Different Tracks

I’m delighted to have had my first adult anthology of short stories published as an e-book. For a limited period only, Crafty Publishing is giving away free downloads of Different Tracks.different-tracks

Two of these stories were written when I did my MA in Creative Writing at Northumbria University. The third, Enemy Lines, was made into a short film by FNA films. It was screened at festivals in New York, Jersey, Newcastle and London. You can see a taster of the film here.

I have adapted and extended another of the stories, Another Man’s Shoes, into a feature-length screenplay. Although it has still to attract a producer, the screenplay was a semi-finalist at the Socal Film Festival in California in 2009.

But now, for the very first time, you can read the original stories as they were first written.

The Yacht Trip
Can a ghostly meeting on a remote Northumberland coast prevent a tragedy?

Enemy Lines
A soldier and a war protester change sides. Will love conquer all?

Another Man’s Shoes
It is said we all have a doppelganger. But what happens if yours is already dead?

‘Different Tracks: sometimes it’s only when you change tracks that you realise the route you should have taken.

Guest blogging about Crafty Publishing

This week I’ve been the guest blogger on the UK Christian Bookshop Blog. It’s the second time I’ve been let loose on this forum by the risk-taking editor, Phil Groom. Thanks to Phil and the last guest blog I did, my little publishing company, Crafty Publishing made some inroads into UK Christian bookshops with our Young David books. I’m also musing about the growing e-book market and how my first e-novel The Peace Garden is faring. You can read all about it over at UKCBB website.

David and the Kingmaker is going to press

I’ve just finished proofreading the second picture book in my Young David Books series – David and the Kingmaker. My erstwhile illustrator Amy Barnes has done an amazing job with the illustrations and I can’t wait for it to get into the shops for Christmas.

To read more about David and the Kingmaker and the first book in the series, David and the Hairy Beast, head over to the Young Bible Heroes website. If you are a writer who wants to learn how to write picture books then I give a quick tutorial of this on my writing advice blog The Crafty Writer.
