"Twisted Tails" Launch Done Up in Style

Although I had no idea what to expect, I would have to say that yesterday's launch for "Wild Wolf's Twisted Tails" was a brilliant success, and was duly celebrated in a grand style.

Cheers from Rod and Tony at Station Central at Newcastle on Tyne, and from all the rest of us 'Lovely Wolfites'.

"Angus Breaks Free" Now Out In FreeFall Magazine

Just a quick note to let you know that my author's copies of FreeFall magazine (including my story "Angus Breaks Free" p 61) arrived in the mail today. Due to the contract I won't be allowed to post my story on this blog until mid-August, so if you can't wait that long (and let's face it, who can?) I'll leave you the link so that you can contact FreeFall and get a copy of your very own.

"The Adventures of Charlie Smithers" - Soon In Paperback!!

I received an email from Sam this morning, informing me that, due to his solid showing this quarter, Charlie Smithers will be coming out in paperback sometime over the summer - possibly July or August! You know what this means, don't you? Those of you without Kindles will no longer have an excuse not the opportunity to purchase a copy, and I, at long last, will finally be able to hold the actual book in my hands (a dream I've had, like, since forever!) So you see it's a win-win situation!

Thank you Wild Wolf.

And from the bottom of my heart, thank all of you (you know who you are) for the support that's made this possible.

Book Launch - Wild Wolf's Twisted Tails

Do you think I'm hyped? This Friday on FB, should be a blast, for the worldwide launch of "Wild Wolf's Twisted Tails" anthology! I have friends from (at last count) seven different countries, from four (count'em FOUR) different continents attending with me! So if you've received my FB invitation and haven't replied yet, I urge you to come along and join in the fun. Festivities will go on all day from 12:00 pm - 12:00 am (GMT)

Oh yeah, baby, I'm hyped all right!

PS: For those of you who have already accepted my invitation, thank you so much for guaranteeing that this is going to be a memorable day.

Release Date for Twisted Tails Announced

 The announced release date for "Wild Wolf's Twisted Tails" is this coming Friday, the 24th of May. Yikes!

You'll want to get this: over twenty stories by some damn fine writers, including two by yours truly (ahem!)

Stay tuned for the links.

The Cover For Wild Wolf's Twisted Tails

After a false start for the cover of Wild Wolf's Twisted Tails (that I thought was pretty darn good, by the way) Peter Fussey, quite literally, went back to the drawing board, and came up with this. What can I say, he's done it again. It's even better.

I shouldn't forget to mention that two of my stories are included in this collection: "Freedom's Wings" and "Cooking Without Onions". Keep your eye on this site, I'll be sure to let you know the moment it's released.

Charlie's back in the top 100 in Humour - Amazon.uk

Check it out, but hurry! Charlie broke back into the top 100 in Humour at Amazon.uk.

Whoops! Not So Official After All!!

STOP THE PRESS!!! There's been a last minute change: the cover art and title for Wild Wolf's collection of shorts is going to be different than advertised. Instead of "Darkness and Despair - A Wild Wolf Anthology", the new title will be, "Wild Wolf's Twisted Tails" (I believe that the pun is intended). Cover art TBA.

PS: I've decided to leave the previous post with the original idea, as I've grown rather fond of it.

Preliminary Artwork For 'Darkness and Despair'

I finished writing late tonight, as I wanted to finish the chapter. It's going not too bad, if I do say so myself!

So anyway, when I finished writing, I clicked onto my email, and this was the first thing I found - a message from Peter Fussey with a preliminary sketch for the cover art of Wild Wolf's collection of short stories, 'Darkness and Despair'.

This is always an exciting moment!

In fact it's been a good day all around. The results from Charlie's second quarter are in, and I didn't think they were all that bad, either. Thank you!

'Voices' Launch Announced

This is as close to being cast in stone as the literary world ever gets. Lake Winnipeg Writers' Group's journal, 'Voices', is slated for June 15th on McNally Robinson's website. You'll note who (by virtue of having come 1st in adult fiction - ahem!) is listed as the first reader...

Anthology Title Released

Things are happening on the anthology end of things. Wild Wolf is now aiming for a June 1st release date. They came up with a heck of a title, too. Both my stories will fit right in.

Can't wait to see the artwork!

Well, lovely Wolfites, it looks like we may have finally settled on a name for the forthcoming anthology. Here it is...

Charlie's Now On Goodreads

I just found out, via a good friend of mine, that The Adventures of Charlie Smithers is now on Goodreads. The Adventures of Charlie Smithers

It's great news, of course, although it does seem an odd way of finding out. I must have missed the memo from my publisher, and wouldn't you know that this all happened on a Friday night, so my hastily sent query won't be answered until Monday.

I spent a good deal of this morning dusting off my profile, and bringing it up to date - I hadn't touched it since I joined in 2010, and haven't visited often since then, as time is a precious commodity these days.

Another thing: there's no cover art for Charlie. Must ask Sam about that, too.

Last but not least, Charlie's page is like a bare room desperately in need of furnishings. You know what that means, don't you? That's right! HE DESPERATELY NEEDS REVIEWS!! (hint! hint!)
 

Alison Rocks!! - A Charlie Smithers Review

This review was written by Alison C. Emann on Amazon.com. I found it really quite touching.

Thank you, Alison.

This review is from: The Adventures of Charlie Smithers (Kindle Edition)

This morning I finished CW Lovatt's book. His story and the two main characters I think will stay with me for the rest of my life. Books come and go and the stories fade with time. The characters blend with others and I get them muddled in my brain. I do not think I will ever forget Charlie, Loiyan and their adventure together.
CW Lovatt, you have written an amazing story. I would swear you lived it out yourself it is so vivid. I would say more about how it affected me but am afraid I'd give away too much. Thank you for a roller coaster read. Up down and all around. It was really quite an experience. (If I didn't make it clear yet, I loved it!)
