October was quite a miserable sales month for me. Too busy working on background stuff to do much marketing. So on that note...
If you're looking for some dark swashbuckling fantasy then have I got a thriller for you, free to read with Kindle Unlimited:

Trust YouTube to take something clean that worked well (the pop-up list of your playlists when you chose to save something) and purposefully make it shit. Imagine the kind of moron it takes to a) do this and then b) think it was an improvement worth going live with.

Looking for a bit of swashbuckling fantasy for your next autumn read? Fancy a change from the medieval stuff to some matchlock fantasy? Something a bit like 'The Three Musketeers', if d'Artagnan was actually John McClane? Then check out my first book 'A Blade For Hire'.

Arguably my favourite thing about being a writer is that I get to watch a ton of movies and claim it's all in the name of researching narrative and structure, which it totally is. Like, this totally:

It's that time of the month when I remember that if I want people to buy my books, I actually have to tell them they exist. So, if you have a swashbuckling fantasy shaped hole in your TBR for a bit 'The Three Musketeers, if d'Artagnan was actually John McClane', then check this out!

I see your fantasy masterwork about a broken sword and raise you... a man with a broken sword. And not just any man. THE man.
(This is genuinely quite funny placement to me, but it'd be funnier if they were next to one another).

If you're on the UK amazon you can save a whopping... 5%, if you buy my latest book along with three other qualifying items. That'll save you like 49p, which is almost half of a quid, which leaves you just a penny shy of being able to buy a packet of Strawberry Chewits in Tesco
