It’s been a while (Spoiler: I didn’t complete the Hooptober 11 challenge). Last year was dominated by my day job developing video games. I was the Design Director and writer on a new game called Earth vs Mars.
Happy Birthday, Serial Killer Z
Today marks the 7th anniversary of the first book in my serial killer vs zombies series, Serial Killer Z.
It’s also Clive Barker’s birthday. I hadn’t noticed that before but Barker is one of my favourite authors so it’s pretty cool.
Quote of the Month – July
I’ve known you since you were a little girl, Rachel, and I’ve trained you to become one of us. You’re like a daughter to me. Fuck this up and I will gut you like a fish and feast on your entrails. Good luck!
Quote of the Month – May
“When you jump off a cliff, is it better to land on jagged rocks or burning lava? I know this one. The answer is obvious: It doesn’t matter where you land. You just jumped off a cliff.” from Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey
Quote of the Month – April
“We gather in huge cities of concrete and steel, belching exhaust fumes into the sky and filling our nights with so much light that even the stars can’t compete. We’ve forgotten fear.”
So Far, So Good
I’m currently running a sale on all three of the Serial Killer Z books (discounting them from $4.99 to 99c/99p or whatever the equivalent is in your part of the world).
The sale really kicked off on Sunday and so far, the results have been great.
Big Serial Killer Z Sale
If you subscribe to my newsletter or follow me on Bluesky, you’ll know that a few weeks ago I was due to run a Bookbub promotion on the first Serial Killer Z book. Bookbub promos are a) very hard to get and b) very expensive. Which made it particularly annoying when technical difficulties at Amazon prevented me from discounting the book, meaning the promo automatically got cancelled, leaving me hundreds of dollars out of pocket.
A Farewell to Glitch Mitchell
I’m doing a bit of a reset of my indie publishing career at the moment and part of that process involves cleaning up my back catalogue.
Quote of the Month – March
“By and large people try to do the right thing. We just don’t always have the same idea of what’s right.”
A Definitive Guide to Philip Harris Books
Apparently, this is my 700th post on this blog so I thought I’d celebrate by stealing an idea from Delilah S. Dawson and put together a guide for my books.
