December 2015 saw the release of The Force Awakens and introduced the mainstream world to the word starkiller.
2016 seems to have taken the concept to heart.
Month: December 2016
A very merry Christmas to You All
Hope you end the year on a high – let’s face it we need it this year more than any other. And let’s hope next year is a vast improvement.
I am hoping for new starts, new dreams and beginnings.

I have had very busy 2016 and alot to look forward to in 2017. Being involved in my favourite tv series was a thrill and supporting any spin-off from it is always a joy. Happy Holidays. https://www.facebook.com/Spiteful-Puppet-222440001214472/

Another Fantastic Review!
This one for my Poetry Collection!
“Great concept to write a poem a day for a year and provides an insight into copying with difficult family circumstances – a recommended read for anyone who has struggled in such situations. Some poems were obviously more personal than others (my favourites were those when the writer cherishes the ‘small moments’ in life such as going to a fireworks display with his wife and son) but he also branches out into more political territory. Look out for the funny poems scattered through-out the book too, one in particular made me laugh out loud! A good read and Scott Bailey shows talent as a poet. Recommended.”

Mankind Limited – The Secret
Sales and Stats slowly climbing
I did it! Well, the first of my aims for the end of this year. I made it over 10,000 views this year. Paltry compared to some I know but miles better than any previous year for me.
Just another 90 followers to pick up now 🙂
On top of that a few more sales this week – including a soft back! Maybe the ball is finally picking up some momentum.
For many reasons – roll on 2017!

It is dark but true

When we dig deeper
Better Sales Ranks – Thirteen Tales.
So here’s the stats right now on Amazon UK – 276th in Short Stories – not bad!
Check it out – for a taster click here. And the Softback version will be available soon.
A collection of short stories concerning ghosts. Some are traditional ghost stories in the tradition of M.R. James and Edgar Allan Poe. Other are not. Some scare, some are fun. Some play with the concept of a ghost. There are ghosts who are out for revenge and the living avenging the spirits that curse them.
Ideal for sitting around a campfire and late at night under the covers. Or maybe not if the stories themselves are any guide.
Check it out at Amazon and Smashwords and other online e-book retailers.
A paperback version os being worked on for those who prefer the feel of the paper while huddling by the fire – on your own – in the dark – with that noise behind you……

Chasing Stats Again
So, I have beaten las
t years views by a mile. I have even surpassed the year before by quite a bit. In fact, this has been the best year stats wise for my blog since I started it.
Just wish that some of it would translate into some clicks and sales of my books. Hey-Ho. Anyway, that’s not really why I do it. I enjoy it and I love the little network I have discovered of like-minded people.
But that doesn’t change the fact that I get addicted to chasing stats. As I have surpassed all previous records I have to aim for something new. So I am aiming for 10000 views by the end of the year and 1000 followers. The first is possible at my current rate. The second maybe not – need to add just under 100 in a few weeks.
Let’s see how it goes.
Another Sale!
