Yes, the indie author is here to stay. I have to say ebooks have helped save Wild Wolf Publishing. Sinema is selling around 4,000 ebooks per month and Unlikely Killer is selling upwards of 9,000 per month. As a small independent publisher we could never dream of selling that many paperbacks. All hail the ebook!  |

Rusti please do it Please just write ..... If you're got an idea in your head no matter what it is please write it down and don't worry about people's opinions just do do it - afterall we all we have different likes and dislikes and we can't please all of the people of all the time and we get only one life so go for it Rusti!  You never know - as they say up north "Shy Bairns get nowt" |

Go for it Rusti. There's a book I've been working on and off for the last couple of years.... More off than on actually, but it's very therapeutic. I keep revisiting it and re-revising it. nothing may come of it but it's fun. So go for it. |

There's not enough written down yet to be coherent.
It is - of course - a sequel to TWotW and is called 'The Piccadilly Rats.
The Martians Died at the end of TWotW. We assumed they had not known about the Earth's bacteria. They knew, they achieves what they came for, to set up a beachhead and when they return, Earth is subdued and occupied in less than 15 minutes.
Now man has to live underground, live like rats.

Yeah ive had several ideas for novels for a time. Again one is WOTW-ish but a totally different take of the subject, set in a Lord of the Rings type world but with tanks and jets and this fantasy society comes under attack from an alien force and the whole thing is set around the crew of a tank sent to fight the invaders.
Cant say more ive got tons of notes sketches and ideas i need to sort. Ive started the first chapter but i need to go back to it.
