Print books and e-books and where on earth does the time go
I stumbled across a really interesting infographic the other day:http://ebookfriendly.com/2012/12/05/ebooks-print-books-coexist-infographic/ Well, it's interesting if you like data and pictures. Luckily I like both of those things. It's about print books and e-readers (a subject that I wrote about what seems like a little while ago but which I now realise was over a flippin' year… Continue reading Print books and e-books and where on earth does the time go
Self-publishing: don’t write what you know, write what people are looking for
As you'll no doubt be painfully aware due to my tedious blahing about it on Facebook and Twitter, I recently wrote and self-published a horror ebook called The Slender Man. This isn't a plug, by the way. I did something of a launch campaign for it, centred mostly on Twitter and Facebook, and I promoted… Continue reading Self-publishing: don’t write what you know, write what people are looking for

For a moment the forest seems to… Continue reading Slender Man ebook

Sara Ghost by Matt Posner
I've just read Sara Ghost by Matt Posner, a short story from the School Of The Ages series. Three caveats: one, it's not my usual genre, two, I've not ready any of the other School Of The Ages series so I'm coming at it completely cold, and three, everything here is just my opinion (which… Continue reading Sara Ghost by Matt Posner
Killing Nazis has never been so depressing
I recently downloaded a demo of an upcoming game called Sniper Elite V2. "Ooh," I thought, "A game in which I get to sneak around Berlin with a sniper rifle, secretly thinning the ranks of evil Nazis before melting away into the night. That sounds like fun.""I hope I can ignore the fact that many… Continue reading Killing Nazis has never been so depressing
