600th Post: SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT




I’m very happy to announce that my novel Death of a Dream-Pedlar is now available from Amazon as a paperback or an ebook.



My launch price for the paperback is £10 and the ebook is 99p. Naturally I recommend the paperback.


In many ways, this book has been some time coming. I started a short story with many of these ideas in 2005, a chunk of the book formed my Masters dissertation in 2009 and I first finished it and tried to get it crowd funded in 2014. 


Ten years later, heavily re-written and here it is, actually coming out. Part of that has been laziness, part of it life, part of it the insistence that only standard agent-publisher publishing is the only legit kind. I’ve rather come around to self-publishing as the only really Grub Street approach to new publishing - but I’ll write another piece about that.


It’s funny all the comments I’ve got from agents. So many pieces of praise, so many agents describing the book (and me) as wonderful or great but always the ‘but’, they thought many people would really enjoy the book but they didn’t know how to place it in the right market who’d try it in large numbers.


So here it is.. I’ve tried to solve those problems myself. “A mystery, a lark, a look at the nature of dreams and a celebration of the triumph over suicidal ideation - Death of a Dream-Pedlar is a lively exploration into a curious world with an unforgettable heroine.


And to make it easier to try… the ebook is only 99p., Be brave, give it a go.




Oh, and I just made a hardback also.
