November 06, 2021 08:00 - 6 minutes - 2.91 MBWelcome to Jon’s author diary for the week ending November 7, 2021. I’ve not had the best week in terms of mood.

October 16, 2021 07:00 - 3 minutes - 1.41 MBWelcome to Jon’s author diary for the week ending October 17, 2021. I’ve had a busy week. Much of it has been spent getting everything ready for my launch of Black Death Survival. This is now up for pre-order and the paperback is live. The hardback is in review and I’ve been going through the auditions for the audio edition. I’ve taken a step back from writing A Murder of Crows and have decided I need to write another draft of Dawn of Assassins. I thought this book was done. But it need...
