News about book releases and availability
MARCH 2025 Okay, we’re back on track. So, if you’re in need of a bit of escapism, how about a journey to Neptune to brighten up the fickle month of March? At nearly 60,000 words, what was originally intended to be a short story to take advantage of a free couple of months while I …
DECEMBER 2024 This month, inspired by two fairly recent TV shows, I find myself drawn back to a favourite topic. The first show is Spanish and is called Machos Alfa, which doesn’t need a translation, does it? It’s a comedy and improves as the writers get to know their characters and become bolder with their …

NOVEMBER 2024 My original idea for this month was to comment on October’s astonishing scenes as Space X managed to catch the Super Heavy booster right there on the launch pad with those crazy “chopsticks”, but that all seems to have been eclipsed by Elon Musk’s slightly disturbing contribution to the re-election of his presidential …

AUGUST 2024 It’s August, and that means even pink-skinned dudes like me have to slap on some Factor 50 and head for the beach. What will I be reading as I sit on the towel under my trusty umbrella? That’s a good question, but it’s not what we’re here to talk about. This was a …

JULY 2024 I know this is just repeating last month’s news, but the official version of the fourth novella associated with the Backdoor Angels series – and providing some extra fun, I hope – is now available from Amazon. As usual, I’m keeping the price at a modest 99 cents/pence (can’t do the same with …

JUNE 2024 I don’t know if you noticed the newsletter sneakily sliding from the end of one month to the start of the next. It meant that April’s went out in May, and now I’m regarding this as the missive for June, so you might argue that we ‘lost’ one somewhere. But after last month’s …
APRIL/MAY 2024 So, a funny thing happened on Amazon. I uploaded my revised text for Anything But Accidental, the first novel in the Backdoor Angels series, with the additional insights involving important people within the Superior Planets Company, but KDP didn’t see any reason to regard it as a new edition, and I only spotted …
DECEMBER 2023 “What a ride. This story manages to answer a lot of questions and bring the current story to a good stopping point as well as whetting your appetite for what’s to come.” “I think this has to be one of the best books I’ve read in a good while, it kept me engaged …
OCTOBER 2023 I’m aiming to be brief and to the point this month. We’re currently spending a few days in the Cotswolds, in an impossibly picturesque English village, all narrow lanes lined with sandstone cottages, some of which even have thatched roofs, and walking among posh English types who dress like people you think might …
Well, the website is more or less there at last. It’s not been quite as easy as I’d hoped, but never mind. (Last website I created I did most of it myself in HTML. What a dinosaur!) Next thing is to get some links so you can download the two freebies I’m about to upload …
