Well done to Nigel Edwards who has a positive review at Book Brouhaha, a site run by a fellow advocate of fantastic short fiction: Alain Gomez.

“Well-written” doesn’t even begin to describe Ferryman; it’s engrossing – Review at Book Brouhaha

During the rest of June, you can get the Ferrryman e-book free from Smashwords.

I mentioned in a recent post my belief that the popularity of e-books will mean great things for novelettes and novellas… and vice versa. At present, we’ve got three novelettes in the pipeline and two novellas.  We still have editing and some contractual issues to finalise, but I am fairly confident that all will be making their way to the e-book retailers soon.

Nigel Edwards’ recent foray into the Amazon bestseller charts has gained him thousands of new readers. (Hello, if you’re reading this!) The novelette format is proving popular too. Put the two together and welcome Garrison, a fantasy novelette told from a soldier’s perspective.

We have a contemporary thriler novelette from new writer, Emma Coleman. There’s a darkness to Emma’s writing, edged with a surreal humour all her own. Her thriller has been delayed for a while due to very good reasons, but I know it will be worth the wait. Expect to hear a lot more from Emma.

By the way, you can click on the cover image to see a larger view.

As for the rest… I’m looking forward to announcing a Royal Flush coming your way: short stories, a novelette, a novella, and a novel from an established horror writer.

Did I say novel? Yes, more about that in a future post.

I haven’t forgotten short stories. More coming here too…

 Oh, and I’ve been talking to artists to commission artwork. Can’t say much more about that now because I need to get back to my editing work.

Well, okay, it’s stretching things to say Nigel is a bestseller because Amazon have decided to make his story Waif free from amazon.com Don’t ask me why. This has only happened in the past few days but for some reason readers are choosing Nigel’s story because when I looked just now it was at #4 in the short story chart and in the top#200 all Kindle books.

This is well deserved. Nigel’s story is well written, even my father told me recently that it was cleverly done, and fantasy short stories are not his cup of tea.

There’s been a lot of fuss in the UK these past few days over a BBC documentary presented by Sir Terry Pratchett on the topic of assisted suicide, a subject that is an immediate and personal one for Sir Terry. Continue reading →
