So, audible books are now available through Amazon music subscriptions (and presumably prime) This is obviously good news for authors with audio versions of their books As I only have one such book, you should listen to it to encourage me to do more #steampunk www.amazon.co.uk/Lucifer-Mand...

Sold out of a spider in the eye at the event this morning and had to order more copies on my phone as I have another event next week #writer problems

As I was asked about the rules again 1. Avoid Alliteration. Always. 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3. Avoid cliches like the plague. They’re old hat. 4. Comparisons are as bad as cliches. 5. Be more or less specific. 6. Writers should never generalise. Seven. Be consistent.

Just because frankly its a far better review that I could image getting for a book I can't even categorize, and I wrote it dark contemporary emotional thriller... possibly #readers #books #author (some say your should write to a market... I have never listened to them)

In my never ending game of putting obscure references in my novels to other authors work Miss Bastable who's brother Oswald has disappeared, is a newly bitten, soon to be wolfwoman* and has just said "How remarkable!" so that is two obscure refences for the price of one

today I will mostly be dealing with the large chronologically misplaced prehistoric Cephalopod in the Thames, rather than the thin man or the wolfman its all going conspicuously well

I am doing author things in one of the dark places beyond the mountains (the lands of the red rose) at the end of the month I'll be doing a talk on Lovecraft to avoid having to read aloud there will be other authors, doing talks about their books and lots of papery things tied up with string

done a full wrap cover from scratch for the first time ever I am proud of myself #books

This will be the cover for Lucifer Mandrake & the Esoteric Cricket Ball 2nd edition (a couple of quirks to this beyond the cover that need to be ironed out and a 2nd edition is the best way to get around them.) 1st edition and cover will remain available for a short time #booksky #books #reads

Ernest of Hanover I hate you with earnest. (this may be because I am re-editing the Lucifer novel and fixing a particularly virulent typo to that snuck through the first time. Or I may just dislike the late king of Hanover)
