Stealing into Winter

No apologies for a bit of self promotion.

Please check out the publisher’s page for Stealing into Winter. Look at that endorsement! Thanks, Mike. And look at those reviews! Those guys have been lucky enough to see pre-publication versions of the book.

If that whets your appetite, then Amazon UK, Amazon Canada and The Book Depository currently have fabulous pre-order offers.

You can, of course, do your bit for the health of publishing by supporting your local bookshop and ordering Stealing into Winter from them. They might not be able to discount like the big operators, but diversity is good; small is good.

For the opportunity to obtain a signed copy directly from me, join the Jeniche of Antar Fan Club page on Facebook. From there you can send me a message and let me know you would like a signed copy. Full details will be posted on the page in the near future.

If you are strapped for cash, then please order a copy of the book from your local library (if you still have one). That way I get a sale, you get to read the book, and other people get to see it and maybe like it so much they want a copy of their own. In fact, please order a copy from your library anyway.

Finally, if you read the book and enjoy it, please leave a review on Amazon, The Book Depository, your blog, or any other website that accepts book reviews. Just a few lines will, but it all helps.

My thanks to you all.

PS - Book two is already written, the first third of book three is nearly drafted with the rest plotted in detail, book four is plotted out in detail, and there are notes accumulating for a further trilogy.

Being creative has always been more than just about, well, being creative. You can be the world’s greatest literary/artistic/singing/tap-dancing/filmic genius, but if you don’t share your work with others, only your mum will ever know.

And if you are the slightest bit serious about putting your talents in front of an audience (maybe even making money from it), you have to make use of whatever social networking comes your way. It often sounds daunting, but is quite simple. It simply means making friends – in person or online. Now, I know us creative types have a reputation for being curmudgeonly loners, but it is unfounded. When we start out we are nervous about others’ reaction to our work. But talking and sharing with fellow writers/artists/singers/tap-dancers/film makers gives us the opportunity to tap into a vast community through which we can learn to improve our own skills, help others with theirs and spread the word about what we do.

One such avenue is one I found on Facebook recently.
