last night

Hi every one.
last night I was in Blackburn at Radio Lancashire, I did an interview about my book and I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed it. I made the mistake of not putting it on here before I went and I apologies for that.
I would like to say Thank you to John Barnes and his team at Radio Lancashire, you were all very kind and supportive. I particularly like the way John managed to Sheppard me through the interview without me realising it at the time. he has a way of talking to you that put you at ease immediately and I had no nerves until I came out.

If you would like to listen to it you can go to radio lancashire's web site and click listen again on John's page.

thank you to all that listened and especially those of you who sent me texts after.

update

Hi All,
well it is happening quite quickly now. you can now get my book from many places, Amazon, Play.com, Waterstones, WH Smiths, Barnes and Noble, Books a million, and many more.
the easiest way to order is to go to my web site and click buy now, this will take you to the authors web site and allow you to pay for the book direct.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family for their support and also my publishers for their professional manner and support along with all the departments hard work.

Book 2, The Touch of the Dead is well under way and hopefully should be available this year. that sounds a long time away but it is almost the end of June so within the next six months doesn't sound as long.

Don't forget to keep following and let me have your thoughts on the book.

slow but sure

Hi everyone,

we are now on 4th June. I have now approved the press release for the launch of my book and am now again awaiting the release date. this has been a long tedious process but we are getting there.

still dealing with things at work, not knowing what is going on with all the redundancies or salaries. it is a horrible thing to go through, wondering who is going , who is staying, what will we be paid etc. no one tells you anything.

if any one out there is going through this at work you have my sympathy.

oh yea

Hi again all,
well it is now 22nd May, I have received the proof copy of my book, HURRA.
I have approved it so I am expecting it to be for sale now within the next five weeks.

I have had a bad week or so at work. there has been lots of meetings with the new management, many people up for redundancy and this week some have been given finishing dates and some have gone already. I know it is a bad time for every body at the moment.
My job is safe but it is a very strange feeling, happy and sad at the same time and my thoughts are with everyone.

let me know how all of you are doing, (even those anonymous followers)

when the book is released I will be starting to arrange book signing dates so will keep you informed as we go.
Simon, I hope you are around, we keep saying we are going to meet up but never get around to it. get in touch again, it is over due now.

I look forward to hearing from you all,
speak soon

Steve

Hi All, it's been a couple of weeks now. thanks for post Tony, yes it is taking some time.
I am informed that my book should be for sale in approx 6 weeks. hurra.

I am now just waiting for the book itself to be posted to me for final approval then it will be on the market. I will let you all know when.

I haven't been on for a while due to the company I work for being taken over. I have been told I am now running things in my department so I have much to do. it has been a very nervous time for me and Debs, wondering if I was going to have a job.

I have a web site starting up soon. www.stephenmproctor.com this is where you will be able to read about me and the books I am writing, including the second book in the series. The Touch Of the Dead. book 2 of the world keepers. I am on chapter 4 but this will be moving along and hopefully published within the next six months.

you will be able to click the link to order and buy the book or click another link to go to the publishers website and buy from there as well as look at all the books available from them.

watch this space for when the site will be available.

that's all for now, I will talk to you all again.

Happy Easter everyone, apparently the book is almost there now. but still awaiting the press release. I never realised what a slow process it was.

I have had a busy week as The company I work for has been "acquired" as they say. we have been bought out by another company. It is now just a case of wait and see who is going to keep their jobs and who wont. My Department is quite safe and going to get busier so I am told.
The current climate is not good for anyone but up to now all my family still have jobs and are not too affected. Don't know about all my friends, hope you are all doing OK, what about you Simon, How is work going with you?

I have a Web site now, it is not up and running but I am working on the pages now and they are almost ready to publish so keep your eyes open for that. you will be able to read about me and my family. you will be able to read about the story, what it is about and get to know some of the mane character, you will also have a link to get here and to the publishers web site.

if you like what you see on the web site you can also order and pay for the book on line. you can leave me a message and talk to me I will write back to all, unless the unbelievable happens and I get millions of you writing. he he..


well that's all for today, will chat again.
