Hello everyone;
I’m sorry I’ve been away for ages. I’ve been seriously ill since January, as well as working sixty plus hours a week to keep afloat. I’ll write more about some of this in a later blog, however, I wanted to share some truly exciting news with everyone.
Friday, I thought I would check Fictionwise eBooks to see how my series “Myth to Life: The Rise of Riley McCa… Continue

Blood Betrayal
“I should have let them stick that hot poker in both of your eyes while they ripped your insolent tongue from your ungrateful mouth. Then I could have thoroughly enjoyed them flaying you open while you were still alive to experience the torture. I never should have brought you over, but I did so out of compassion for you, and you show your gratitude by disrespecting everything I have ever given you. You have destroyed my trust.”
Braedon Carlis… Continue

Hello All;
I would have posted this sooner, however have had a few difficulties for the past several months. I'll go into those a bit in a later blog since I don't want to waste my words on the humdrum when I want to tell something special.
Once again I am happy to share with you that one of my stories has been picked up for publication and is currently appearing… Continue

Hi Patricia,Sorry to hear about your injury. I recently had a damaged wrist and had to wear a splint and found it hard to type, so you have my every sympathy.
Thanks so much for the vote for 'The Nemesis Cell'. I really appreciate your support.
As for Mythica Publishing, I think I'm as excited about the project as Graeme, who owns the company. He was actually the first person to ever publish my work in print when he ran his own company in Malaysia. It's true to say that wihout him I wouldn't be where I am today with my books. He is also the man who does my wonderful cover designs. I think he's a genius.
When he asked me to be Mythica's Mystery/Thriller Consultant Editor I was very excited and was glad to accept the post.
If you take a look at their site at www.mythicapublishing.com you'll see that there is already a poetry book scheduled for publication. 'Of Aztecs and Conquistadors' by Juan Pablo Jlisco is acutally mine, as I write the poetry of Mexico under that name. Graeme, unlike many publishers is not anti-poetry, as even many of today's e-publishers are very much against publishing poetry as they think it won't sell, which of course it won't if they don't give it the exposure it deserves!
Graeme on the other hand is proud to be able to offer a different publishing house that he hopes will break a few moulds and give authors and writers who wouldn't otherwise get the recognition, see their work published and available for sale. Feel free to check Mythica out. As he says, he is concentrating on quality e-books to begin with but if the company grows as he wants it to, then print options will become available as well, all in good time. I'm very pelased to be able to be with him from the start on what I think might prove an exciting adventure.
Anyway, I mustn't babble on like this so I'll say thanks again for the vote and hope to hear from you soon.
Best regards and Happy Christmas again.
Brian
