Since my wife and I welcomed a baby into our family earlier in 2018, I’ve given myself permission to not do any writing. A sort of maternity leave, if you will, although anyone who understands the desire to write knows that it’s not a job in the usual way. Sure, the publishing side of things is very much an actual job, but the itch to tell a story is something else.

I intend to return to writing full time in 2019, but am already putting a cautious toe back in the water to remember what it’s like to sit at the laptop and try to find the right words. To invest in fictional characters, rather than focus on the real tiny human who needs me so much.

With Halloween already upon us, vampires are the order of the day. All the books in my Lazarus Hunter series will be either free or on sale this week*. A welcome back to myself.

Blood Inheritance – Free until 2nd October.

Black Market Blood (book 2) and Shadows of Blood (book 3) are both on a time-limited 0.99 offer.

*price applies to most Amazon marketplaces

Although this series has never been the main focus of my writing, I absolutely love it. This was the story I wanted to tell for me, back when Buffy ended its TV run and there was nothing else to take its place. I’m not sure there ever will be, but for now, I’m happy to create my own little world that will, in theory, reach seven books someday!
