sneak peek!

From time to time, new websites come and go that promote, especially "indie" authors and try to unite authors with their readership. Such a site, is the new one set up by Paul White, called Sneak Peek. I'm always a bit wary of these websites, simply because they do tend to come onto the scene with a flourish and then become a haven for authors, with very few readers actually visiting them. 

Sneak Peek is determined not to be a "flash in the pan" and, so, I'm happy to promote it to readers and "indie" authors everywhere. God knows, we need to get our message out to our readership that we exist and we are worth reading.

Someone said to me the other day that the biggest problem facing "indie" authors is a really simple one; OBSCURITY! We are just one fish in an enormous ocean, most of which is filled by a single conglomerate, called Amazon. Hopefully Sneak Peek will help us to rise out of that obscurity and get noticed by the people most important to us, as authors - THE READERS!

my first ever threesome!

Okay, so now that I've got your attention, with my catchy little title, please allow me to explain. About three months ago, just after Christmas actually, I was approached by two other authors and asked if I would be interested in co-authoring a book with them. 
If I'm honest, my initial reaction was a little skeptical. I knew and respected both these people and I'd read their books; this was one of the main sources of said scepticism. I was filled with self-doubt and not a little bit of terror. 
What if I wasn't up to scratch? What if we argued about content and ended up unfriending each other? I was doubtful such an arrangement would or could work. Both the other authors were, from my interactions with them, strong-willed, hard-working and very determined to succeed in the minefield of independent publishing. I really did wonder if I was in the same league as them. 
I also wondered how effective a book written with three very distinct voices could possibly be. Nevertheless, being the adventurous soul that I am, I thought - Why not? At least we could give it a try. If it doesn't work, well, we can all just walk away; no damage done and hopefully not too much pride dented.
Seriously, I needn't have been so perturbed. Three months later, we are putting the finishing touches on, what I consider to be a pretty special book. 

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it gives me the utmost pleasure and not a little bit of pride to present to you - TORTURED MINDS, the product of Colin Griffiths, Rachel McGrath and yes, yours truly, Grant Leishman's tortured and demented minds.
