Xtraterrestrials is a post I wrote for the 2018 A to Z. I did a lot of work on it, then suddenly there was so much news about exoplanets, that I did that instead. This post on extraterrestrials never saw

K is for Kaa Birith | #CampNaNoWriMo #AtoZChallenge 2021
Kaa Birith is the main antagonist of my Viridian System science fiction series. I thought as I’m writing the third book, Zanzibar’s Rings, this month, it might help if I gave you a hint or two about him. My protagonists
Read an Ebook week 2021 #Smashwords #ebookweek21
ebookweek21: Read an Ebook week happens every year, mainly on Smashwords. I’ve missed it for a couple of years, but thought it was an good idea to remind myself of promoting the Viridian Series, and see if I can gather

The Perihelix (second edition) has been live on Amazon.com and Smashwords for a month now. It filtered through the systems to other Amazon stores and to iTunes, B&N and Kobo (and others) over the following days. In the two years
W is for White Horses #AtoZChallenge2018
White horses definitely inspire me, but I haven’t used them in my writing yet. Well, I’ve used the figurative white horses that got round film censorship in the 1940s. You don’t know what I mean? That was when any more
November already? Oh Heck!
November already? Oh, heck! The trouble with being an indie author, is that I’d like to be writing, and I can’t. I should write more, since that’s what I do. But once I get some stories written, they need to
Postcard from Camp | Fanwester loses it

Postcard from Camp | The Perihelix Extract 3
Camp NaNoWriMo week 2 was going well… until I read the latest Adirondack Publishing advice on The Story Reading Ape – about Voice. As you know, I’m re-editing The Perihelix, especially the first ‘half’ which had, let’s call it, ‘deficiency

#IWSG | Most valuable lesson in writing
It’s the Insecure Writers’ Support Group today, asking about a valuable lesson you’ve learnt. I’m at Camp Nano, so this is just a quickie to show willing. My most valuable lesson The most valuable lesson I’ve learnt while writing comes
Zanzibar’s Rings #AtoZChallenge
Zanzibar’s Rings is the working title of the third book in the Viridian System series. It seems a bit daft, really, since I haven’t republished The Perihelix yet, which I withdrew after it got reviews which showed it really needed
