looking good on the book front

Morning all,
Well it is looking good, I seem to be selling a few. I have had no bad feedback yet so fingers crossed. it should be available in paper back in a couple of months so then I should actually be able to get it on shelves in store rather than just web sites. I need to move things along I think, there are discussions going on at work again, it is possible, just possible at the moment that they may be closing the office I work in. will this credit crunch never end? business is business i suppose.
I hope you are all doing OK,

SIMON! when you going to answer your phone mate.

Book 2 is moving on now. I was right, it is going to be a bigger book and faster moving. Can't wait to get it published and available for you all to read.

That's it for now, I'm going to cut the lawn.

Hi All,

well if you missed the radio interview it is now too late to click listen again.

Things are going well with book two, the Touch of the Dead. as I said it will be a bigger book and the story also moves faster. now that book one has established the mane characters I could get straight into the action, I am on chapter 4 and so far it is a roller coaster of action and turns. I am introducing some new characters into the story in Book 2, some good and some evil. I think you will like them.

I am hoping to have Book 1 The Gate, available on shelves in paper back in the not too distant future, It is strange how different countries like to read different formats, but if it is what people want who am I to question it.


I think that is about everything for now. thanks for watching.

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.

Steve

fanfare please

Hi All,

Well it's time. my book is now available to buy. you can click on the link to my website and buy from there, or you can go to the publishers web site. the book will be listed on other web sites but this may still take a couple of weeks from now until they are listed.

I am very proud of this and thank all who have encouraged me and supported me throughout.
I would also like to thank my publishers for their hard work and for putting up with a complete amateur.

I will keep you all up to date as i go from now on, and let you know where and when i achieve book signings etc.

keep following

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
