Project Update

I should do these updates more often. No excuse for it really.

Ever since the release of Target, I’ve divided my time between working on the sequel, and working on multiple projects all tied into the Target Universe.

I’m also prepping my second release, which is a novella titled Homecoming. It is also set in Leeds and is the tale of Justin Holmes, a hustler who returns home after a sentence to find that everything has changed, himself included.

Thanks the success of Target from a critical standpoint, I’ve managed to acquire some fanatical beta readers, and they’re currently working with me to scour through my work to ensure it’s ready for public release.

I’m a part of several online groups, where we debate the quirks and flaws of various characters and scenarios in my work, which is gratifying and a lot of fun. There are certain characters that have quite the fan club, and others that are quite reviled, so the debates are often intense and definitely not for the faint hearted!

All in all, I’m not resting on my laurels. I don’t know how to. My sub-objectives at the moment are trying to find a way to incorporate time for reading into my schedule, and stepping up my promotional efforts which I’m doing, slowly but surely.
It’s an exciting journey and I’m enjoying pushing myself to achieve the goals I have set for myself. I’ve said this before and it still remains the truth; Target is only the beginning.
Look out for me, read the work, sign up to the subscription list and receive a free copy of my Novelette, No Siesta, a short crime thriller set in Barcelona. Target is still available online at Amazon, in both paperback and kindle form, so get involved and have your say! I take all feedback and critiquing on board, and I promise you there is only more to come 
Have a great day, however you’re spending it,
