The perils of being a UK author

23/05/2013

The subtitle of this blog post should be: Why isn't Amazon being more helpful?My blog post on reviews last week prompted an interesting comment on Twitter from Peggy Rose Parker.

First Time Reviewers (or are their reviews valid?)

16/05/2013

In August last year, I wrote a blog post about why I don't leave negative reviews for books. Apparently, some people agree with my point of view. Then a couple of days ago, I found a post via Twitter, on The Masquerade Crew's blog about a 1 star review that had been left on Amazon.

Friday Snippet - Deleted Scene

Friday Snippets - Deleted Scene

26/04/2013

Sorry this week's snippet is so late. Today's snippet is from the same scene I've been posting for the last few weeks, but doesn't quite follow straight on from last week. If you recall, Nidan ended up in a deer trap, which Skaric saved him from.

Friday Snippets - Deleted Scene

19/04/2013

It's Friday again (and I'm pretty glad it is!). I'm going to continue where I left off last week's deleted sceneĀ from my YA Fantasy novel, Trinity. If you recall, Nidan wasn't exactly grateful to Skaric for getting him out of the deer trap safely.
