Welcome to my Blog
Stay up to date with the day to day happenings of Colin here
So many things happening!
It's been a while, me and blogging are sometimes, distant strangers.
What's been happening? The year is moving along nicely. Deep into school presentations and workshops, especially 'World Book Week' lots of schools and lots more travel. Being an author and getting paid for events is what it's all about.
Been invited to a 'Writers Retreat Weekend' in March, with I think, four other writers. Looking forward to that, thanks for inviting me Steve Lockley.
I've been given back the rights to Killian Spooks and the Ghosted Children, my YA novel. Whiteley Publishing and myself haven't been seeing eye-to-eye, so we've mutually ended our relationship. I'm retelling the story and bringing it out later this year with Tallyberry Publishing (my own imprint). It'll have a different ending, but no one got to see the first edition. You'll be able to acquire it in paperback and ebook format - so a lot of editing and re-writing to do, with a brand new book cover, exciting stuff!
Dramascape, my newest publisher, has assured me that 'Death Trap' will be ready to launch in September at my Rhondda Book Fair 2016. This novel has been sitting in the background for a l-o-n-g time. The initial illustrations look amazing, and I can't wait to see the cover design for that one too.
Once Killian Spooks is sorted, I can finally get back to writing Villains: Mother Quartz. The story is there, but needs more work. This book will take me into the adult crime novel market. More on that later.
There are one or two other things in the background, but I'll let you know about them in another blog.
