Decided to break up the admin and do some more planning on Fyn Carter 3 this morning. Ginny is fully invested right from the start. She’s excited and has a feeling this will be something special. I’m hopeful and encouraged by her confidence ☺️

Author Q&A: How do I choose which conventions to attend, and how do I do at them?

Question from @lwadewrites on Instagram.

I hope this helps. Please follow and engage. If you have a question you’d like me to consider, let me know in the comments. Thanks!

I want to ensure my actions are intentional, consider lessons learnt, and have a defined purpose.

Follow along for updates! Thanks (and Happy New Year)! Ian x

New year, new monthly goals!

After 20 months of trying various things on my author journey (since the publication of book one, ‘Fyn Carter and the Agents of Eromlos’) I’ve learnt a lot, and my word of the moment is ‘intentional’.

This year I’ll be trying some new things and learning from the experiences so far. Is there anything you’d like to see me try or report on? Have a great rest of your weekend.

Ah, bless the furbabies. Over the last two weeks they’ve both become proper lap cats. Assuming part of this is for warmth, but it’s definitely more than that. One last proper lie in today before back to things tomorrow.

Last minute gift shopping? There’s still time for these to arrive in time for Christmas, so if you or someone you love is looking for adventure and a bit of escapism (who isn’t?), why not take a chance on the Fyn Carter series or standalone spooky novel, The Shoe Creeper? 😁 Thank you x

Today is all about finances (catching up on receipts since… MAY!). Note to self: do this part better 😂 Still, I had sort of organised them which definitely helps. Later this week I’ll be prepping my first tax return as an author. This is the part of the job that’s not so much fun 😂

BIG THANK YOU, to Southampton City Libraries who are now stocking ‘The Shoe Creeper’ in six of their libraries along with the first two Fyn Carter books. Libraries are such important places and parts of our communities. I’m very grateful that my books can be found there 😁📖
