Three of my ebooks
which were previously exclusive to Amazon Kindle are going to
available for all ebook readers. The Leather and the Flesh is
available now at Smashwords and all major ebook sellers, with
Midnight Screening and Wild West Hero following over
the next few days.
Over the summer I've
been working on my third collection of short stories. The project is
going really well with 11 stories complete. Because I'm aiming for a
paperback as well as ebook release for this set, it's going to be
longer than Bedtime Stories or Body Language.
Depending on length the finished book will contain between 13 to 15
stories. So far the shortest story is around 2500 words and the
longest 10000. So there's a lot of scope and variety. I'm still not
ready to share the title until the book is finished – I've come the
conclusion that there's something in that old writers superstition
about jinxing a project by talking about it too soon.
I've also (finally)
come round to thinking about The Chain. As you know I've been
toying with the idea of an ebook release for my old 2003 novel but
haven't have the balls to look at it. I once thought I might rewrite
the entire novel and put out a brand new edition but I'd much rather
spend my time working on new stories than revisiting old ones. The
Chain was originally published to the very tight deadline. I had
six weeks to write and edit it for publication. What came out was
little more than a polished first draft. So rather than completely
rewrite the book as I once thought, I've decided not to change it but
give it the through second draft I didn't have time for in 2003. I'm
looking at a very loose publication date of late 2014/early 2015. I
kind of fell out of love with The Chain for a long time but
I'm beginning to look back on it with more affection and feeling
those old passions stir.
