I’ve made the difficult (and selfish) decision not to release/giveaway any of my books for free from now on.
Why? Well, simple.
Nobody reads anything they get given for free. But if you have to part with cash, readers read.

Father Karras: Why her? Why this girl?
Father Merrin: I think the point is to make us despair. To see ourselves as... animal and ugly. To make us reject the possibility that God could love us.

The whole collection was beautifully written and satisfying. Not relying singularly on linguistic ability, storytelling, emotions or creativity, but he pulled it together in a way not many people can.

The Skin We Feel Most Comfortable In highlights an author truly at the top of his game. It's a veritable banquet of horrors, all told in his own inimitable style, as he wields a pen like a scalpel, opening a vein with his words, rendering you speechless with his talent.

THE SKIN is filled with fantastic frights, fables, and fascinations; Craig Wallwork's talent ensures that it applies to both sides of this collection, the dark and the light. That deftness is impressive- even more so with the amount of heart also contained within. @stinasdemons.com

Then I wrote to be heard.
Then I wrote to get published.
Then I wrote to get an agent.
Then I wrote to make money.
Then I wrote to have an adaptation.
Then I wrote to keep distracted.
