Next month I will be releasing the first novel in my Austerley and Kirkgordon adventure series about a pair of investigators into the paranormal. In order for readers to get a feel for my characters I will be releasing a short story prelude before launch day and as I am especially good to my blog […]
I see dozens of blog posts explaining the virtues of various tools in aiding a writer. Different programs for your computer or apps for your tablet. Keeping files of characters, mapping out stories and completing various assessment exercises about your characters. These things can certainly have their place, depending on your method of work and […]
Check out this little piece from Nic Eaton. Always great to help from a fellow author! http://nenovels.com/2015/09/12/selfpub-profile-g-r-jordan/ Also the full “Footsteps” prelude should be live in the next couple of days! G R Jordan author, poet, and top Dad apparently!
How is it that in the middle of such a busy time, finding a moment to sit back and enjoy the excitement has become a priority? It should be note by all self-publishers to take a moment during the manic dash around blogs, tweets, postings, editing, cover design and blurb writing to just stop. Grab […]

My masterpiece would be broke apart and reassembled, pristine and glorious, changing the world’s view […]
Lately I have been challenged when reading poetry with some of the wide differences in the voices of the past and those of the present. My father bought me a book of poetry by Yeats and reading it I began to wonder how he, or indeed anyone from a different time would react to the […]
Fitting writing in is hard enough at the best of time with a busy family, a normal job and all the other things life throws at you. Hence I write during my lunch break. Edit in the wee hours of the morning. Grab a moment while the kids are at a club and I’m sat […]
The editing is underway and going well. The cover is nearly all set. Reviewer research is done and ready to be engaged. And then it comes at me. My Kickstarter – it’s time to tell people why they want to support me in producing this book. One of the downsides of being a creative is […]
When writers talk about editors with each other, it always makes me smile. Why? Because the testimonials run somewhere between people who rank just a touch lower than your mother to the awful beasts who didn’t understand and wrecked my manuscript. Usually there is a severe bias from ourselves, the authors, but then you must […]
