about me

Thanks to all of you who read, commented on and backed 'J-Town' over the last few months. I have decided to take it down from Authonomy for the time-being. I intend to review it and redraft it. All of your useful and insightful comments will be taken into consideration when doing so. Thank you.

Apologies to those of you who I have promised reads but have not had the chance to do so. Serious time constraints have prevented me from getting to them. I believe I have managed to keep most of my commitments but I do know that there are a few reads I have not managed to return and unfortunately will not be able to any time soon. Please accept my sincerest apologies.

Hopefully at some time in the future I will once again have the time to be active in the Authonomy community. I still hope to pop in from time-to-time. In the meantime, good luck to all you Authors!

YARG Review Lucy, Great short and long pitch! Definitely raises the reader's curiosity. Love the short pitch in particular - "Bloody moons." :) I've read the first couple of chapters. I immediately began to like Arthur in chapter 1. The character of an old man who's had enough comes out wel... view book

YARG Review Marita, I read through chapter one and glanced over chapter two. I have to admit that the content is a little too 'edgy' for me, but that's neither here nor there. There are going to be those that enjoy this type of novel and those that will shy away from it for its explicit conten... view book

YARG Review Lee, I chose to read this for two very good (and I guess selfish) reasons. Firstly, I am an Aussie and I have been living abroad for almost 5 years now, yet to return for a visit. So, I always love a shot of Australiana here an there. Reading 'Elton' definitely provided me with ... view book

Kirsty, An action packed first chapter which definitely makes the reader want to keep going and learn more. Also, the names you have chosen for your characters are perfect and really add to the drama of the story. I think you have the makings of a great fantasy here. The only problem is that I... view book

Hi Phil, I read the prologue and the first two chapters of 'Deshay of the Woods', and overall it seems to be very promising. As my comment will be number 259, I'm not sure I am going to say anything new here, but for what it's worth, here are some comments. Your emphasis on description does t... view book
