My novella, 'The Reconstruction of Kasper Clark', has been accepted for inclusion in The Butcher Shop Quartet. Any regular readers of this blog will know, without being told, how chuffed I am to announce this.
The Reconstruction of Kasper Clarke is a story that needs to be read. I look forward to seeing it in print. And I gather that there's been an extra 1000 words added since I read it. That's a good enough excuse for me to buy it.
Now that you have a bit more time on your hands perhaps your next step should be a novel?
A novel is getting closer. I've actually got a 90,000 word novel in a folder marked 'scraps' on my computer. Some of it -- the last few chapters -- is salvageable, so... I remember working on that novel though, and it took over my life for nearly 18 months. It's a very daunting thing is a novel.
I've certainly got more time on my hands now than I've ever had so no excuses, I shall begin the novels (note the plural!) soon. I have one more short story to do before I can give the novels my full attention; a story set just after WWI about the influenza pandemic.
I was born a few days before England won the World Cup. I am a hubby to Jill and a daddy to Heather, and we all live together in the fairest city of all England.

Congratulations man,

Go on, I dare you!

90,000? Good on ya!
I can imagine how much mind time it would take up. Not something I'm going to jump into just yet. Well good luck with it.
Congratulations!
I second the call for a novel.
