Richard Laymon's Beware!

So I've finished The Ring by Koji Suzuki, which was pretty awesome I have to say. I've been reading it in tiny portions since I really do like to sleep at night! The American version didn't do the book justice at all, though it was scary in it's own right. 

Now I'm reading Richard Laymon again, I've read one or two of his before and I really liked them, (can't remember one of them, I read a lot!) the last one was Island. I recommend you give that one a read, it's really good and extremely addictive. The ending is a twist that I didn't see coming and I'm usually really good at predicting them! 

So far into Beware! I am really intrigued. The story is about a strange cult and an invisible murderous man, that are somehow connected. I won't go too much into the story in case I give too much away. I'm only half way through but I really want to see  how this pans out and how the two stories in the book are interwoven. It's really good read so far, will update when I'm done!

Editing is done.

So, I'm nearly there. 

Gah!

And we're on to the book cover stage, which my dear friend is helping me with at the moment and I'm having a look at other horror covers at the moment for inspiration. Then it's Amazon/Kobo etc. ready. Very scary but exciting. 

I used to worry that only one person liked it but then I realised that it doesn't matter so much, just the fact that I've done something I've always wanted to do. It's more of a personal achievement than anything else, when you've sat ruminating over things for years on end, you realise just how much little accomplishments matter. 

Also setting up a website for my image restoration soon, thought I'd have a go at charging for the work that I do. That will be interesting. It's a big risk but then again, so is everything. If you don't try, you never know. 

I'll keep you updated as I go!

Hope you guys...

...are all safe and well tonight when the storm approaches. Apparently it's gonna be a bit worse in the lower parts of England so I hope all my friends and family in Wales etc. are okay. Stay indoors, get some emergency candles and don't go sky-diving until the storms passed! 

Much love,

Progress Report.

So I've sent Plagued off to an editor since I am self-publishing on Amazon and other ebook publishers.

I decided to do that because the publishing industry is still a little out of my depth at the moment and I've heard some good things about this being a good way into the industry. Of course, the book could be pants and flop but at this point, I don't care. If you don't try, you don't get. It's all progress.

I'm really nervous and excited to be in the editing stage and I found mine through Elance.com, which is amazing as I can view other work that's been done by the freelancers and their reviews of that work. I'm thinking about advertising my own services as an image restorer on there and also to do some freelance writing.

So, it's an exciting yet nervous time in the Nik household, it's scary to put yourself out there without knowing what's going to happen, but it's also exciting as it's completely new to me.

Hope you guys are all well and enjoy your weekend!

Something for the eyes today.

Was doing some research for interesting places for my next novel when I came across this site; Mesa Verde in Colorado and some really awesome cliff dwellings, so I thought I'd share. We live on a beautiful planet, don't we? :)
