A few media pieces
The Return of the Mullet Hunter continues to sell slowly but steadily, and I’m grateful to everyone who’s bought a copy. This is the second of five free days, as well, and quite a few copies are shifting through that too. It’s all been aided by a few bits of media attention that the book…
The quiet launch of TROTMH
Well, The Return of the Mullet Hunter is out. It’s an odd feeling, launching a book on Kindle. You just press a button, and it’s there. Well, you press quite a few buttons, faff around with various technicalities, wait a while and then it’s there. And not just “there”, but there in different Amazon sites…
Cover story
In my previous post I reflected on some of the aspects of self-publishing. Making a good cover is obviously one of the most important ones, because it is the “public face” of a book, the thing that will draw people in and catch folks’ eyes. The cover also has to tell a story in itself…

Competition experiment
Out of a modicum of boredom more than anything else, I conducted a little experiment last week. I have a pile of copies of my first book, Up The Creek Without a Mullet (I may have mentioned it here once or twice), and decided to run little competitions on each of the social media platforms…
The sequel – a progress update
The (self-imposed) deadline looms. As is all too depressingly obvious, it’s not long until Christmas and that is my deadline for finishing off my second book. This will, as I may have mentioned before, run on from UTCWAM, chart my adventures in England, Canada, New Zealand and the western USA, and effectively bring the mission…
