Of all the books I have written or, in this case, co-written, this has to still be my favourite cover. Drawn and inked by Tom Morgan-Jones - The Inky Mess Man - it has such life and vitality! The book, a SF satire of the near future, isn't half bad either. www.amazon.co.uk/Resurrection...

I need to do more promotion. If you like Arthurian myths, a sprinkle of magic and an investigative swordsman with a big secret, I suggest you give this a read. Promotion done! #Camelot #Arthur #detectivefiction #booksky

Glam Pt 2. Except – reading on – it turned out I hadn't made the longlist.
What?
Nobody said there was a longer list! Top 6% it seems. I'm going to get the T Shirt made. 'Top 6%'.
Anybody interested in 15000 words of memoir? The name 'Glam' is a clue as to the contents.

Glam Pt 1. I received an email today from the Bridport Prize to say I had reached the second stage of their Memoir competition, with my entry called 'Glam. I immediately got very excited, especially as I had already written the extra 10000 words you needed to add if you made the longlist. Whoop!
