Reasons why you should buy my books

1) If you buy the file downloads, it’s pretty cheap! For the price of a posh coffee and a muffin, you can have something I’ve been working on since 2003. Has someone been working on that coffee and muffin since 2003? I sincerely hope not! 2) If you like my fanfic, it’s a lot like […]

Books are now on Lulu, Amazon listing coming soon

So, about half an hour after I posted that ‘the books are coming on Monday!’ post last Friday, my Internet went out. The engineer has just come to fix it, and as long as it isn’t the router (which it may well be) it seems to be fixed for now, and I’ve managed to get […]

Publication date: Monday 13 September 2010

I have the proof of The Hawkwood War, and it looks OK! However, I also have a D&D game to finish prepping for this weekend, and I want to have another go at trying to figure out Lulu’s pricing structure. So, to give myself a window to deal with that in, the books will be […]

Borrowing hero names from inappropriate places

A lot of Requite’s backstory got put in place just so that I could justify calling my hero Latinus Malabranca. I originally ran across the name in, I think, a Penguin History of the Church: it belonged to a cardinal, and I promptly swiped it and gave it to a vampire in the Vampire: The […]
