Blog post(Technically, it was 11 days to the first full draft.)
"Out of Time" is a comedy, sci-fi adventure screenplay.
When the missing, presumed dead, Professor friend of a Parkinson's disease suffering middle-aged man unexpectedly returns, they have only four days to complete a life-saving road trip, only for it to unravel into a dark revelation and the ultimate redemption for everyone. Oh, and time travel. Obviously.
I wrote the first end to end draf -
Blog postThis is my diary of the development of my screenplay 'Land of Fear' from its inception in 2015, hopefully right up to when the industry recognises its merits, and someone agrees to produce it.
There will be one blog for every full year of development, so unless it sells in 2020, you won't get the development blog until January 2021. If you can't wait that long then there is a constantly updated news & development diary at the bottom of its web page.
So, below i -
Blog postA ‘topical’ review of the novel 'Robopocalypse' by Daniel H. Wilson, just two years after it was originally released!

I don’t usually write reviews on my blog, well not requested reviews anyway, and I don’t intend to start – I’ll leave that to bloggers with much more of an interest in that sort of thing than me - but I have to right a bit of a wrong, especially now that I’m a published author myself.
In 2012 I wrote an Amazon.co.uk review of -

Blog postBeing an independent author is hard. Very hard. You have to do it all for yourself. It's not enough that you consume your soul producing 70,000 compelling words; you then have to become an expert in cover design and typesetting. Then you have to become an expert marketer. Then you have to do all of the manual labour and heavy lifting yourself. Gaining traction and maintaining momentum is so hard when it's all just you. You can’t rest for a moment. You can’t rest and you’re often stretched in man

Blog postAs you probably know, Amazon deducts US tax at a rate of 30% from all Amazon Kindle eBook sales, regardless of your nationality. You are then supposed to fill in a tax return to claim the money back. Filling in the tax return requires an Individual Tax Identification Number (ITIN), and that’s where the problems start. Apparently, getting that ITIN requires all sort of certified copies of a picture ID, which in turn requires sending passports etc. to the US or visiting the US embassy in London. <

Blog postBlogs are like buses it would seem. You wait five months for one then two come along in the same week! This blog is all about my experiences with editing and editors – why you need it, what it really is, how to get one and why bother in the first place.
“The beautiful part of writing is that you don't have to get it right the first time, unlike, say, a brain surgeon. You can always do it better, find the exact word, the apt phrase, the leaping simile.”

Blog postThis is not really a true, proper blog entry – the next one proper will come soon – instead this is a sort of diary update on what I’ve been doing since the first blog back in Oct 2012. (Was it really FIVE months ago when I last blogged? Sorry about that.)
I decide that the anthology book of my short stories should come first because I mistakenly thought it would be the least work of the two. So, I halted work on the ‘Fomalhaut’ novel to start the anthology, mainly because a new se -
Blog postThis is where it publicly starts. It's not the start of the road but it's not the end either. I can't wait for people to start reading my stuff but I'm not quite there yet.
Let me explain. While at uni in the early 90's I started writing short stories on a house mate's PC. I'd written short stories at school and my English teacher had even suggested collecting them together.The person sat next to me liked to read them, but that was a far as it went. I've since lost everyon -
