In the life of a writer sometimes lots of things happen all at once (and sometimes nothing happens at all). Here is my mini blog: I jot down my thoughts whenever I get a free minute.

27^th June 2012

So, today is the big day! THE DECALOGUE should be available to download on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBookstore, Kobo, Sony, eBookPie and so on..... It's the end (or is it the start?) of two years work. Anyway, looking forward to what you all think.

 So, today was quite surreal. I have been in India all week; and I have been sat in a sports bar in Indira Gandhi International Airport outlining the plot for my next book - never thought I would say those words!

The 9 hour flight home was interesting; don't know about you but I cannot sleep on anything that moves - car, train, plane. I spent the time fleshing out the characters and plot for the next book; so it was time well spent I think.

How many times do you edit your work? Go over and over until you're happy with it.

I have delayed the launch of The Decalogue as I wasn't quite happy with it. I started a fourth edit (yes 4th !!!) and so far my review and edit has added a further 2000 words - so something must have been missing!

I do plan to finish this edit within the next few days and am looking to share with you all perhaps early May.

Thanks for your messages in recent weeks

Today's pearl of wisdom that I have come across is:.......Making excuses is the second easiest thing in the world to do. Giving up is the easiest, and most common.

I would like to attribute this quote to someone, but I don't know the origin.

Started to thing about my book cover today. I think that I have found a photo image that will work really well.....we'll see!!

As soon as I have a draft to share I will post it here online.

That's all today. Just a quick one....

Got to be honest...spent a lot of time of the website today. Don't dare say you cannot see the difference !!!

Look, it's new and it needs a good few hours of content addition, review, iteration before it's half way decent, but its getting there.

Thanks for our messages of support. I'm aware that my Twitter account pointed you all towards my website, which hadn't really been constructed to provide you with any information - we're sorting it, give us a week or three. Tnx
