You spend days, weeks, years bringing them to life. Nurturing them. Getting to know what makes them tick. What drives their actions and their emotions. You'd think after all that time together you would build a relationship of sorts. Have each other's backs. But it seems that's not the case. In my latest book, Gryffin is in a particularly difficult situation - personally and physically - and instead of trying to help me figure a way to get him out of it, he's doing nothing. F

Another 4423 words for Cronus and 1791 on Chaos since my last update. Cronus is coming together nicely - had a bit of an epiphany last night. I now have the first half wrapped up and an ending - just need to connect the two. Easy! 🤨🤔😁 #spacepirate #NomadSeriesHunter #workinprogress #NomadSeries #Gryffin #cyborg #Cronus #Chaos #spaceship #sciencefiction #scifi #KAFinn #Ares #Nemesis #Perses

Things have been a little crazy lately thanks to moving back to Ireland but I'm still finding a little time every day to spend with Gryffin and the gang. The word count on Cronus is 102K and the 'how it all began' for Gryffin and Bray is heading towards 30k. There are another two books in the works which I'm really excited about but I'll keep them to myself until they're looking a little healthier. In the meantime, here's a small (unedited) snippet from tonight's session. Gry

I haven't posted for a while but that doesn't mean I've forgotten all about book 4. I'm still working on it along with another Nomad book based on Bray and Gryffin's background. Life is seriously hectic right now but I am 100% committed to continuing with the series. A lot of exciting stuff happens in book 4 and I really want to do it justice. To keep you going, I've included a small snippet from my 2nd favourite character, Garvan. The more time I spend with this guy the more

I'm thrilled that Ares has been nominated for the Topshelf Indie Book Awards! I don't know who nominated the book but I would like to say a big thank you 😁. Fingers and toes crossed !!! #nomad #nomadseries #topshelf #indie #awards #Ares #scifi #spaceopera #sciencefiction #cyborg #nomination #nominated

I added another 1115 words to the tally for Cronus today. I spent some time with the suave Garvan who, even in a sticky situation, still makes me smile. The continued lack of response finally gets to One. He stands up and beats his fist against the panel at the side of the bars. ‘Answer me!’ Garvan slowly sits up, a big grin on his face. ‘Oh, hey Harvey. How long have you been there?’ One hits the panel again. ‘You will respect me!’ Garvan gets to his feet and crosses his

I sat down to write more of Cronus but this took over instead. I hadn't planned on going this far back in to Gryffin's past for the next book but it came out and I wasn't going to get in the way. It's unedited so forgive any errors. :) Maggie Sawyer closes the small bag and places it on the bed beside her. She watches Daegan pack his wash bag as Bray plays with his toys on the floor. She smiles when he ignores the hairbrush by the sink and closes the bag. She’s not surprised

A few weeks ago I said that I was writing a book about how Gryffin... well, became Gryffin. I've just had a 'light bulb going on in head' moment! (Actual footage of moment below) I'm writing Cronus at the same time and - if you've read the other books in the series - you know that I like to take the story from different viewpoints. Gryffin's story was a little short on that so I've decided that he can share the book with his little brother. He's not usually one for sharing bu

I woke up to very exciting news! Perses (narrated by Keith Michaelson) is finalist in the 2018 ABR Audiobook Listeners Awards! Wohoo!. As it's a listeners award, if Perses is to have any chance of winning, I need you guys to vote for the audiobook. The link is below. Thanks!

Another marathon session done :) Over 2k wrods! I want to keep going but my brain is shutting down for the night. I focused on Gryffin's part of the story tonight and I doubt he'd be thanking me. He found himself in a position where he had no choice but to make a life changing decision that will put serious pressure on his already strained relationships. I can't help but feel really sorry for him - I just can't give him a break 😞 #selfpublished #selfpublishing #scrivener #Te

It seems like a very long time since I seriously worked on my books. Having a baby 7 months ago sort of took priority :) But my characters aren't prepared to wait in the dark any longer - they're getting a tad impatient and incredibly bored! So, to help with their (and my) frustration I've contacted Misty Evans. She is an incredibly talented author who also helps other authors plot their books. She was invaluable helping me on Nemesis and Perses and I've started the ball roll

I had a great start to the day - 2 amazing 5 star reviews for the audio version of Perses! #reviews #audibe #audiobook #amazon #perses #nomad #NomadSeries #amwriting #sciencefiction #scifi #scifi

The super talented Maroot has just completed another illustration based on my Nomad Series - this time featuring Chayse and Milla. Unfortunately, it leaves me with a bit of a problem - I now have 3 options for a cover illustration for the next book. I may have to put it to a vote! #convict #Nemesis #coverdesigner #book #devientart #cronus #novel #NomadSeries #nomadseries #sciencefiction #scifi #scifi #ebookcover #amwriting #writing

Keith narrating a small section of chapter 1 of Perses.

Sorry I've been so quiet lately. I had a baby girl at the end of November so I've been a little preoccupied :) Things are starting to fall into a somewhat chaotic routine now so I thought it's a good time to show my face here again and give a little update. Perses had been edited, re-edited, proofread, re-proofread, formatted and loaded on Amazon ready for it's 7th January release date. Pre-orders for the book have been amazing so thank you to everyone who has ordered their c

I've spent the last few weeks formatting the three books into one boxset - not easy with over 300k words! Great fun!

I'm thrilled to announce that Perses (Book 3 in the Nomad Series) will be released for pre-order tomorrow (31st October) and will be available for download on the 7th January! Keith Michaelson will begin narrating the audiobook over the coming months. I'll send an update once the dates for this have been confirmed. In the meantime, you can check out the trailer for Perses and an excerpt read by Keith here I'll send a quick reminder on tomorrow along with the Amazon link. T

The amazing Jennifer from Gypsy Heart Editing returned the final draft last night. I parked myself in front of the screen for the morning and completed the last of the edits! It's done! Wohoo! I'll be loading it on Amazon tomorrow for pre-order with a release date in January. In the meantime, check out the trailer for Bray and Garvan's adventure. #spaceopera #nomad #brayden #KAFinn #scifi #sciencefiction #novel #trailer #space #spaceship #earth #foundation #perses #ares #neme
