When I launched Mont Noir, I tweeted every time it got published in a new time zone.

I’m not going to do that now, but I will say this.

A Sky Without Stars is available in Australia!!!

Happy October! 🎃👻
Enjoy this photo of me at the moment Amazon finally approves A Sky Without Stars.

Suzanne Vega was as witty as ever, her voice hasn’t aged at all and it was lovely seeing Gerry Leonard again after too many years.

Celestina is getting tired of waiting for Amazon. 23 days since A Sky Without Stars was submitted, still pending approval.

Must be controversial. 🤔

We’re still determined to make 10/10 a publish day.

For review copies, DM me.

The cool thing about writing historical fiction is that you tap into real history. Like the Blue Tram that ran through my village. I’ve heard of it, seen photos, but it now lives inside my next novel.

Maybe I should donate a copy the town hall?

Frank had heard the rumours of paratroopers near Leiden, entire squadrons dropping out of the sky like shadows.

A Sky Without Stars is almost here.

It’s been 20 days since I submitted my latest novel to Amazon for publishing.

It’s still “pending approval”. Every week, they tell me to wait 48-72 hours.

They’ve crippled the launch. I’m going to need reviews.

You wanna read this and be ready to post on 10/10? DM me.

This is a photo I took of Celestina in 1942. Around the time I submitted A Sky Without Stars for preorder on Amazon.

They’re SLOW!

Anyway, message me for an advance copy if you want it now and believe you can have a review ready on 10 October.

“Free speech in the land of the free” was a good narrative while it lasted.

Is the 2nd amendment really more important than the 1st?

I wrote a novella about deepfakes and political silencing. Out in 2026.
