"Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else." - JM Barrie

I would rather be doing anything else right now than making a list of gene mutations. Honestly.

Anyway, some bits and pieces, which is all I really seem to have to blog about lately, as so much of my time is being eaten by great big projects.

1. Remember UNGRATEFUL DEAD? The story where Ethan spends the night at a haunted morgue and almost nothing bad happens? It's now also going to feature in Static Movement's anthology The Morgue, as this seems fitting. It'll still be available for the Kindle and for free if you email me, but I like the idea of getting the word about Ethan out to as many places as possible, so that's that. (I cannot tell you how excited I am about my ideas for the next Ethan novella-possibly-novel. Like, seriously. I can't wait to get started on it).

2. In Shoregrave-related news, whilst trying to cram one more book onto my sagging bookshelves last night, I discovered I have an extra copy of AFTERLIFE. So, if you'd like a signed copy of my debut novel (wherein Ethan first appears), how about you leave me a comment here before Monday 8th August? I'll draw someone at random to receive it and maybe I'll throw in something else cool as well. Maybe. No promises.

Afterlife ♥
I would dearly love a copy! Even more so if it happened to be signed ;)

I'm glad Ungrateful Dead has found a home at Static Movement, I enjoyed that story :)

And count me in for the signed copy of Afterlife ^_^

I totally have the ebook, but ee! signed! And who knows, if I have a physical copy maybe I can share the Nome-love with some deserving soul =D

I have so much love for Ethan- he's everything a PI should be. Congratulations on adding him to Static Movements' ranks.

Your Blogspot is acting up. Clicked on the Post Comment, but then I couldn't see where to type my comment. Weird.

I'd totally love to win a signed copy of AFTERLIFE. And we all know that Ethan is the best character you've created :-)

Weird... someone else told me that recently, but then when I checked the settings, everything was fine. Thanks for mentioning it; it might be the new template screwing things up!
