I got my proof copy of The Wind on the Blade the other day, and I've started reading through it. I found a few things I want to change... And I'm only half way through. Not to worry though. They are all little things, thankfully. Typos, comma placement, word choice, a few unnecessary sentences. Shouldn't …

“Finally,” he said, unconvincingly.
I have finally finished the rewrite of the story that has been tormenting me lately. Yes, the one about the mystery victim in Headless. It is the fourth of six stories in The Wind on the Blade, half of which are short stories and half of which are novelettes. I did not know I was …
POV of the Dead

A Great Movie Series?
I got some reviews to shout about recently. Headless got a 5-star review from Reader's Favorite. Pikasho Deka said very nice things about it, like: "A delicious blend of murder-mystery and horror mixed with ancient Japanese folklore, Headless grabs you from the first page and refuses to let go till the end. Tristram Lowe weaves …
