New Publication – The Collection

New Publication - The Collection Hi there, To celebrate my birthday, I've released a new book!. It's a collection of short stories, cunningly entitled … wait for it … THE COLLECTION. What’s in The Collection, you ask? Inside, you’ll find twenty-nine short stories and micro stories. There are humorous tales, biographical shorts, pure fiction pieces, and longer stories written to chill the blood. The Chamber, for example, the longest in THE COLLECTION, is one of the darkest stories I’ve ever written. Please don’t read this to your children at bedtime. I do hope you enjoy [...]

The Wanderer Returns

Hi guys, 2016 already? How the heck did that happen? It seems as though we were only celebrating the New Millennium a couple of years ago. Time marches, nay, sprints along. Jan and I, the wanderer, are safely home after our recent 16-hour journey (drive-ferry-drive) from Cheshire (UK) to Brittany (France). A kindly neighbour lit our paraffin heater a couple of hours before our return so at least the temperature in our front room had crawled above freezing point. The rest of the house though, was Arctic. From the above, you may have gathered that we don’t have central heating here in the [...]

Hey Jude — Welcome to the World

Hi guys, It’s been a while since I blogged. No excuses, I’ve been busy working on my latest novel, On Lucky Shores. It’s an adventure yarn set in the Colorado Rockies. Well, I finished the latest draft last Friday and sent the manuscript to my editor. Nothing I can do now but wait for her to hack it to pieces and return it (I can almost hear her cackling as she hits ‘send’). But more of that in another blog, this one’s about something completely different. Now, you know me, right? I’m a hard-arsed, insular, old-fashioned dude. I write crime [...]

June Update

Hi guys, It’s been a while since we’ve had a chat and I thought I’d let you know what’s been happening here at chez Donovan. My darling wife recently had a significant birthday and we’re in the middle of preparing to host a family gathering here in August. Fingers crossed for the weather. We’ve recently returned from a fortnight in the UK, visiting our family—two weeks that flew by. I always return exhausted from those trips, but happy to have seen our three children and three (soon to be four) grandchildren. That's the domestic news, now for the authorial front [...]

Release Day! The DCI Jones Casebook: Sean Freeman

Whoopee! Published today (9th May 2015), The DCI Jones Casebook: Sean Freeman. Hi guys, First, I’d like to thank everyone who pre-ordered a copy of the latest adventure starring the veteran detective, David Jones. Thanks millions. Happy, happy face. When I sent my latest baby into the world with a packed lunch, a bottle of water, and instructions to fend for itself, I was truly terrified. However, watching the pre-order numbers climb over the past week or so has given me confidence that my precious infant will find many new homes and have a happy and full life. I now [...]

Navigating the Writing Path

Navigating the Writing Path from Start to Finish – I C Publishing Summer Blog Tour I’m going to start by thanking Danielle and Clifford Rush for inviting me to join the tour. Check out No Eye Has Seen– superb stuff. Thanks also go to the sponsor I C Publishing  Twitter hashtag for the tour: #ICBlogTour. 1. Share how you start your writing project(s). For example, where do you find inspiration? Do you outline? Do you jump right into the writing? Do you do all of your research first? I have absolutely no idea where my ideas come from. Inspiration differs from book to book. [...]
