Howdy folks, am I ready for the day? Hell no! In mind, heart, and spirit I’m still at home, in bed, with the dog laying alongside my bed. Sleeping soundly, not sitting in my car at work waiting to go in to start the day. That’s just my body who’s somewhat ready for that.

(Expect typos!)

Anyway……

The paperback for Penal Earth will be live any time now. I got the proof yesterday and am super happy with it. I’m super happy with the whole thing to be honest.

This book has been one of the challenges of my writing life. It started off as a NaNo novel years ago and has evolved over different drafts to what it is now.

The handful of people who read it before it was published have raved about it and I feel for a first novel it’s a strong one to begin with. Obviously I’m biased, but I think it is also that pride at knowing how much work has gone into it.

Peter at RedCape Publishing did a great job with the editing and formatting. And Dave Davies knocked it into orbit with the cover art.

Book two is well underway but still a long way off completion. This is somewhat of a trilogy (at the moment) but in an open ended universe.

I’m excited to be playing in this world, it’s got limitless possibilities and I’m looking forward to sharing with you all what a nightmare in paradise these first few books will be.
