The Real Costs to Self-Publish a Book Guest Post on the Reading...Dreaming Blog!

Hey guys

It has been an interesting few days and my day job has really taken over all of my spare time but I am happy to announce I have done another Guest Post, which will hopefully help more of those who want to go into the self-publishing industry.

I want to thank Ruty at the Reading...Dreaming Blog for giving me the opportunity to discuss this topic and to provide my own experiences of this unique journey.

For more information on the advantages (and disadvantages) of self-publishing a book, the real costs on trying to self-publish your work and a breakdown of the profits you would get if you published on Amazon and Smashwords (eBooks only), please click on the link below.

Happy reading everyone! ;-)

Snowy Sunday?

Hi Guys

It's another Sunday and it's not very warm in the UK so I know what that means...snow will be coming!

At least I cannot be distracted to go out if the weather is rubbish so... more work here I come!

I have just finished the pre-production stage of the Split Blood: The Ancient Codex - Part One book trailer and will be starting to look for the actors soon but because we are getting into the bad weather season here, I don't think I will start filming until April.

I will keep you all updated and I'm looking forward to seeing what you all think.

I am also finishing the first draft of chapter one of Spilt Blood 3 and will be sending it off to my copy editor soon so I'm excited to actually get everything in motion.

And lastly, I will be looking for some reviewers in the next few months to give feedback on Wattpad, Goodreads, Amazon and Smashwords, so if you think you would be interested in being a reviewer, please email me to express your interest.

That's all for now! :-)

New Wattpad Teen Fiction Paranormal Story!

Hey Wattpaders!

It has been a while but I have been trying to check my Wattpad account, when I get the chance, and have seen some amazing stories that I will be adding to my reading list shortly.

I absolutely love Wattpad because there are so many amazing writers on there and the communities and clubs have really helped me with ideas, curing my writers block and getting to know a vast array of readers and writers from all around the globe!

I have got the writing bug again and have set myself a crazy challenge (I have no idea why I would put this pressure on myself but let's see how it goes?! lol) - I have decided to try and write a teen fiction paranormal story, to launch exclusively on Wattpad, to be completed by the end of January.

I have already started writing it and have set the scene for the main female lead but I have so many ideas that I am just in the process of trying to cut them down so I don't overload the reader with my wacky dark fantasy storyline.

I will be posting the first part on Wattpad tomorrow, so stay tuned and let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment on the story and if you like it, please support me by voting for it because the more comments and votes a story gets, the more attention it will receive from Wattpad and the further up the search page it will go to attract more potential readers.

I am still writing Split Blood 3 but will be taking a break to complete this challenge. Split Blood 3 will still be published on Amazon and Smashwords in April.

So, if you like a Teen Fiction story with a little dark fantasy edge, which will transport the reader from the human world to a fantasy world of vampires, lust, a dark hidden secret and an age old war between mythical beings to stop the extinction of earth, then this could be for you...

Author Interview by Books n Pearls Book Blog

Hi guys,

Well I haven't updated for a while because unfortunately I have not found an agent yet therefore I still need to split my time between writing and my day job.

I have been doing author interviews, (along with trying to hash through a few more ideas for 'Split Blood 3' and hope to publish it before April 2016) and have my first one posted today on BooksnPearls.com.

I have to say a big thank you to Nicole at BooksnPearls.com for the interview and hope to work with her further in the future.

I also have to thank you for all your emails and communication through social media (especially Wattpad) and if I have not replied to you yet, please be patient because I haven't forgotten you, I'm just saving the best till last! ;-)

I also have one or two surprises to come which I hope will enhance your reading experience and allow you to delve deeper into the 'Split Blood World' so I hope your ready!

Other than trying to juggle my writing with my day job, I have been slightly distracted by some great movies that I have recently seen (loving 'Crimson Peaks' but I never doubted I would since it’s from one of my favourite directors!), baking (I have just taken up the hobby and actually love it! It really helped my writers block but did not work out well for my diet! Lol) and my friend's new kitty's (pictures to come as evidence of their cuteness!).

So that's it from me for now.

I'm hoping to get better at updating my social media and will try to update this blog at least once a week!

Stay Mythical and Happy! ;-)
