"THE ELECTION"

I will be running another free promotion of the Kindle edition of The Election commencing at 12 am Pacific Standard Time (US) on 01 February 2013 and finishing at 11:59 pm on 02 February 2013.

AUTHOR TALK

I had a great morning at Probus Club, Mt Tamborine yesterday.  I talked mainly about Calvus but touched on The Election too, and of course my background and my journey to becoming a published writer.  I am currently in communication with other organisations and it looks like shaping up into a good year for author talks and book signings.

AUTHOR TALKS

My next author talk and book signing will be for Probus Club, Mt Tamborine scheduled for 11:00 am on Wednesday 16 January.

"CALVUS"

I've had my first review of Calvus and it is positive. It is by Anastasia Gonis and can be seen on the publisher's website:  www.morrispublishingaustralia.com.au in the "News Update Blog" section.

Just received the publisher's November sales report too and there have been sales in Australia, the UK and the US through various outlets.  It's looking good for 2013.

NEW BOOKS

I recently sold five copies of Calvus to members of a book club in Brisbane.  I'm not sure how sales are going overall as I await some form of report from the publisher.  However, I will shortly be embarking on a sales promotion of my own to help things along.

In the meantime, should anyone actually happen upon and read this blog, I wish all my fans, real and potential, a very merry Christmas and a happy and rewarding new year.

"THE ELECTION"

The Kindle edition of The Election will be offered FREE on Amazon's website from 6:00 pm Thursday 22 November until 6:00 pm Saturday 24 November.

NEW BOOKS

Another day, another sale.  A copy of Calvus was sold yesterday at Supanova, Brisbane, to a fellow author, Kevin Webb, no less.  It was relatively quiet at the Morris Publishing Australia stall but that is to be expected.  It was MPA's first appearance at Supanova and the pop culture exhibition attracts people who would not be that interested in a lot of their novels, including Calvus.  It is certainly worth attending these shows to get ourselves "out there."

Speaking of which, I will be signing copies of The Election and Calvus at the GCWA meeting, Fradgley Hall, Burleigh Heads between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm this Saturday 17 November.
