The Aspiring Author Online


Another reminder of my 'other' homes on the worldwide web, particularly as I don't always get a chance to update my blog as frequently as my other websites. If you're here and reading this, then obviously you already know about this one. Here, then, are the others which it'd be great if you could find time to look at:

This is my Facebook page, please feel free to check it out and 'like' if you are a Facebook member! I try to update this regularly and post news and offers relating to my books.

Here is my Amazon Author Page, which offers Kindle versions of my books. These you can then download to your device. (for the United States version, just add .com into the URL instead of co.uk)

I'm on Twitter, which I do update quite frequently as I also tend to post links to interesting articles, websites and opinion pieces which I always come across.

I'm also on the Redbubble website, which is an online community for artists primarily, but also for writers. I've posted a lot of material here, some of which duplicates what is here on this blog, but also there are more free stories, journal entries and casual photographs which I've taken over the past few years, and which I didn't want to display on Facebook any more- I'd encourage you to take a look at them here. Redbubble has a fantastic and active online arts community, and some marvellous work from around the world is showcased.

I'm a regular contributor to the Runaway Writings website, run by Rob Richardson, and there are free stories published there, as well as work by other writers and artists in SF, Fantasy and Adventure genres.

A Small World

About three weeks ago, I accepted an invitation from a volunteer who helps me with Italian football research to join a website called 'A Small World'. ASW is a social networking website, very similar to Facebook with one major difference - it's invitation only. Once you join, you have access to all features of the site. However, despite gaining access you don't immediately have the means to send out invitations to others. ASW say that "Trusted and loyal ASW members who meet certain criteria have the privilege of inviting a limited number of their friends." As yet, I do not have the power to invite others to join. It's the highbrow Facebook, basically. Tiger Woods is a member, along with numerous other celebrities. However there are strict controls on who you can contact and what kind of things you can post in discussion forums and the 'events' areas of the website. ASW also has this to say about itself to potential advertisers: "An inte

The Mothers of Darkness Castle

Some intrepid and courageous explorers posted their visit to the infamous "Mothers of Darkness" castle on Youtube. More information about this site, which may be of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chateau_des_Amerois https://fourhorsemen66.com/2018/12/16/chateau-des-amerois-mothers-of-darkness-castle-most-evil-place-in-the-world/ It's no surprise to me that a place like this would be in a sorry country like Belgium. I have personally met and had dealings with one or two extremely unpleasant people from Belgium. However, I digress. The story of this place helped inspire some of my ideas for my novel Staccato House.

Brian Lumley's Vampire World

Image
One of my favourite writers of horror fiction is an author called Brian Lumley. His stories are deeply imaginative and he evidently enjoys the frisson of describing the gruesome detail! He is very clearly inspired by H.P Lovecraft, and it's his earlier works and short stories which most clearly demonstrate his Lovecraftian influences. Although I enjoy the 'Titus Crow' series of novels, and the 'Psychomech' trilogy, the books that Lumley is probably most 'celebrated' for, if that is the right word, are his five Necroscope novels (the original series, as opposed to various prequels and sequels that he has published since), and his Vampire World trilogy, which was a series that chronologically followed those five books. I'm going to talk about 'The Vampire World' trilogy in this post mainly, but as they follow in terms of content the 'Necroscope' series, I'll briefly describe what those five books were about (SPOILERS ALERT).
