And if you didn’t win but would like to try the books anyway…

This was going to be a ‘Hooray, Lulu are now allowing their writers to set their own discounts! Have 25% off the list price, to encourage you to buy the book even if you didn’t win it!’ post. The good news is, there are indeed discounts! The Maker’s Mask: Book One Of Requite in paperback […]

We’re all live and digital

Now seems as good a time as any to point out that if you buy the digital editions of the books they are pretty cheap. 🙂 I can totally understand not wanting to shell out £13 for a book by an unknown author (though a lot of that’s Lulu’s printing costs, and not anything I […]

Another money off code!

Lulu have sent me another money off code, this one only for The Hawkwood War – use coupon code FALLREAD305 at the checkout and get 15% off, offer ends 15 October.

Mummy, where do books come from?

This is going to sound ludicrously arrogant, given that I’m white, cisgendered, more or less able-bodied, and from a First World country: but when I look back at why I’ve started writing books, most of the time it’s because I’ve been irritated that the books that were already out there weren’t reflecting me. No, I […]

Book rec, and longer sample of The Maker’s Mask

I recently bought N.K Jemisin’s The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms because I’d read the first three chapters on the webpage and got hooked. (I would link to N.K Jemisin’s webpage, but it seems to have been hacked – it’s nkjemisin.com, anyway, and hopefully it’ll be back soon) I recommend The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms highly. N.K Jemisin […]

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 […]

People, we are approaching zero hour

One book is proofed and ready to go. I said to Peter last night ‘It looks like a real book!’ and he said ‘Could that be because it is a real book?’ in a sarcastic tone of voice. The other one I’m waiting on a proof copy of. (There will undoubtedly still be at least […]

Progress!

There is progress being made. Honest. The story so far: I thought I’d order a proof copy of The Maker’s Mask before I got into the whole trying to buy an ISBN thing. The proof copy arrived. I took one look at it and snatched it back from my husband saying ‘You can’t read this […]

A question and a statement

Firstly: dear WordPress, why make it so hard to find a login page when I accidentally log myself out? Leaving a comment on my own blog doesn’t work, and just leads to the Orwellian situation where the comment gets screened until I verify that I’m not a spammer and unscreen it. Secondly: dear people who […]
