Through a glass darkly
I had a really nice surprise this morning when I got an email from BookBub, the online hub for all things e-book. It told me that not only had someone recommended Echoes of Blood, but had left a stonking review of the book into the bargain. The review includes phrases like Fiona Glass creates an...

You wouldn't think there could possibly be any connection between the above four things, would you? There is, though, as I explained on Annie Whitehead's blog yesterday. Even though Echoes of Blood is a love story set in modern-day Liverpool, I managed to crowbar all kinds of history - including Roman roads and an entire... Continue Reading →
I'm over the moon that J Scott Coatsworth, the admin over at Queer Sci Fi, has featured Echoes of Blood on the group's blog today. So if you'd like to see all the details including an excerpt from the first chapter of the book, head over to the Queer Sci Fi blog now. I chose... Continue Reading →
The main news today is that I finally got off my behind and enrolled Echoes of Blood onto Kindle Unlimited.

Just popping in to mention that I've added my vampire flash fiction This Life Sucks to the Free Stuff page on my website.

It wasn't "wrong", exactly. I liked the bat and... Continue Reading →
A different two this time - not Dave but my good friend Annie and I, who visited Sizergh Castle near Kendal yesterday afternoon. The castle itself was still shut for the winter season, but the gardens were mostly open and as they're lovely we had a really good wander round. Not only that but the... Continue Reading →
I'm glowing today, and not just because of the icy wind rushing past my face every time I set foot out of doors. This time it's because my new book Echoes of Blood has received its first Amazon review, and it's a really good one. The reviewer thoroughly enjoyed the book and has awarded it... Continue Reading →
Amazon stole a march on me overnight. I'd uploaded all the necessary bits and bobs for the new book yesterday, and understood that it took up to 3 days for the thing to be reviewed and added to the Kindle store. Fine, I thought. That's plenty of time to do a nice slinky cover reveal... Continue Reading →
