Hi Misfit. I did work on a third book for about five or six years, but then the marketing side of the industry took over and I've spent most of my time in that area since. I also have a Ukrainian wife now too and spent most of the last couple of years in Irpin just outside Kyiv, so I'm sure you can ...

It's monitoring data about book buying / popularity. I don't want to say too much online as revealing specific monitoring patterns could affect how certain sites behave, thus nullifying the purpose of what I'm doing. This information gives indie authors the possibility to compete, on a small scale ...

Hi guys, I'm looking for someone to help (paid work of course) with a web automation project. It involves anti-fingerprinting elements and logging into accounts on a specific website. I've hired a number of different coders over the last couple of years from sites such as Upwork, Freelancer, etc ...

Hey Venusian, cheers for the input.

The evolution of Transgressive Fiction has been, I think anyway, so fascinating, and as much as many books fit the albeit loose generalisation more than others, all books in there are relevant to that journey. As many of the authors are dead, and many others are ...

Hey everyone, long time no post. As a couple of you may remember from yonks ago I'm an author by trade, and over the last few months I've been putting together a website for my preferred genre Transgressive Fiction. I'll be launching in a couple of weeks, so at this stage haven't publicly shared the ...

Happy Birthday

Thanks man. If I ever make the big stage I plan on bringing as many along as I can. Would also like to reiterate to Yak yakers that I'm happy to send out the ebook version free for the next few days for those interested. All new reviews on Amazon and Goodreads and stuff most appreciated :cow:

Just ...

Thanks Ox. The site was located in Poland, but I used this place:

http://www.whoishostingthis.com

to track down who was hosting the site and tracked them to a company in Northumberland. I've emailed them the relevant info, so hopefully they'll have it taken down soon. My publisher was useless and ...

Yeah I noticed the same thing with regard to the £1.99 pricing. Previously the ebook for my first was £3.79 and the second £6.99. The first book consistently outsold the second so I argued with both publishers to reduce each to £1.99. Sales are now pretty even, not much of an increase from the £3.79 ...

Yeah that's fair comment. It was one of those 'straw that broke the camel's back' kind of days. I think what pissed me off the most was that the pirate site were actually making money from it and not even distributing freely. Complete some of these offers then you can download, type affairs.

And ...

Ha, thanks for the support ;)

I passed the pirate site along to the publisher but who knows if it will make a difference. I posted a paragraph on the pirate site too explaining the difference it really does make to the industry. This is the first time I've had to deal with such blatant piracy. So ...

Been out for a while now mate. I wasn't intending this as a promo post but here's the Amazon link.

Hey everyone. I know I don't post here very often but I am a daily lurker going back many years.

As many of you work in the software industry I wondered if there was a recommended go-to site for reporting piracy? I've been Google Alerted a few times recently to sites hosting ebook versions of my ...

Nope, no zombies. The Zombie Room was my initial title, but then underwent a couple of name changes as I drafted and redrafted. There was a different title in place when it went through editing at the publishers and they came back and asked if I would mind changing the title to The Zombie Room ...

Thanks Misfit. Yeah book trailers have been pretty big in the States for some years now but in the UK they're only just starting to catch on. We've already attracted some press about it so hopefully it'll lead to good things for me and the whole crew involved.
