Writing vs. Marketing

Posted on June 5, 2019 by Susannah J. Bell

It’s a no-brainer for me.  I’d rather write than work on my marketing.  I’ve got loads to do and loads planned but the thought of it makes me feel awfully glum.  So instead of finishing that paperback I was formatting, … Continue reading →

Interpreting Cloud Atlas

Posted on November 8, 2018 by Susannah J. Bell

Cloud Atlas is the book I wish I’d written.  I read it sick with green envy.  How much easier would my life had been if I’d been awarded even an ounce of David Mitchell’s talent. It’s not that I think … Continue reading →

Posted on March 11, 2017 by Susannah J. Bell

I’ve gone quite cross-eyed with promotions this week, having to rely mostly on Twitter.  This has not been ideal for obvious reasons, Twitter being a flood of ads that produces no results at all except perhaps a few more follows … Continue reading →

Posted on February 21, 2017 by Susannah J. Bell

Radio Review: Journey into Space

Posted on February 2, 2017 by Susannah J. Bell

I love radio serials.  I used to listen to them on Springbok Radio in another land, far, far away, but I don’t remember any sci-fi.  Radio 4 Extra (the badly renamed Radio 7) used to have a whole hour of … Continue reading →

On The Other Side (or too much of the wrong Sci-Fi)

Posted on August 15, 2016 by Susannah J. Bell

You know you’re not getting enough Sci-Fi TV when you start thinking the Twelve Monkeys spin-off is quite good. When I was a teenager growing up on the other side of the planet, I used to feel completely cut off … Continue reading →

Proofreading ULTRA yet again

Posted on August 4, 2016 by Susannah J. Bell

When you see an error in a book traditionally published, you think, oho – shit editor.  When you see an error in a book self-published by the author, you think, oho-ho-ho – shit author.  This is just horrible! With the … Continue reading →
