Finding your main character’s voice
It’s taken me all the way to chapter 12 to find my main character’s voice. And now that I’ve found it, it’s funny and clever and brilliant. Scenes are rolling from my fingers. I’m writing twice as much each session. … Continue reading

The Fleet Quintet is now the Free Quintet
I’m giving away the first four books I ever published free for the whole of July. As this is a Smashwords campaign, it means the books can be downloaded onto any device, which is nice. No faffing about there, then! … Continue reading

When music creeps into your writing
It’s ironic that the two most brutish men I’ve ever created should both be associated with tinkly piano music. When writing a novel, I obsessively listen to the same music every day until the book is finished (or I’ve gone … Continue reading

Last day to get my books free (for all E-readers)
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

Please let me know what you think of the blurb for my new book

Author Review: V. Gomenzi

Why is it so hard to write a book blurb?
Does it ever get easier to write a book blurb? At some point, after you’ve battled day after day, does something suddenly go “ping” and you realise how to string the words together adequately? I’ve just written nine new blurbs … Continue reading
