Kill Clock Update And A New Cover

Just a brief update on Kill Clock. For those who don't know its history, Kill Clock is a novella that was originally published in paperback by Barrington Stoke. When the digital rights became available, I took a look at the text and decided there were one or two changes I'd like to make before publishing the ebook version.

I made those changes and then passed the revised text along to some trusted readers. They came back with some excellent suggestions, which I've been working on since. I do think that with everybody's help, I've broken the back of this wee fella. I just have to break all its limbs over the next couple of weeks and we'll have something I'm happy with. Yes, writing can be a painful process, especially if you're a book that I've been let loose on.

Meanwhile, I thought it would be a good idea to prepare an omnibus edition of my three novellas. I've called it Three To Kill, keeping up my utterly shameless tradition of stealing titles from classic crime novels. This time, it's Jean-Patrick Manchette I have to thank.

My cover designer, JT Lindroos, has been knocking the ball out of the park recently. This one's no exception. Hope you like it.



Hope you're enjoying the interviews too. Back with more tomorrow.
