What’s Up?

Well, here I am again.

I have been pretty quiet because of high anxiety caused by the US elections. I didn’t even realise that I was anxious until a flood of relief washed over me when it became obvious that Biden had won. Usually I give only passing notice to elections on the other side of the world, but this one was super-important: the stability of the whole world hung in the balance. We’re not out of the woods yet, that maniac who still occupies the White House can still do enormous damage. However, at least we now have hope that America will stand for true democracy (well okay, capitalist democracy) and not be completely over run by evil.

I realise Evil is a fraught word, and am usually loath to imagine it as an entity with a life of its own, but sometimes there doesn’t seem like any other explanation.

Anywho, that’s enough about politics, especially when I have no influence whatsoever on its ramifications.

Onto more immediate things. 

I have finished Book 2 of the Beaufort Mystery Series and copies of it are in the hands of my cadre of Beta Readers. I was aiming to publish before the end of the year but that’s just not going to happen.

Book 1 has undergone another and a final Title change and is now available as an ebook from Amazon as Escape to Danger. It will soon be available as a paperback from Amazon as well. I am awaiting the arrival of a proof copy. It’s supposed to arrive on 20th November, so all being well should be up before Xmas.

I am also having some copies of the paperback version printed by IngramSparks in Melbourne. I had intended having them in hand by now, but have had such a difficulty getting their requirements right. Hopefully, that is now in hand. Have any of you found difficulty or am I just a bit stupid?

I am planning to have an author reading/signing at the local Rollingstone Community Hall late November or early December, but that is assuming all will run smoothly from here on in. I won’t be holding my breath…yes, I will. I can’t help being a little bit excited…breathe in – 1. 2. 3. Breathe out. 

That is all for now so … Ciao for now, Percy Rose.

Novels, Short Stories, Writing

I’ve moved out…

I am going to re-publish this as an update and see if it appears on my FB page…here goes…..

Well hellloooo fans,   I have grown up, moved out and landed in my own new home. which is here, where you are, obviously.

It has been a learning curve all over again. Thank god WordPress is relatively easy to negotiate. By that I mean, I still made lots of mistakes and that’s why its taken me so long to write my first post…lol.

Still, I’m up and running now. There are presently three pages One with the collection of short stories and poems...Death, Danger and Dark Dreams. 

The second is simply titled Mysteries and presently has Book 1 of the Beaufort’s Landing series…Twin Powers (Psycho or Psychic) earlier known as… Death of a Twin.

The third page is titled Thrillers and though they are not yet published the page will lead you to to my very dark writing…killer diller, psychological thrillers. They are not for the faint-hearted. More about them soon…

Peruse the pages and let me know what you think.  Talk soon,  Percy Rose.

 

PS Well that didn’t work …this site is supposed to have gone Public, but nothing has happened. I will investigate and hopefully it will happen soon.
