Interview with Mercedes Fox

12/27/2015

0 Comments

 
One of the nicest things about being an author, is meeting other authors - I meet a lot through Twitter and many through Goodreads.

The very lovely Mercedes Fox invited me to do a Q&A for her writing blog's - Meet The Author - slot. I was exceedingly happy to agree - you will find the interview here - CLICK

You can also find Mercedes Fox here on her Goodreads Profile Page, and her Amazon Author Page.

I hope you manage to stop by the blog and enjoy the Q&As.

My thanks to Mercedes for her generosity and kindness.

Christmas  Day 2015

12/25/2015

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!

I am so happy to be at home for the holidays - and I have never known it to be so warm on Christmas Day here on the mountain - about 12 degrees C right now at 10:20 am - awesome.

Last night we published the box set edition of The Tales of the Unexpected - series one. All 6 stories can now be enjoyed in one volume - click here

News also of a brand new series - I am guessing this will turn into a series - a steampunk-style series of madcap, romantic adventures featuring the indomitable Captain Du Bon Le Phare - a name inspired by the leading brand of harissa paste sold here in France - I have no idea where these ideas come from, I just write them down. I was struggling with my WIP projects, just unable to focus until yesterday morning when I went to the kitchen and saw the paste on the shelf - the packaging is very distinctive - and the name jumped out at me - and the story was born - and I have been writing nothing else since.

I accept it as my muse's Christmas present to me - Thank you, Muse.

I am also absolutely thrilled to announce that the first part of The Great Dane Saga - The Life and Times of Dane Danois - which is titled Too Much Too Little Too Late - is in the final stages of the editing process/cover re-design, and due out very soon - the title has been absent from the shelf - as has the whole series - since August 2014. The series is going to start re-appearing during the course of the first half of 2016.

One story remains to be re-edited and put back out after an absence of nearly 18 months - Grand Affair - but at 500 pages - no mean feat - we are working on it.

Hoping that you have the perfect Christmas.
Be safe.
Love,
Alp

Back home ...

12/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Arrived back home in France last night after a fairly non-eventful and delay-free trip from Indiana via the Isle of Wight, London and Paris.

No snow; in fact, it's sunny and 13 degrees C at the moment - and the forecast is pretty good for the next two weeks.

So much to catch up on here but first and foremost, must see friends who I haven't seen for nearly a year - and find the charger for my French mobile phone.

Current writing focus is actually the editing/review of the first part of the Great Dane Saga - Too Much, Too Little, Too Late - aiming to have that back on the shelf in January after an absence of over a year. All 6 parts of the saga will eventually make it back onto the shelf along with the title Grand Affair during 2016 (nearly 1200 pages of romance in the pipeline).

Three short stories are also taking shape - Who Is Roger Calvert?, Wood For The Trees, and Cocoon.

I penned a list of all the stuff I plan to write in 2016, and realised that I would need days as long as those on Venus, and a year as long as Pluto's - all the time I have more to write than I can possibly contemplate, I am happy.

Hoping the gods are treating you well.

Relocation, relocation, relocation ...

12/4/2015

0 Comments

 
On 11th December 2015, I will be relocating back to Europe, after 6 glorious months here in Jeffersonville, Indiana, staying with Shannon. I have been spoiled completely rotten, and take with me so many good memories.

I'll be popping over to the Isle of Wight as soon as I arrive in the UK, before heading home to The Vosges, the retreat, the dog, and the snow ... there will inevitably be some disruption to normal office hours and activities until I get back to 24/7 internet access, from on or around the 18th December.

Getting back to France also means that Chambers and I can get cracking on the Inspector Fenchurch Mysteries - series 2, and the completion of Zac Tremble Investigates - series 2 (plus the two outstanding Zac novellas), and some preparatory work for Johnny Sante - series 2.

A change of scene will hopefully also kickstart the process of getting Dark Energy written (sequel to Dark Matter), finishing The Map Stick series, and getting the next Weaver & Loom story out (Caravan to Calvaire - an Oswald Senator story) - plus some poetry, and about 753 other WIP projects ...

2016 will also see more author spotlight features published on this website.

Thank you for your amazing support and encouragement.
