Thanks For Telling Me is out now

Thanks For Telling Me - a safe sex story - is out now - CLICK HERE

This is also my ​50th title, published by the Carter Seagrove Project.

There's a lot more to come and in no particular order, the following projects are in some state of WIP (there are words on a page ...)
  • He Protesteth Too Much - love across the front line
  • Caravan to Saint Clair - a Weaver & Loom story
  • Black Moon Rising - my first Sci Fi adventure

I really do need to knuckle down and get the editing done so that we can re-publish The Great Dane Saga and Grand Affaire - two stories which were removed from the shelf a year ago and desperately need to be re-edited and re-covered. However, 500,000 words is just too daunting a prospect right now, especially as I have so much new stuff to work on.

Chambers and I will soon be getting together to plan out The Inspector Fenchurch Mysteries - series 2. Agent X is the series opener and we have an outline of the story, which is set in New York for the most part.

Now that Morgan Starr is on-board, there's a good chance that we'll make some progress on Trojan Horse - the Space Opera, and various screenplay ideas, including LABELS.

Thank you so much for supporting me.

My 50th title coming soon ...

Very soon, the Project will be publishing my 50th title - 'Thanks For Telling Me' - a short story on the theme of safe sex.

I began self-publishing at the end of 2012, with no real expectations other than to have a lot of fun doing it - there really isn't anything like seeing your own book on the shelf - and it's still a lot of fun.

In July/August 2014 Amazon launched Kindle Unlimited - and ransacked my business - to which I responded by removing all of my work from the Amazon shelf. I began to sell direct from my own website, and then loaded everything onto Smashwords.

When The Carter Seagrove Project LLC came into existence, we had to make a choice about whether to use Amazon again or not - we did but vowed that we would never go exclusive with Amazon ever again - we still don't and won't.

From 4th February 2015, the Project has been working incredibly hard to re-edit and re-cover all of my work (and publish the work of Chambers Mars, Carter Seagrove and Shannon M Kirkland), and very soon, my 50th title, published by the Project, will hit the shelves - a short, safe sex story called Thanks For Telling Me.

I am thrilled of course - and immensely grateful to my colleagues who have showed such faith in me and my work.

As an indie publisher comprised solely of indie authors, we rely on the support of our readers and fans - we - and I, in particular - thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the unstinting support which you have given us.

Thank you so much.

Oswald's Lament

Oswald's Lament by Alp Mortal was published today. The story is from the Weaver & Loom family of stories.

Oswald's Lament is set in the time before The Boatwright and a few years after Oswald, Jonah and Magdala meet for the first time. In this story, the trio are reunited once again and celebrate their good fortune. The war is over and refugees are pouring into the city of Aubade. Two such refugees make a resounding impact: Drake, the foot soldier who escaped torture and death, steals Jonah's heart and Oswald is smitten by Dumah, a young captain of the guard.

Jonah's affair is all too brief but he regains his hope for the future. Oswald falls hard for the captain but the captain is not all that he seems and, in cavorting with him, Oswald risks everything.

Just when Oswald believes he has won love's greatest prize, it is snatched from his grasp, leaving him utterly forlorn. He asks a troubadour to compose a lament for him. The troubadour composes and recites the lament, giving Oswald back something which he never expected to reclaim.
