With a Heavy Heart

I'm sad to announce that the five books which were due to be published this year by Steel Waves Publishing will not be appearing as planned. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Steel Waves have been unable to produce the books as per their schedule and have agreed to release me from my contract with them. This of course is an honorable thing to do but of course I must now begin the task of attempting to find other ways of getting the books before the public.



I thank everyone at Steel… Continue

'A Study in Red' Hits London Bookstores!

I've just found out that 'A Study in Red' has at last made its first inroads into the UK bookstores. Waterstones, who had until recently been selling the book purely through their online retail store, Waterstones.com, are now showing stock of the book as being available in their Camden High Street (Low stock level) and Gower Street (Medium stock level), stores in London. As I personally had nothing to do with them placing the book in their stores,… Continue

Amendment to last Blog post (oops)

For some reason, (namely my own stupidity) I completely left out the body of the text from my last Blog post 'Another Interview Thanks to 'A Study in Red'. I'm sorry if this confused anyone and I've now edited and amended the post so that it appears as it should.
