Two posts at the weekend?! What’s going on?

Unfortunately, it’s not progress on the Ghostbusters project, as work has been Hell this week and my weekend is also pretty stuffed with non-hobby stuff.

So what’s this post about then?

Well, long-standing followers of this blog will be aware that I have written a fantasy novel, which I serialised over on the Buffet’s sister blog Corvuscope, as none of the literary agents I contacted seemed interested and I wanted to give people the opportunity to enjoy it.

Various people had commented that this was not the most ideal way to view it, due to the way WordPress is set up. And whilst I flirted with doing a podcast of each chapter, this takes time to do and as I end up doing silly voices when I’m trying to differentiate between characters, this wasn’t the best option either.

A friend suggested self-publishing, so I looked into this, weighing the pros and cons of each platform, eventually deciding that Amazon’s KDP was probably the best option.

I struggled a little with their UI, as it wouldn’t do exactly what I wanted at first, but valiantly soldiered on.

The end result is that you can now buy CrowNomancer from Amazon, as both an ebook and a paperback – https://a.co/d/0c5T88J

So, what are you waiting for? Christmas creeps ever closer and what better gift than a book that has thrills, spells, giant weasels, a fourth-dimensional entity manifesting as a cat and a protagonist who  has no idea what he’s doing and doesn’t really want to be there in the first place?

Tell all your friends! Better yet, buy them a copy! And all you family as well! I mean, Tiny Tim’s cough is getting worse and Mr Scrooge seems highly unlikely to give me a pay rise, so you’ll not only be getting a fantastic read, you’ll be potentially saving a young boy’s life…
