The printed editions of my collection of SF stories, So Far, So Near, have sold out, but you can still buy it in two electronic formats:
As an e-book, here, or as a downloadable audio book, here
or here. You can read about the contents of the collection, and the reviews, here.

Some of my crime short stories, including the Edgar-nominated Twelve of the little buggers, and the Dagger-shortlisted History repeats itself, and it doesn't even say pardon, are also available as downloads. Go to the Sony eBook Store, here.

My children’s fantasy novel, Soother’s Boy, is available as an e-book here.

My legendary - or perhaps notorious - guide to the writer’s life, Success ... and how to avoid it, is available direct from its publisher, TTA Press, here. You can read the reviews of Success... here.

And here’s one you can have for nothing: it’s called Forty Lashes, it’s amongst my proudest works, and it sits here, online, for all the world to enjoy, ignore, or be enraged by, free of charge.



Where to buy some of my books

Acts of Destruction is now available as an e-book: click here

... and as a paperback, price £10 (ten pounds) per copy (postage and packing free within the UK), from Alia Mondo Press, c/​o Elastic Press, 85 Gertrude Road, Norwich, NR3 4SG, UK. Cheques payable to Alia Mondo Press, please. The ISBN on the paperback is 978-0955868610.

The book can, of course, be ordered from any bookshop, or reserved at any public library.

I am happy to supply copies to book groups (or reading groups) at discounted prices - please email me for details.

If you’re outside the UK, the easiest way to get hold of Acts of Destruction is to buy the e-book version - or else order a paperback copy (US$17-50) from eco-logic books. (In fact, if you don’t already know this excellent, long-established, internet retailer of books on a wide range of subjects related to sustainability, you really ought to have a look at their website anyway.)

If you want to buy ten or more copies of the paperback, from anywhere in the world, or you want to stock it in your shop, then please email me, and we’ll discuss discounts and so on.


I’m sorry to say that (if you’re buying directly from me) I can’t take small cheques in anything other than British pounds; no Euros, no dollars ... pounds sterling only. That’s because, by the time I’ve paid the bank charges and suffered the awful conversion rates, there just wouldn’t be enough money left over to pay for the book.
