News & Fiction

A member of the British aristocracy has been in the news media rather a lot recently and it took me a moment to remember that I had included a very minor scene in one of the stories that included the name of said person. Today that's been airbrushed out of the story.

I don't remember having to do this before, but I guess it might happen again as my stories live in the Real World (tm)

Winter scribbling planning

My next Kindle release will be 'Deathtrap', incorporating the Aftermath story. It is being fully revised with new, previously unseen, content. Of course, Alecia is on board for that. Currently that is expected in late November but ... sometimes things happen sooner!

Meanwhile there are two brand new Tammyverse stories in production with one just about finished. Unfortunately they can't be posted here yet but there will be fresh, unseen, Tammy on this site before Christmas! Posting is likely to continue into 2022, after which there will be a break.

From a Diary to a Novel

It's taken some considerable number of months but I've managed to finish the conversion of the short first-person Tammy's Summer Diary into Tammy's Summer Fling, a 64k word novel.

What this means is that I now have a little more time available and will split this for two writing projects. The first of these is the third Unaccounted Gains Book (currently expected on Kindle in August) and the second project is a brand new Tammy story that will be premiered here later this summer.

Shiraz vs Amazon ...

The battle lines have been drawn, will I or Amazon be the victors?

My problem is that Amazon seems to object to my books living anywhere else on the internet. This isn't a new issue, and many published authors have hit the same problem, but usually it is a simple issue to fix.

Not this time, I loaded Testing Times onto Kindle a week back and that took a day to be authorised, but it's the paperback that's giving me trouble. To be honest, I'm only putting a paperback option on Amazon for completeness (plus so I can have a dead-tree edition on my bookshelf!)

John le Carre

Sad to hear of John Le Carre's passing tonight. I was first familiar with his work when Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was first dramatised by the BBC in 1979 and was hooked on the stories.

It's fair to say I borrowed a little from the genre, particularly for the Unaccounted Gains books.

A real loss to literature. Rest in peace.

Scribbles update

A quick update on scribbling.

Firstly BCTS: Tammy's Interlude stories concluded last weekend. The next story 'Deja Flew', in conjunction with Snowfall, will start in a few weeks and will likely run (just) into the New Year. Then there will be a break.

The re-post of Unaccounted Gains Book 1 ('Accountancy Can Be Deadly') concludes shortly. Book 2 ('Spying by Numbers') will be re-posted after UG3 is published on Kindle.
