Unlike the first season spent in the dark shadowy alleys and the bright lights of host clubs, Hisato now has to contend with returning to his day job but with the added bonus of being promoted to Detective. It can only make his life... Continue Reading →
Episode One of Tokyo Nights: Season Two has been released, though I'm still waiting for it to go live in all markets. Editing of Episode Two is underway and the draft of the final episode is creeping toward completion. Of course being summer and having a heat wave - because yes, 28C is not an... Continue Reading →

I logged into Draft2Digital (D2D) today to check on the publishing progress of a book with Amazon, surprise, surprise, it had not yet gone live. But was even more interesting; annoying as hell was the need to add another layer of kowtowing to Amazon and say that I give D2D permission to publish my books, on my behalf to Amazon.

It is centred around my protaganist Goushi Asano, who as head of the Yamashita Organisation - Yakuza - you would expect him to be a less than law-abiding person;... Continue Reading →

I've finished editing Crossing the Line and now just waiting for it to go live on Amazon before publishing it wide. The first chapters are always hard to edit because you want to get them right, make them interesting enough to catch the attention of readers and keep them reading... the last chapters are harder...

For the next few weeks I’ll be busy editing the fourth book in The Yakuza and the English Teacher series – Crossing the Line. It follows the romance between two of the secondary characters, who first meet in book 2 Dangerous Love and will include corrupt cops and a sweet but deadly Yakuza. The poor... Continue Reading →
Merry Christmas everyone…. The past year – maybe a little bit over – has been an interesting one for me both personally and as an author. Busy too. I’ve published four novels (and another waiting to be edited), one 10-part serial and a novella, though my sales have been low. Though instead of being discouraged... Continue Reading →
