Algorithms! That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking with it! Alternatively, I could just confess and say I love fantasy books. I simply can’t write crime and thriller books all the time. I need to shake it up a little, and what better way to do that than to write in a completely different genre. Yes, I’ve done this a lot, but this time I’m planting my literary feet right in the middle of the world of mythical beasts and creatures. I’m doing so with another Welsh pen name to further embrace the Welsh blood in my veins. Oh, and to confound the algorithms!

As an aside, it’s curious… I’ve never done well at maths and it haunts me. Whoever thought algorithms were a good idea, never thought to ask. Just saying!

Anyway, revealing Iago Jones and his books in this post, will also reveal a few more stories that I have written, published, and hidden from the world – not intentionally. Well, actually, maybe intentionally. However, here they are with links to:

If you’re here for the Greenland crime and thrillers because you read crime and thriller books, then let’s just agree that these stories probably aren’t for you. 😉

January is always tough, so it’s best not to ask about the “million words” challenge. 😉 I have been busy, though.

The budget for one thing.

And playing around with covers to sell, and this time I mean it!

This falls under the category of indie authors and writer “stuff” as finding covers is a huge part of the indie author business. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m working on a portfolio of covers I will make available for sale for authors looking for a pre-made cover. These are not commissioned works, but pre-made covers in all genres to which I will add the author’s details, the title of the book, and taglines etc.

They are not stock images. I use 3D tools and assets to create original images and scenes. I’ll sell one and one only, so they will be unique to the author who buys them.

I’m not quite ready to launch yet, but I’m getting there.

More importantly – for me – I’m learning to let go. I don’t need to write a story for every cover I design, even though I might want to. It’s ridiculous, I know, but I tend to get rather attached to anything I make. I guess that’s natural, but at some point … you gotta let go!

I’m trying.

Something completely different… again!

A million distractions!
