Working my way through all the final edits of Cut In Half. Every part of this book has been handled a little differently to the earlier three and I’m not rushing any of it. It has taken longer to fit in what I am doing around everything else but the end goal is what I’m…
Happy New Year to everyone. I’ve been busy working in my agency throughout the holiday period, setting up a bunch of new things ready for this year.
I skipped Nov but here’s my update for the last 1.5 months.
I’ve had the last two weeks to myself, including being away on a road trip in Northern NSW, Australia… why? because Cut In Half is with my editor. That’s exciting news I know! Of course now I get to sit here and stress about what it will come back like, how much editing I’ll need…
Very much deep in the editing of Cut In Half, although I did manage to fit in time to release The In All Jest World Free Ebook. I’m over 1/3 of the way through the editing process, my first part of it, before it goes off to my developmental editor. I know I need to…

About 1 week from finishing the first draft of Cut In Half, Book A in the In All Jest World series. Then I’ll be straight into editing it with a two-month turnaround on that before getting to my editors. The goal is to have that published later this year while writing Book 4 in the…
Spire of Fool’s was published in February which was followed by a short break.
It’s time to release the cover for Book 3 in the In All Jest series, Spire Of Fools. Unlike the first two books this cover only came together recently. It took the amazing skills of my designers in my web agency to help produce the background image, which is an illustration of Midderbuilt, from within…
In my view, there’s no worse time than the period between sending off a manuscript to your editor and when you receive it back. Due to the deadline and human’s being good at always needing every last minute to complete such a thing, you are invariably very busy up to the end. Then it just…
Oops this is almost like a 6 month update. At the begining of this week the manuscript for Book 3 of the In All Jest series, now named Spire Of Fools, was sent off to my editor. It came in around 260,000 words, which no doubt will get a little trimming, but was pretty on…
