about me

I have completed two novels, 'Reaching for the Gods' and 'The Watchers' and hope to soon finish my third.

'Reaching for the Gods' is now available as a Kindle eBook, but due to KDP exclusivity rights, I've had to take down this book from Authonomy.

Many thanks to all those who have supported the book.

Anybody interested in self-publishing on Kindle might find the following site useful, as long the the term Smashwords Edition is deleted:-

With the right key words for the search engine, a book shouldn't get lost in the Kindle pile. There are also sites like squidoo that can help publicize ones work.

Honey Sweetheart The short and long pitches are well written and give the reader a clear idea of what this story is about. In the long pitch, the second 'sin' is somewhat repetitive. Suggest replace it with 'temptation'. "yet Honey doesn't know the Spirit." I think many readers wouldn't under... view book

I have given this book 6 stars for your writing, but perhaps more emphasis in the matriarchal aspect of Indian family orientated culture in the short and long pitches, especially with regard to the way matriarchs take the hardest line with errant young women. Backed. view book

You can certainly write, though some of the details might be a bit obscure for readers who are not familiar with Kuwait. Hope to sound constructive rather than negative. If you decide to re-work this book at a future date or haven't finished it yet or wish to write a sequel, hope you take on board s... view book

I find the subject of dreams fascinating. The content is vivid and well written. Stylistically, it might read more fluidly with longer sentences and shorter paragraphs.

With such an exotic location, a few more descriptions might be in order to transport the reader there: the heat and humidity/perspiration, smells, sounds, th... view book
