Cronus & Chaos update
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

Writing update
I've been asked a lot lately about book 4 in the Nomad Series so thought I'd give a bit of an update. I'm still working on it but have had a little problem. I also started a new series and those characters are fighting for attention too. So, to keep everyone happy, I'm working on five books at the moment: book 4 and 5 from the Nomad Series and book 1,2 and 3 from a new paranormal type series. I'm hoping at least one of these 5 books will be wrapped up this year.
I'm giving

Cronus surpassed 100k words!
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'm still going...
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

An afternoon with Garvan
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

Snippet from Gryffin's past...
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

Revised new book idea!
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

New covers are LIVE!
I'm so pleased with the look of the new covers. I spent a lot of time searching for the best cover designers to work with and found Deranged Doctor Designs. After looking at their portfolio I was hooked. Amazon and Audible have been updated so (fingers crossed) only the new covers are now available. I'm still working on Book 4 and another book about Gryffin's past. Cronus is the priority but I keep getting pulled back into Gryffin's history. Gryffin says or does something in

New Nomad Series book idea
I'm still working through book 4, Cronus, and I'm really loving where the story is going. I do have a small problem, however. I've been enticed by another book idea. While working on Cronus, more about Gryffin's past has come to light. A lot of the characters are wondering about what made him the way he is. So, I decided to answer their questions. I've started working on a book about Gryffin's past - while still writing Cronus of course! It's going to cover from when Rayde fo

On a roll this week!
Another 1460 words done. I ended this session with a "cheery" comment from Gryffin to Terra. Oh dear... ‘I’m a Nomad, Terra. I’ll do whatever the hell I have to to protect my ship and my crew. When it comes to doing my job, I don’t have limits or a conscience . If you don’t get that, Ares isn’t the ship for you.’ #book4 #writingupdate #selfpublishing #selfpublished #scrivener #Terra #scifi #narrator #NomadSeries #Nomad #Gryffin #cyborg #spaceopera

Marathon writing session
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

Hit 40k words!
It's taken a while but I finally surpassed the 40k word count mark! 41,872 to be exact. It's really starting to take shape now. Luckily, my characters are behaving for the moment which is really helping. Fingers crossed they keep it up! #Terra #scifi #spaceopera #spaceship #Gryffin #Nomad #NomadSeries #amwriting #scrivener #wordcount #novel #Cronus

I'm back to writing!
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

All set for the bookshop
I'm all set for the bookshop - books, flyers, bookmarks and small business cards - check! The Village Bookshop in Greystones, Co. Wicklow has agreed to stock my three books! Having my series in the local bookshop is a really big deal for me. Over the years I've spent hours in the bookshop searching for the next book to add to my shelf at home. Knowing that my series will be there beside all the other books feels amazing :) #villagebookshop #Greystones #paperback #cyborg #ares
