Discovering the Diamond
by Helen Hollick
As a published author of historical novels and adventure fantasy, I am often asked for advice by people who are new to writing or who have been writing for years, but not yet succeeded in getting their work published. I found I was giving the same advice so often that it seemed sensible to put it all together into a set of ‘guidelines’. These are intended for novice writers of ‘popular fiction’ and do not discuss non-fiction, for while the principles of good writing may apply equally to both, how they are produced is different.

A Nepenthean Solution (Prides of Sol)

This is a newly re-edited 2012 version of the original novel. A Nepenthean Solution is the first book in a series called "The Prides of Sol".

Before the Milky Way existed, and before matter and energy erupted into this new domain we call the universe, conflict raged on a scale never witnessed by humankind. An unending mordant contest eventually eliminated every preeminent civilization and effectively rendered all known ancient domains incapable ofever sustaining life again. That time has passed, but the root of contention still exists in the vast and shadowed depths of our universe. Humankind has lived in ignorance and cloaked in anonymity on a small w ...

Rich Pickings For Ravens (The Afterlife Crisis Trilogy)
by Tom Conrad
"For a more than miffed Midnight, fate was for emperors, fools and soppy lovers: - fate was the self-important egotism of those doing well, the sheer unbearable arrogance of the living and loved."Rich Pickings for Ravens is the first part of The Afterlife Crisis Trilogy and Tom Conrad’s whimsical and gently amusing debut novel. In the classic detective mould two cases of inquiry overlap - a young ghost’s relationship past and the sequence of events surrounding his mysterious accidental death. In a nut shell, Rich Picking For Ravens is a modern-day ghostly tale of sexual adventuring, smut, murderous humour and page-turning intrigue. In an even smaller nut shell, it is The Hobbit for adults, though with considerably more ghosts than hobbits in it. There are no hobbits in it!
