No, not another “Game of Thrones” review.
It’s snowing in Luxembourg, Halloween is here and there’s only 55 days left to Christmas at time of writing. (To keep track of how time’s running out for your gift shopping, click here.)
And it’s been another month of ups and downs in a writer’s life…
A Short Story Published
“Your Secret Library” Online Magazine – Halloween edition!
Here’s your free read of seasonal horror stories
It includes my short story “Let The Children Sleep”
Newsletters and Amazon
Like many other authors, I’ve had to change my newsletter mailing company as they weren’t delivering on the promised delivery. There’s so much admin involved: migrating my mailing lists, setting up new signup forms and “thank you” mails, creating newsletter templates, changing the links to my signup form in all the books and everywhere else I published it.
Amazon continues to have problems retaining valid book reviews. So far (touch wood) I’ve not lost any more, but other writers are again seeing theirs erased. I’m watching and waiting…
The Writing Part
And so to the stuff I am supposed to be doing – writing!
My classic noir is in final revision with a target publication date of January 1st. A dozen of my short stories are with various online critique groups.
The new covers for my sci-fi trilogy seem to be doing the job, as my sales are climbing. (Someday soon, I have to write the sequel.)
So…
I’ll get back to making imaginary things happen to people who don’t exist.
Happy Halloween!

It has been a long journey, but here I stand on the verge of publishing my first novel.
