2016 has been such a raving dumpster fire that I occasionally have to remind myself it wasn’t all bad, and that some good things did indeed happen. For me, one of those things was the release of the latest in the Dark Dates series – Angel Falls, the sequel to Wolf Night, and a collection […]

It’s been another busy few weeks in Dark Dates towers, and I’ve had some great fun visiting various blogs. First off, it was over to Reflections of a Reader for their new segment, Monday Musings – where I talked about book buying habits, and why I can’t stop buying hardbacks even though I don’t actually […]
I’ve been insanely busy lately with both my directories work and my new (super exciting) gig reviewing for The Stage. But I haven’t entirely neglected Dark Dates, and have some fun promo stuff lined up over the next few months, and have connected with some great bloggers over the last few weeks. First up, was ‘My […]
I mentioned recently The Book Tart was one of my absolute fave bloggers – she’s so much fun, and we share a love of vintage and Dean Winchester, though not necessarily in that order – so I was delighted to be invited to join her on her virtual couch…

Welcome to the first in my occasional series of Blogger Spotlights – this time it’s Fangs for The Fantasy, whose thoughtful and often very funny reviews and articles are always worth a read, and they also deserve serious kudos for tackling serious issues in the urban fantasy sphere (though with a good measure of snark […]
Like many authors, I’ve been a little depressed by some of the hostility that seems to have arisen between (some of) the blogging community and authors over the past couple of years – its seems that the behaviour of a few overly entitled individuals has poisoned what should be a harmonious relationship, since we’re all […]
One of the pleasures of publishing is other people’s reactions to your writing: I don’t imagine there’s a writer out there who doesn’t love getting nice feedback. If you didn’t want readers to connect with your writing, you wouldn’t put it out there, and the validation that comes with a good review can’t be overstated. […]
This is an edited version of an old post, but it’s an issue I still see as vexing many indie authors in particular, as well as bloggers who get rightfully annoyed when they are spammed through sites like Goodreads and Twitter. So for what it’s worth, here are my tips. One of the key ways […]
