Hive in proofreading phase

Hive is finished and in the final proofreading phase. It should be published in early October.

First draft of Hive nearly completed

At 42k words, I'm nearing the finale and the final scenes of Hive. The end-plot is sorted, as is the fates of my characters. Soon, I'll be starting the unenviable task of reviewing and editing.

But while that's going on I can make a start of the followup to FOG.

Progress report for March 2015

Hive is progressing well, after a lull in writing activity. I'm up to 28k words, so about half-way through.

FOG sales have tailed off, but there's still a trickle going out. It's quite exciting that there's 800, or so, people out there who have read and enjoyed (mostly) the words 'wot I wrote'.

I'm also plotting a sequel to FOG - a what-happens-next tale. The preliminary title is Storm.

My good lady pointed out that I seem favour one-word titles. I hadn't noticed, but she's right. It seems right, as well.

Hive expected in 2015

In the world of Stan, it's 25 years since The Fall

Humanity has been subjugated. They fell off the brink ... to the wrong side. Alien parasites are endemic. Earth is now one big hive, with everyone interconnected by the grid - a parasitic internet.

Except for the rejects - the ones that the grid rejects.

FOG sales continue to climb

FOG is selling well on Amazon. It's not doing well on other platforms, but I put that down to marketing. Amazon pro-actively market their books, whereas people like Kobo, etc., don't.

Hive takes shape

This is the sequel to Stan. It's called Hive. You can find it here.

I've tried not to make it a traditional 'Book 2 of a trilogy', as I hate them. It's set in the same reality as Stan, but 25 years on. Much has changed.

But some hasn't.

Sequel to Stan

The sequel to Stan is taking shape. I've got my plot outline sorted out, locations and characters. I've even started writing it! It's set 25 years after the end of Stan.

Now, what can I blow up this time?
