It’s been a weird couple of weeks.
First I’m asked to consider writing a novella for a continent-based
project – a project that has practically no limitations other than
the word count – and then The Secret War edits turn into something
more extensive. My copy-editor has put in a fair number of hours
doing the edits so far, but as they are being done for nowt, they
coming in a bit slow which means delaying The Secret War for a few
weeks.
Which isn’t a bad thing. By
publishing around 10th September I can be certain it will
get to you, the reader, in tip-top shape.
On top of that, I’m branching out
into iBooks too. So expect an enhanced ebook of the Secret War coming
out soon via Apple, one that has interviews, readings, animations and
music. It should be fun.

After a couple of bad days regarding
the health of our second son, this is welcome relief. I guess that’s
what’s made this a strange couple of weeks, and nervy ones. As a
parent you spend most of your time keeping alive your baby – and it
takes a lot out of you. Just as the writing does, for different
reasons.
Here’s hoping that the next few
months are easier on both the writing and the family ...
