Radio Interview
Some exciting news…I’ve done an interview for Bunbury Community Radio 103.7FM and having a chat with Brett Cole, the host of 'The Good Place' and a fellow Leschenault Press/Book Reality author, about my novel ‘The Wooden Crown’ and the Blackwater Chronicles.
It was pre-recorded and will be aired next Saturday, 8th August between 2-3pm WST. Hope you can manage to have a listen. If not, I’ll be posting a copy of it afterwards.
It was great fun and an interesting experience.
Thanks Brett, for the opportunity.
REVIEWS
Reviews are a key way you can easily help an independent author promote their books to a wider audience. The review doesn’t have to be long or sound like a professional critic, just a few words that encapsulates how you felt about the book, good, bad, or otherwise.
If you've read one of my books and wish to leave a review, go to:
Publisher site - Leschenault Press/The Book Reality Experience:

or from wherever you purchased your book or eBook online, such as

Indie Author Book Fair
On Sunday 30th November, I attended the Indie Author Book Fair in Bunbury.
It was a full day of fun where I got to meet other independent authors and chat with readers.
And I was interviewed as part of the Finding Elara Livestream and podcast. A very weird experience, I must say, but I think it went well, though you can judge for yourselves...
The livestream video is on YouTube, and the following link will take you directly to my interview at the 2h 52m 24s mark.
