When it comes to self-promo, it's very much a matter of do as I say, not as I do. Hates it, I does, but it's essential if I want to sell any of my own books. So here goes ...
I'm delighted to announce that my first two novels, Nirvana Bites and Trading Tatiana, are now available as e-books. They were originally published by Orion in 2002 and 2005 respectively and it's great to know that they will now be available to a new and wider readership via US indie publisher, Dzanc Books as part of their rEprint series. If you would like to know more about the novels, including extracts and reviews, please click on the books tab on my website. The e-books are available direct from Dzanc here or from the usual other places: Kindle and Kobo.
This has given me the impetus to self-publish the next three novels in the Nirvana series. That will mean my Nirvanans will eventually represent every type of publishing, from trade, through indie to self-publishing. An interesting journey. Before I can execute the next stage I'll need to edit the MSs though. I had a quick scan and realised there's a lot that needs to be changed. They never went through an external editing process but, fortunately, I now have the distance (and skills) to self-edit them. I just need to find the time.
And if there's one thing I'm even worse at than self-promo, it's finding time for my own writing.

Fantastic news! So overdue. Thrilled for you and all your new readers!
There are three more that weren't published but will be?!

Best news I've had for AGES! Go, Debi!
Thanks so much, Sue and Katherine. I know you both hate the promo side, so I'm sure you'll be busy empathising with that conflict too.
Oh, cool! I was a fan long before I met you online, and the first Amazon review I ever wrote was for Trading Tatiana (got it from the library), so when I say I'm looking forward to the other books you know it's the unvarnished truth!
Oh, Liane! How lovely are you?
