Mother, Dearest: Chapter Six - Read by Tony Carpenter, Now on YouTube.

Hi everyone,

Me again, your friendly, neighbourhood pansexual/nonbinary author.

Over on my YouTube page, you will find a new video of the wonderful Tony Carpenter reading what may be one of my favourite chapters in the whole of the first Mother, Dearest novel.

Chapter six is is where the character of Trent shows his true self and it was one of my favourite ones to write. I tried to give it the vibe of a 1980's horror movie without going too over the top with it. Hopefully that was successful.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention how amazed I am at the job that Tony Carpenter did at bringing my characters to life. He's perhaps best known for his turn as Stan Laurel in the stage shows by Lucky Dog Productions and other such stage shows. He's an actor, and voice artist, with a great calibre and level of talent so I honestly feel so lucky to have had him read the book itself.

The audiobook itself is available now from My Gumroad Shop Now!

Now, as always, remember one thing.

"My Favourite LGBTQ+ Recommendations: Episode Two" is now live on my YouTube channel!

Hi everyone,

As the title above suggests, the second episode of "My Favourite LGBTQ+ Recommendations" series is now live on my YouTube channel.

For this episode we talk about the wonderful book "Labours of Stone" by EM Harding, a romantic story with a comedic twist.

The book is available from Amazon now, so get yourself a copy.

Now, remember one thing for me, just one.

New Video Series on my YouTube Channel

Hello, everyone.

It's me again.

Over on my YouTube channel is a new video which, I hope, will be the first in a series. I'm going to be talking about some of my favourite LGBTQ recommendations. This one is rather short, as I'm both testing the idea out and also trying to get over my lack of confidence, but I'm hoping it's at least enjoyable.

I really feel that there is a serious lack of promotion for LGBTQ novels, novellas, short stories, anthologies, and things like that, and I want to do my part, as an LGBTQ author myself, to help others promote their work.

I might even have a go at having guests in to do videos of their own LGBTQ recommendations.

If you like the video, then please like and subscribe, or even share if you should wish to.

Now, before I go, I have one request and it's a simple one. It's to remember one thing.

Time to Burn Trailer Reveal!

I had a great time co-writing Time to Burn with Golda Evans. It's a time hopping, science fiction adventure that deals with grief, loss, revenge, and regret.

The thing I loved the most about writing it was the simple fact that, before Golda asked me to be a part of it, I'd only written the first Mother, Dearest novel. Obviously that was a completely different genre but, as we are both huge science fiction nerds, I jumped at the chance.

What most people don't know though is that it was originally going to be a comic book/graphic novel but we couldn't land on an art style that we both liked.

Since it was released, we were given a wonderful compliment about the book. It was compared to the 1997 movie Event Horizon, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Laurence Fishburne. It's actually one of my favourite science fiction movies because of how it deals with insanity, horror, and the vast, terrifyingly large expanse that is space. If you've never checked it out, then watch the trailer below for a taster then go find it on a streaming channel, on DVD, on Blu Ray, hell, go to the drive through, I don't know. Just watch it. It's superb.

With that in mind, despite not knowing what I'm doing, I decided to make a snazzy* book trailer for what is, one of my favourite books I've been a part of, and then post it over on my YouTube channel.

*snazzy = cheesy, 80's style trailer that I love.

It was fun to make and I hope you like it.

Time to Burn is available now from Amazon, Gumroad, and Etsy.

Always remember one thing for me.

An Introduction to my Work: My YouTube Channel

 

Hi everybody!

Yes, I know, it's me again. Sick of me yet?

I was sitting around trying to think of ways of introducing people to my work, as my books are something that I am incredibly proud of having created.

That's why I have started creating little mini videos to introduce the themes, and the stories, that I have created.

Over the next few weeks, I will be adding the videos to my new YouTube channel, and then adding other things here and there.

Yes, I know, YouTube isn't my forte but, you know what, I'm going to give it a try.

If you want to take a look at what's gone up so far, introductions to the Mother, Dearest trilogy and Flesh Tones: An Anthology, then check out the channel here!

Hear Chapter One of Mother, Dearest: Book One Now!

 

Hi everyone!

I've created an author YouTube page and have uploaded a reading of chapter one from the first Mother, Dearest book.

As you know, the trilogy is an LGBTQ+ led dark urban fantasy adventure that I am incredibly proud of. It has since been turned into an audiobook, with book two coming in the future, read by the supremely talented actor and performer by the name of Tony Carpenter.

If you like what you hear, and we hope you do, then the audiobook is available from my Gumroad shop here!

Finally, should you wish to read the whole adventure, in both Kindle and paperback format, then just visit my Amazon page here!

All in all, it's been a busy time since I last wrote in this blog but I hope to write a heck of a lot more often here.

Love you all and remember, trans rights are human rights.
