Very pleased with how 'David: The Story of a Miracle' is progressing. It's not nearly as violent and sweary as 'Mr. Bloody Sunshine' but it's definitely dark... oh yes... you just wait! Still looking like early 2011 by the time it's done though.
I;ll be putting up a Facebook fan page very soon and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there's a couple more reviews coming soon. Other than that, it's all quiet. For now at least.

Work is well under way on the difficult second novel, entitled 'David: The Story of a Miracle' (and yes I am serious about that). I only really intended it to be a short story of about five or six chapters but it just keeps getting longer, saying that though, I think it will almost definitely be shorter than Mr. Bloody Sunshine. It feels like I'm abut a quarter of the way through at the moment so it should be ready by early 2011. I'll post more details at some point soon.
In other news, my attempt to give copies of Mr. Bloody Sunshine away for free fell flat. Aren't we in a recession? Or am I just a few months behind?

WIN A COPY OF MY BOOK! Yes indeed, seeing as I had a grand total of ZERO entry's into my last attempt to give copies of Mr. Bloody Sunshine away I'm going to have another stab at it! Just e-mail me a good enough reason why you should get a book for free and on 28th Feb I'll pick the three best and send out copies of the best darn book I've ever written. It\s quite literally as simple as that!
In other news... Mr. Bloody Sunshine has been reviewed in the latest issue of Left Lion, a Notts based Arts and Culture magazine which you can pick up for FREE at various Nottinghamshire venues. See my links page and go to their website for more info. Also, there'll be an interview with me in the April issue, so keep your spuds peeled for that. And (gasp) if you really can't wait to hear the shit I have to say I'll also be appearing on the Left Lion's literary podcast (Write Lion) which you'll be able to download from the 1st Feb. Go to http://www.leftlion.co.uk/audio.cfm/id/67 to have a listen or to download it and try counting how many times I say 'ummm' and 'kind of'. It's fun fun fun!
PHEW!

Happy new year! And to celebrate the fact that the inevitable has happened, I'm giving away 3 copies of Mr. Bloody Sunshine. All you need to do is send me an e-mail stating the reason you should get a free book, the I pick the best 3. That's literally it. I'll be selecting the winners on 20th January so if you can't wait until then, you'll just have to pay up!
Also, I've put a couple of copies of Mr. Bloody Sunshine out through Book Crossing, they're located in Costa Coffee near Pret a Manger in Nottingham and in The Alleycat Cafe in Nottingham. If you don't know what Book Crossing is go to http://www.bookcrossing.com. It's great for people who don't like paying for books but don't like the library!
