Bye bye for now

I’m taking a short break from blogging… due to blogger’s block which in turn is due to being too engrossed with the drafting of the current novel. Once I’ve finished the 2nd draft, I can then concentrate on blogging something more relevant and coherent.

Needs must, you see.

And by the way… pop the corks – because Macmillan New Writing is 1 year old. Well, actually it’s a bit older than that, but it’s been one year this month when the first books were published. That’s 12 months, 17 books - mine included - and some notable successes along the way. Still no bestsellers, but I think that might change in the future, looking at the list for 2007 - including Borderlands by Brian McGilloway (which has had some good write-ups) out this month and David Isaak's Smite the Waters (out September).

I would pop a cork too, but I had a heavy weekend and need to be clear and focused for the final push – or rather the last two chapters. Two chapters that will end The Secret of Mhorrer with a big fat bang.

It’s gonna get nasty…
