A review!

Found the first review of my work, a review of the unfinished version of ‘Second Time Lucky?’ on Shelfari.com. Scored it as 3/5 stars, which isn’t bad for 3,000 words of a story without an ending. The link to the review is: http://www.shelfari.com/books/36611436/Second-Time-Lucky-/reviews/4244293 The full version of ‘Second Time Lucky?’ is now up on Amazon’s […]

Editing your own work.

I’ve spent the last week editing “Sovereign Nation”, a novel I wrote a while back but lost a bit of faith in when it was rejected by everyone I sent it to. Re-reading it I think it isn’t all that bad, there are certainly worse published novels out there, and I will definitely publish it […]

Archery, finally.

Finally got back to archery yesterday after a year to eighteen months off and it felt good. Well yesterday it felt good, today I just feel sore. No scoring this time, just practise. Shooting at a Portsmouth face and I got mostly red and gold so pretty good after a long lay off. Should be going […]

Archery and driving

Ok, I didn’t make it to archery on Saturday. I made the huge mistake of trying to get to the club with the help of Sat-Nav and ended up sitting in traffic through the City until my patience ran out. I’m booked in to go again this Saturday so hopefully that will work out better. […]

Thoughts on returning to archery.

Tomorrow I go back to my archery club (2020 Archery in London) for my first shooting session in nearly 18 months after various things (i.e. life) stopped me going. I’ve checked out my kit (Hoyt Horizon riser, Samick limbs @ only 20lbs, although with a 32″ draw more like 28lbs on the fingers) and everything […]

So, what happened?

Well, the first part of ‘Second Time Lucky?’ went up on Amazon and spent a week in it’s free promotion, total number of copies downloaded: 83. Maybe not in the hundreds or thousands but it’s good enough for me. No reviews, which is a shame, but no complaints either so it could be worse. I’m […]
