January - March 2018: Boom Baby!

Quarterly is the new monthly!

I'm trying to blog less in 2018 to allow more time for writing fiction, so this is my first quarterly update.

Highlight
I finished my second short story collection, Boomsticks, which contains 14 stories including a 40,000-word novella set within my Nephos world. Boomsticks is written, edited and formatted. Once the front cover is done then I am good to publish.

Lowlight
I was unsuccessful once again in my application for Room 204. Third time unlucky.

I have read...
  • Age of Assassins by RJ Barker
  • Exile by Rachel McLean
  • The Chalk Man by CJ Tudor
  • The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
  • Blood of Assassins by RJ Barker
  • The Hollow Tree by James Brogden
  • Terra Draconum (first draft) by Martin Sullivan

I have blogged...
  • My Writing New Year's Resolutions 2018
  • REVIEW: Exile by Rachel McLean
  • Top 10 Emerging Female Authors

I have written...
  • 20,000 words towards Nephos 3 and lots of little bits to get Boomsticks ready for release.

Out and about
  • I attended the Exile book launch which was a fun house party with great cake.
  • I also attended the launch for A Spell In The Country, which was another house party with arts and crafts.
  • Most Saturday mornings, I have joined author Rachel McLean for a writing session in our local coffee shop.

Dates to remember
1st March - World Book Day - we dressed my son as Julia Donaldson's Stick Man!
8th March - International Women's Day and the four-year anniversary of my debut novel The Sheriff.
20th March - International Day of Happiness
24th March - Indie Book Day

AOB
I was attempting March Novel Writing Month (MarNoWriMo) which I may have invented, but my efforts were cut short because my baby girl was born on 22nd March. I am now a father of two. LEVEL UP!
