Recently, I asked everyone to help me chose the cover for my forthcoming Kindle book about real magicians through the ages and their strange feats of magic, alchemy and sorcery. The book will be called “Wizards, Warlocks and Magicians: Incredible True Stories of Magic and Sorcery”. The book will be released sometime next week…… Anyway, thanks for the great response to helping me chose that cover. The choice was between this cover idea and this cover idea… It is interesting to me just how divergent opinions were and to some extent that justifies my own inability to decide. However, in counting all the responses on Facebook and this site, the result is in. Here is the cover that 2/3rds of you voted for…. When it comes to Kindle books, I

I am very pleased to be able to say that there will be a 2nd Edition in the coming weeks of The Mystical Hexagram by Sue Vincent and myself. It will feature an all new cover, some additional content, some edits to the original content and will appear on the Asteroth’s Books publisher marque. The Mystical Hexagram is something of a ‘received’ text in part as much of the content came through meditation on the hexagram over a period of several years. It also features a set of exercises that are based on that received material to provide readers with a feel for the symbol themselves. The original edition of the book has received good reviews and feedback so we do hope the new edition will be equally well though

Not an hour ago the doorbell rang as the post person delivered my personal copy of My Haunted Life – Extreme Edition. I have to say that it is a solid book with reasonable girth running to 199 pages. The cover looks good too. It is a compilation of the three Kindle books – My Haunted Life, My Haunted Life Too and My Haunted Life 3 along with two, previously unpublished stories included at the end. In short, for the asking price, I think its high-value. While My Haunted Life Too, in particular, continues to sell like hot cakes and is almost a constant presence in the UK Amazon top 10,the paperback hasn’t sold very well at all. Yes, the paperback is a little more expensive than buying all three

Right. I have two cover ideas that I like and I cannot decide between them So, I am asking you to help me pick one.

Harry is, of course, fictional and for many people, wizards and warlocks are also just things of fiction. But what if I told you that I

As you might have read already, I will shortly release a new Kindle book called ‘Wizards, Warlocks And Magicians: Incredible True Stories of Magic and Sorcery‘. The MS is with the editor and should be finalized next week along with a cover. The cover though is always quite a decision. This will be a Kindle only book as there will not be a paperback version and that actually makes the decision on a cover a bit harder. With a paperback, you can pick it up, look at front and back and so on and make a decision whereas, with a Kindle book, it’s all about the cover initially as that is all you can see. Yes, you can look at a few pages as well but sometimes that ends up

A sample story from My Haunted Life 3 – available all of this week on Kindle for 99 cents. Growing up, I was in the local Church of England Choir. It wasn’t so much that I was religious, but I did love to sing. The weekly schedule was a practice one night per week and then both morning and evening services on Sunday. It was paid work too, but the regular pay was paltry – just a few pence per quarter of a year. No, the big-ticket item was a wedding for which you might get as much as 50p! Most weddings were held at the more picturesque parish church in a nearby village. This church was an old village church dating back to Norman times with it’s own cemetery

Overnight to my utter amazement, my new book “Ghost Tales from Hell” sold just over 2,500 copies and seems destined to seal my career as a writer of cheap Kindle thrill books. As I write, the book has reached No 1 in every amazon category available to it. Ghost Tails from Hell tells the sordid stories of several famous old magicians and their attempts to raise the dead and communicate with evil spirits and is said to be so frightening and scary that Amazon are considering restricting its availability to the over 18’s only and adding a mental health warning to it’s appallingly scary cover. I am already consulting with my lawyer to see if I am liable for the mental anguish the book has created in certain quarters. Meanwhile,
