful, greedy eyes of the Scythians. What will happen when they return to claim their tribute? How can Cherry and the other colonists successfully defend their home?
