Since being published by http://nightpublishing.com/ I am aware of many magnificent books going through their hands. NP are not concerned about which niche they fit into - only that good books should and must be published.
So can I bring your attention to the following? All published by NP of late.
Carolyn Allen ~ Knifing the Famous
K.J.Rigby ~ Little Guide to the Unhip (Funnee and a good read!!)
Catherine Chisnall - Descending
This is only a couple of many
Genevieve Sawchyn recently received a fantastic review of her book from - youwriteon
Also when you get the chance take a peek at her blog/web page Writing Wildly.
Others you should look at are Louise Wise of Wise Words.
New Blog first chapters up and coming on NP:
The Bringer
Cry From a Deep Place
Bump Up the Gamma
ASDA
Recently I came across an American guy Jon Renaud. His web site is http://www.jonrenaud.com/ and his novel is called Dereliction of Duty.
Jon Renaud is a retired Army Chief Warrant Officer and former CID Special Agent who earned two Bronze Stars for tours in Iraq in 2003 and 2005. During his tenure as a CID Agent, Jon led Counter Narcotics Teams, worked on high profile Homicide Cases, served as the Special Agent in Charge of a Detainee Abuse Task Force and had assignments on the protection details of the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and the Commander of Forces in Iraq. After serving 20 years in the U.S. Army, Jon now lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado
Go check it out - fascinating stuff. I bet my blogging mate Reg takes a look. He is also ex services.
I got Jons' name wrong - it should read Jon Renaud . There is no 'L'
Apologies all round Jon.

The Hot Gates.
The 300 vampire story, “The Hot Gates” is in print!
This is the splurge I used for the covering letter.
The film, "300" recently broke the Box Office with its tale of Leonidas and his brave Spartans, who stood against the might of Xerxes and the whole Persian Empire. The name Leonidas is now synonymous with self sacrifice and bravery; whereas Xerxes tends to be seen as a cruel, debauched and somewhat vain tyrant. I thought it would be a novel twist to the tale if the roles of these two leaders were reversed in some way.
In my short story, "The Hot Gates", Xerxes is a hero who has gathered an army to take on the Vampires of Sparta. Using the original characters and taking only a breath of artistic liberty, I drew on the legendary battle as my blueprint to tell the tale of the destruction of Leonidas and his bloodsucking 300.
Well, there you have it, my first go at marketing a story, lol. 10,500 words of Hellenic horror and Persian pluck!
Whatever, when I have the address I’ll put it up here and if you’re interested you can purchase one.
Still heard nothing from the publishers about my manuscript, but we’ve been there before and know that it means nothing…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His epic story called Division of the Damned is still awaiting publication and an excerpt can be read here on my blog.
So other things: Loiuse Wise of Wise Words has blogged me. If you go over to Wise Words you will see the wonderful words she has spoken about Eye of Erasmus.
Tiffany Harkleroad has contacted me from America. She would like to do a review of the Eye of Erasmus. I intend to send her a complimentary book so that she can read it in comfort. There is nothing like the feel of a new book in your hands.
I am now on Kindle and Smashwords. If you can't find me just Google my name I seem to be taking over the web of late with 5 or 6 pages or more.
Richard Grayling of http://strugglingauthors.co.uk/ has just updated my web site .... It looks fantastic and I owe him a barrel of his favourite drink.
Thats about it at the moment

Last Saturday during that fantastic, blistering heat wave, I caught up with John D. Piggott on his allotment and presented him with his signed copy of my book the Eye of Erasmus. As you may remember John painted the cover and has also prepared the book cover for the next book in the series.
Shasta - The Enchanted Garden
We also have a 'new kiddie' on the block with a brand new blog, courtesy of the now infamous Richard Grayling of Struggling Authors.
Colin comes to us for a bit of cosseting, as he is new to all this blogging malarkie. So lets help him along folks. His blog is
and of course Richard can be found on Struggling Authors. If you scroll down a page or two or look in the left hand column of this blog , all the info you need is there.

!!!! HOLD THE FRONT PAGE !!!!
My feet have finally come into contact with terra firma, so grab me while you can.
I'm in print and I have signed a couple of books.
I've been interviewed by the local paper and the local radio station has given me a mention.
Richard of Struggling Authors tells me that if you 'Google me' now I come up as owning the 'net!!
Unbelievebly my video of me opening my proof copy of the book is now on a site called 'BIGLOBE'. You can view it at this attached link...... http://movie1.search.biglobe.ne.jp/video/watch/9a228abbfa58f699 If you click on it you will see a dropdown menu. Follow the links.
The irony is its all in Japanese but you can use their translater.
Carolyn Allen also had her book published at the same time as mine. It's called 'Knifing the Famous', and a fascinating read.
'Knifing the Famous' is an intimate, emotionally complex, portrait of John Watson who was a pioneer British plastic surgeon who operated originally on 'The Guineapigs' - pilots who had been shot down in flames during WW2 and grossly disfigured - and who rose to the top of his field with clients ranging from Lord Lucan and a wife of the Kray Brothers, to Lady Churchill and members of the Royal Household. The big question: did he operate on Lord Lucan a second time immediately before he disappeared after the murder of his children's nanny Sandra Rivett?
I found this fascinating because Lord Lucan seemed to disappear off the face of the earth. He could even be looking at this blog with a different face. Who knows?
Go to http:/www.lordlucanjohnwatson.com
So what else is going on at Night Publishing that you can look at?
Tim Roux is editing Catherines book at the moment. It's called 'Descending' so that will be hitting the shops shortly.
Genevieve Sawchyn an amamzing writer. Take a look at her work on either Night Publishing or her regular blog http://genevieve-thewritemove.blogspot.com/
Then of course there is Suzannah Burke - mind blowing Australian writer. Whenever Soooz posts anything new on NP I just know the beds will go unmade, dirty dishes in the sink etc. Her latest story is the mind blowing, 'MIND SHIFT' part 2. I would stronly urge you to go to the blog page on the front of NP, click on it and get reading. Oh the first part is on there also.
I have been so preoccupied with radio and paper interviews I haven't had a chance to check out all my other blogging friends.
It's on my "TO DO" list which is getting forever longer.
