The Church- an update

Just got to the halfway point with the edits for The Church. Louise is doing a great job with it but I must admit it's also been a little embarrassing seeing all the mistakes I've made! I knew that I probably put in too many extra words but I didn't realize how many! I'd guess I'll lose about 3-4,000 words off the final count. Ouch!

The story is now a lot tighter, sharper and moves at a far quicker pace.

This also shows me how much I need an independent editor. And more practice!!

I'll update again when the edits are done and Louise gives me her opinions on the story as a whole.

The Church- an update

My first novel, a zombie tale called The Church, is being edited by the wonderful Louise Bohmer for The Library of the Living Dead Press.

It's the tale of a man stuck inside a fortified church after the zombie uprising. The church is controlled with an iron fist by a mad reverend and his "disciples". Are the real monsters inside or outside The Church?

I'll use the blog to give some updates of how we are getting on.

Louise has just sent back the edits for chapter 7. I cant begin to explain how good these edits are, taking my story to a much higher level. I was silly enough to think it was fairly well edited before but its more than a little embarrassing now seeing how many mistakes there are!

Zombology II

My very first published story has now appeared in Zombology II. Hunger is the story of a thief trapped in a jewellers surrounded by the undead. With no food the growing hunger drives him crazy with a deli in plain view just across the road. I'm so proud to be in this great book. Hopefully everyone who reads this anthology will enjoy it.

All new to this

This is my first attempt at a blog so apologies in advance! I have a few stories coming out in the next year including my first novel and hopefully this site will provide updates and news.
