A strange blog post about a strange occurrence resulting in a very strange thing.

A couple of months ago I was focused and set upon my goal. I was going to finish/complete, the book, "She wept black Tears and then finish the much awaited "Winters Ghost". By August both would be in the bag. I was sure and steadfast and these things were going to happen. That is the odd thing with plans; things happen to scupper them and this happened again with me. I approached the final phase of editing, "She wept Black Tears" with glee, I had already made it good and so I had only to play with language and ideas to complete a tale that I (already) liked. But there was a little something, I cannot put my finger on it but it is not right. I am no perfectionist, rather the opposite in fact but I hate the idea of a good story wasted because of a few dodgy stanzas and so have withdrawn the book from release until I get that little bit right. My publisher has stepped up (with alacrity and with passion and supported me without even my urging). And so They have moved my schedule. Releasing what was due to be my next book as my current one they have helped me a great deal and so my new book will be called simply; "The picture" . It bears an unseen subtitle; The Island and the Demon. I hope that all enjoy it. The pre-release reviews were excellent.
