Right now I am juggling a number of writing projects:

The Beatles: White Album – Rock Classics Paperback – 29 Aug. 2024

Tomorrow is the launch day for the release of the book. I’m busy creating a few posts to publicise it. I’m not very good at publicising.  I hope the publisher is better at it than me.

Phil Ochs – Every Album, Every Song (On Track)

I have just received the edited proofs for a final read-through. That is going to be my main focus for the next days.

 

Leonard Cohen – Every Album, Every Song (On Track)

I have spent the last months reading, researching and listening to the whole of Leonard Cohen’s work. I completed the book yesterday. I will now put it on the back burner to deal with the other projects before returning with a more objective mind to start editing and rewriting.

 

Ghenghis Smith – A Sci-fi novel

I completed the first draft of Ghenghis Smith a couple of months back. It is one of a batch of Sci-fi novels that I am holding back to send to publishers. I currently have four: – Terra 3 (the Cabal), The Scrolls Of Pandora 3, DremeWorld and now Ghenghis Smith. They are all based in some future galactic empire but each has a social/political theme that strongly relates to our world. They are relevant.

 

Ghenghis Smith is going to take a lot of work. Currently it is only 40,000 words. When I have completed the two other assignments I shall go back to it, study it and find a way to develop it into a full-blown 70,000 worder. I’m looking forward to that.

 

 

The Death Diaries

This is a book that I’ve been playing with for a couple of years now. I keep adding bits. It sits on my computer and broods. I wrote two pages in it yesterday.

 

 

The Next Poetry Book

Not yet named but already twenty pages in. Poems pop into my head. I scrawl them down and add them. When I have enough I publish them.

 

 

The Next Sonicbond project

I’m already in discussion with the publisher. I fancy a classic rock album to get my teeth into – maybe Exile On Mainstreet or Wish You Were Here!

 

When I finally find a little time I will look to send a new package, a Sci-fi book or two, round to agents and publishers. I want to get my Sci-fi properly published.

Sending books around is a time-consuming thankless task. I tend to avoid it.
