I've got loads of chores to do before I get back to writing about Merlin and his medieval, raunchy, shenanigans so talk later peeps.

HELLO

I'm still cracking on with the new Erasmus and Shasta. It's almost as if there is someone sitting on my shoulder urging me on.
I've managed 12,000 words so far..... Well there is life to live and contend with in between writing  *sighs*. I would love to sit and write all day but ............ This one is much darker and more raunchy as well. I blame the person sitting on my shoulder lol
Anyways this is just an update. Sooo laters peoples.

Circle Theorems Coming Soon .....

Simon Swift has written a new novel (novella) and the details are below. I have read this book and it's a doozy, so watch out for it folks.

Circle Theorems

A novella

Circle Theorems

A novella

By Simon Swift

ROBBERY, MURDER, BETRAYAL AND SEX

  It’s June, 1936, New York. World Champ, Joe Louis, battered at the Yankees Stadium and violent robberies across the City; the Hindenburg floats into town as New Yorkers swelter in 106 degree heat; Harlem River bridges expanding and Detectives getting murdered.

  Private Eye, Dyke Spanner, has twenty four hours to live. The debts are piling up, the threats are coming in and his partner, Bowman, is violently brutalized and slain. Spanner knows that unless he finds $20,000 fast, he will be next.

  In walks Sabina Guest, timid, desperate and willing to do anything. She needs his help. Her sister Alicia, a beautiful, alluring model, has gone missing and she begs a reluctant Spanner to help. A $10,000 retainer and a midnight liaison, seal the deal.

  But he didn’t know it was gonna be a weekend in hell. Nothing is how it seems. Sex, murder, betrayal, porn stars, gangsters and corruption. Everywhere he turns…

  Circle Theorems is a hardboiled mystery.

From the author of the critically acclaimed BLACK SHADOWS and THE CASABLANCA CASE.

B A Morton does it again

Babs and her hubby left the rat race and escaped to the country. This inspired her to write her novel Mrs. Jones which has had megga sales on kindle.
Here is Babs again in interview with the press.

There is also some very interesting information for would be writers from publishers. Take heed writers, the information is invaluable and the Writers Handbook referred to is The Writers and Artists Year book. You can also buy a Children's Writers and Artists Year Book if you prefer to write for that age group.

THE BIRTHDAY MAN

In honour of Shah Wali Fazli's birthday I did him a video on you tube. I've been trying to upload it for several days now, and finally today I succeeded.

Unbeknown to me it was his birthday, so a lovely birthday present he tells me.

It is quotes from his book The Interpreter. An amazing book which I reviewed at 5 stars.

OLD VERSUS NEW

My publisher http://nightpublishing.com decided that Erasmus needed a bit of a makeover. The dramatic new book cover of The Eye of Erasmus is on the right. I dare you to try and ignore those black eyes as they follow you.

It's far more dynamic and suits Erasmus perfectly. I understand that avid readers of my books have re-bought The Eye of Erasmus just to have the new cover. Testament indeed to the power of a makeover.   

                                                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Regular viewers to my blog will also have noticed that it's had a makeover. Many thanks to KC Hilton who worked her magic on it. That's Magic as in The Magic of Finkleton. Thanks Katrina and massive virtual hugs go to you from me.

Here is Katrina's web site.
