That enormous 165,000 word epic I tweeted about as I wrote it JUST cracked the top 100 'Occult Suspense' bestsellers on Amazon UK. (It's a preorder. Release is November 11)

Started on Harriet Walsh #5 tonight, 2000 words in already. Just as well I knocked off that 7000 words to finish Hal 11 earlier today ;-)

The new Harriet Walsh novel (WIP) has exploded into life. I've taken a murder plot for a contemporary crime novel I was going to write, and made it a Peace Force novel instead. Probably 1/100th the potential audience, but 100x the enjoyment for me.

"Best Hal Spacejock Novel Yet", declares Hal Spacejock author. Seriously though, I'm having fun. (No bias detected)

Just a reminder - I wouldn't download yWriter from anywhere but the official site (spacejock.com) as someone showed me a github link earlier with an unauthorised copy (probably a trojan), all my artwork, help files, etc. I mean FFS, yWriter is freeware.

I just put 2kg of chicken strips in the dehydrator, and my dog will now sit there guarding it for the next 18 hours.

My WIP, The Crooked Cargo is going rather well. #amwriting Also, I seem to have qualified for another Featured Deal with Bookbub, this one for A Riddle in Bronze. (Paranormal Suspense)

Hal Spacejock 11: The Crooked Cargo is coming along fantastically well. 23,000 words in 6 days, 35k to go. And I'm laughing myself silly writing it. The plot works, the characters are great, the stakes are higher than ever. It's nice when a long series still has legs.

For 32 years I've been writing novels about smart, patient AI and the thick, self-destructive humans making a mess out of the planet and all of our lives. Now the AI is beginning to appreciate the joke. Look out.

Draft/work in progress/etc. I like to mess about with the covers while I'm writing the novel.

Nothing like finishing the last chapter of your novel in the morning and setting up the preorder in the afternoon. Indie publishing is great. amazon.com/dp/B0HLVKDN52 kobo.com/au/en/ebook/a-conun… play.google.com/store/books/… books.apple.com/us/book/a-co… barnesandnoble.com/w/a-conun…
