Go on - read some fantasy

Last week I extolled the values of great science fiction.  This week I'm doing the same for fantasy - so go on, put aside those prejudices of 'genre' fiction and read some fantasy: http://wp.me/p3ycbY-1cq

New book launch - learning from past mistakes

For my next soon-to-be book launch I have more activities planned.  However, knowing that I need to vastly improve on my launch activities for my new book and putting together a coherent program are two different things.  My blog: http://wp.me/p3ycbY-1bV

The responsibilities of a self publishing author

Free Download - 'A Companion to the Future'

This week's blog is about the launch of my free download, 'A Companion to the Future'.  It covers topics such as: Technologies of the future, our relationships with them and the impact they will have on our lives; What our future societies might look like; The role and impact of science fiction.  There are also a few articles that I hope will make you smile. This is aimed at any one with an interest in our future, as well as anyone who writes or reads science fiction.
