I am an author, father, husband and brother to all who carry the fire. I hail from London in the UK and have so far written three full-length novels called 'Lilif' 'THE SWEAT', 'SHADOWS UNDER A DIPPING SUN' and three other books consisting of one short story and two compendiums, all available from Amazon. My love for writing stems from seeing my mother read countless books in childhood. I can recall her screaming with both laughter and fright over the written works of Stephen King, Dean R Koontz, James Herbert and many more. Her books oddly led me to film as opposed to reading and developed in me a persistent imagination and love for creating characters and stories. By age twelve, I had watched the films Rosemary's Baby, Misery, Salem's Lot ...more

For instance Koontz's ability to craft, create and depict settings is, I wouldn't say superior to King's as I think SK doesn't really pride him self on that facet of story telling. SK on the other hand excels in ideas, plot lines and an ability to make the mundane trappings of life anything but; Koontz comes in at a close second in terms of this. In short, I burrow from both, as they are equal emperors of the craft in my eyes. (less)

Got 5 tips!

1. Read, read, read...You cannot write a novel if you have not studied the craft. You have to read to understand what constitutes good writing form, rhythm, style, unacceptable and acceptable types of written expression. This also helps you to develop your own style and 'voice'.

2. Make sure you truly love your story concept, or your project will go the way of so many that end in abandonment.

3. Don't listen to DOUBT! Make sure you finish it or you'll never finish any of them. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

4. After you finish your manuscript let it rest for about a month, dust it off and have a read. It's at this point you'll think WTF! Did I write that!! It's okay change it, make improvements and move on. You will learn to forgive yourself. Once past that stage let others (Beta readers) read it and get back to you with feed back that you'll hopefully take on board. Even if you are adamant cats come in pink, if your Betas disagree, you should at least review it. Try not to be too defensive. Make sure you get your book copy-edited (Jane Hammett). There is no way around this if you want to avoid a (sometimes angry) backlash!

5. Book cover...Man-O-Man... I tried to fight this one and had convinced my self that my sub-novice Photoshop skills would suffice. After two revisions, I realised I was only prolonging the inevitable. You're a writer not an illustrator. The book cover is the first thing people see and if it looks amateur-ish they won't even bother to read the synopsis. Yeah I know its expensive blah, blah, blah just get it made it'll be worth it, especially if you know the story inside is worth reading. I used a website called 99designs.com check it out.

Who Killed Lord Lank? A murder mystery that will drive you nuts!

"Look � I know she killed that man. I don't know how, but I know she did. At least look at the text messages." Frank argued.
Frank held a folder containing transcripts from Shelley Lank's phone and emails. A back and forth between her and the man she was now spending her dead husband's money with.
Creed paused for a few seconds, sighed, and then took the folder, pushing his lunch to one side. He pu Read more of this blog post »

R.P. Falconer I've finished part 1 of ~The Sweat~ at around 90'000 word...Now I rest for two weeks, forget about it then return to read it afresh. Upon re-read I will find plot holes; inconsistencies in names, places, tone. I will erase, edit and possibly add. No work of art is made perfect and perfection I'm afraid is something neither i nor you the reader can only ever work towards!
