New paperback!
For the first time ever there’s a paperback edition of ‘Family Business’ available for those who prefer ‘real’ books. And if you like ebooks too, you can have the best of both worlds, for a limited time. If you buy … Continue reading

A Kind of – Ending?
At long last! After almost two years, every one of my out-of-print back titles has at last been scanned, edited, sometimes revised, and finally converted to ebook format. All 19 of them are now launched in the Kindle store, along … Continue reading

Writer’s Block
It all comes back to me now. It’s not just the story you revisit when you edit a novel for conversion to an ebook. It’s also the emotions, thoughts, experiences, everything that was tied up with the writing of it. … Continue reading
‘A Thread of Gold’
Well, I’ve given in. Faced with 650 plus pages to scan and edit, I found I just couldn’t face it. Nor, I felt, could my scanner. By the end of scanning ‘Candle in the Dark’ the cover of my printer … Continue reading
