Where have you been?
You have a film clip section, what's that all about?
I had interest from a Hollywood producer who made the trailer that is on the website. The aim is to use that trailer to entice a film studio to make the full movie OR raise funds to do it ourselves. Both options are being explored. I’ll keep you posted!
Can you help me with writing advice?
Sorry, I do wish I could but I just don't have the time!
Are you still doing everything yourself?
A lot of it yes - from writing to publishing and most in between. However, that might be about to change. I hope to be able to just concentrate on writing (and promotion) in the not-too-distant future. Keep an eye on the News section of this website for further details.
How many copies of The Key to Chintak have you sold?
Well over 10000.
Are you rich?
Nope!
Do you have any other stories apart from the Zamorian Chronicles?
Yes, lots of ideas, but time has not been on my side. I’ll get there though.
Can you visit my school?
I stopped going to schools in 2007 - aside from the odd time for my kids. I do plan to return to schools, but I’m not ready to commit just yet.
Who is your favourite author?
Lots! Here are a select few… Enid Blyton, JK Rowling, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Roald Dahl, AA Milne. I like most genres except adult horror!
Did you like reading at school?
Not really. I found it difficult to concentrate. But when I did I enjoyed it. I read more now though!
Can you tell me about your signed books?
Collectors - The ISBN No. changed from 1905200064 to 1905200137 due to the book being resized - because that's what my target audience wanted! The text remained the same, as did the cover design, but the pages increased from 197 to 329.
1905200064 is no longer being printed. About 1000 in circulation. 100 dedicated to Martlets Hospice.
1905200137 about 4000 in circulation, but will be replaced with the 'Second edition - first impression' version on March 30th 2006.
NOTE: The second edition cover was put on the first edition imprint of 1905200137 for a promotion at Borders, Brighton. 200 copies only - one-off print.
NOTE: All books, prior to 'Second edition - first impression', were Print on Demand. 'Second edition - first impression' is 6000+ copies.
There is also a small amount of proofs (of all versions) knocking around.
The third edition is coming soon. New cover and fresh edit.
I hope that helps!!
