"After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing; when the reader creates emotion in their head, or the colors of the sky during the setting sun, or the smell of a warm summer's breeze on their face, they should reserve as much praise for themselves as the do for the writer - perhaps more." (Jasper Fforde — The Well Of Lost Plots.)
 | I now have an eBook library, where you can download some of this site's content. I will be updating what's available over the coming weeks. Eventually, I will convert my book, Members Only, to a digital format for all eReaders. Link. I have resurrected my blogging. It's little more than self-regarding nonsense, but if you like that kind of thing, have a look and perhaps even subscribe. Go to my blog. My book, Members Only, is no longer available to buy, unless you can find a used one, as the publishing company I was with went bankrupt. It will be republished very soon, however; and I have taken the opportunity to re-write it and offer it as a second edition, which will have far fewer typing errors and some more fundamental changes to the story which have occurred to me since first finishing it. But it won't be so different that you'd have to buy it again if you have already read it once. It will also be made available as an e-Book and as a PDF download. I will keep you up to date with progress but it really won't be long now. Here's something else I am giving away for free: Apostrophes, the god of grammar, has returned to earth to fight back against the increasing misuse of the English language. He chooses the Cambridge branch of the Apostrophe Protection Society to help him, but things are very different now to how they used to be in the Good Old Days. Apostrophes! As I say, I have decided to give my novel, Members Only, away for free under something called a Creative Commons license. Here is a fantastic essay, written by Cory Doctrow, which explains what it is and why, especially for unknown writers, it might be a good idea worth considering. The Copyright Thing. |
