Hey guys. Sorry I've not updated my blog in a while. A combination of long shifts at work and a faulty graphics card prevented me from doing any blogging for a long time. But now I'm back up and running and I should be able to post something this weekend!
Again, sorry for the long gap between posts. I don't normally take this long in getting a post on my blog, but certain circumstances have held me back a little. But I hope to get back to posting again very soon!
Have a great weekend peeps!

Ok guys, just gonna give you some updates today as I'm busy going through my list of books to read/review to clear my reading backlog as much as possible. I'm doing quite well, but still got a long way to go. The reason for the lack of reviews is that I am currently reading about 3/4 books at once. My aim is to try and get three books reviewed three weeks in a row - and (touch wood) I should be able to do that if all goes according to plan.
With that being said, I'm here to let you guys know that for the foreseeable future, I will only post on a Wednesday if I have a review or guest blog to host. Blogging three times a week is fine, but it seems a little pointless if I don't have anything to say (kinda like this post right now, really). Therefore, Wednesday are now reserved for my reviews and guest posts from authors. Remember, if you're an author that wishes to do a guest post or include me as part of your blog tour, or even promote your new book, etc, please contact me at
PandragonPublishing@gmail.com
or go to the website link below and email me.
Also, I thought I'd get your opinion on this - I've been thinking of maybe getting a new place to host my blog. I'm not saying that I'm unhappy with this blog at the moment, but a complaint that I've heard from some people is that they aren't happy to use their Facebook to comment on this blog. Fair enough - but it doesn't look like Wix are going to be changing that anytime soon (despite it being a common complaint on their customer service page). Therefore, I've been possibly looking into alternatives to host my blog. And this is where you guys come in. What blogging services do you use? Which do you recommend and what has worked well for you in the past? I'd love to know your thoughts on this. You can either comment me below (if you don't mind using your FB profile) or email me above, or even tweet me if you prefer. Whatever you want. This is your time to have your say and let me know.
Thanks guys. Another post to follow Friday!
Kindest
Regards

Hey guys. This will be a short one today because I'm feeling a little under the weather today, that and I have a few projects and conventions that I need to prepare for, so going to be working on them.
Anyway, just a couple of quick updates. First some (sorta) bad news. For those who follow my Top Five posts, I'm putting them on hold for the moment just while I concentrate on some new projects. They aren't being stopped, I'm just going to be doing them as and when for the moment. I have plenty of ideas for Top Five's, so don't worry about that. This means that no blog posts will happen over the weekend (unless its a special occasion).
However, some good news - I got my first royalty check from Amazon Direct Publishing (UK royalties) the other day! It took nearly a year, but it looks like my ebooks are picking up now! Still not happy with the fact that I can't apply a bank transfer for US Amazon (get that sorted Amazon!), but hopefully I can start seeing some royalties coming in from that soon.
Finally, on Monday I'm announcing plans for a new writing project - something a little different from Trapped on Draconica, but still with a Manga theme. I'll go into it on more detail Monday, but let's just say it's kinda a cross between Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the comic book character Deadpool.
So that's it for this week. For those watching Euro 2012 later, let's hope that England have a better game than they had against France earlier in the week (FYI, I actually don't know anything about football really - but I always seem to take an interest whenever England plays).
Also it's my 100th Blog Post. Yay! I know I should do something special for it but... hey ho! Lol.
Have a great weekend guys! Check back on Monday for a new post!
Regards

Just a quick update - I recently signed up for the KDP Select service via Amazon Kindle, after hearing much positive feedback from it. Therefore, for the next 90 days (and possibly more if it takes off) my ebook versions of Trapped on Draconica and The Wandering Valkyr will be available exclusively through Amazon Kindle.
The downside to this is that I can no longer sell my ebook through other retailers, so I've had to take both off Smashwords. I realise that not everyone has a Kindle and this may come as a bit of a surprise - however there are apps that you can get for your android, iphone, blackberry, etc that will allow you to read kindle stories. And also you can download special software to read it on your computer. See the Amazon website for further details.
Luckily, this doesn't effect paperback copies of my book so I will still be selling them at conventions and (eventually) through my site. As I say this is just a trail run and, if it doesn't work, I can always cancel it at the end of 90 days. We'll just have to see how it goes!
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause my readers - but hopefully it won't be too much of a problem.
Thanks guys.
