As Time Goes By ….
October 4th came and went with nary a whimper, but it’s only recently I remembered that it was the tenth anniversary of my first book, MESMER, being published. I’ve still got photo’s of the launch at a local bookshop, and the rather mad party held at my house afterwards. What a day. So, ten years as a published writer. It’s been a good ten years, and I can happily say that each year, things get better and better. That’s a good place to be. I earned about £150 for MESMER, if memory serves me right, and now I’m making a living from writing … or as I say to my wife, I sell stuff out of my head for a living. How completely bloody cool is that?
But no time for calm reflections … I’m starting a new novel next week with Chris Golden, THE MAP OF MOMENTS, and there’s plenty of other ‘stuff’ to keep me busy.
News incoming soon: pre-orders on two new novellas (one a collaboration with a popular children’s writer … and no, I can’t tell who); a new short novel from one of the best indie presses around; and news of my first YA project. Watch this space!
