In this week's Author Diary, I've been continuing work on my Speculative Fiction collections, sorting through short stories and getting everything ready for release.The first collection, Influenced, is now available to pre-order on all major ebook platforms. It's packed with dark, satirical tales that twist reality in unsettling—and sometimes all-too-familiar—ways.I also talk about watching The Residence, a fun and clever murder mystery set in the White House—highly recommended if you enjoy sharp dialogue and political intrigue with your whodunnits.Plus, don't forget: you can download my short story collection Optimised for free at joncronshaw.com/optimised.#AuthorDiary #SpeculativeFiction #InfluencedBook #FreeShortStory #Optimised #TheResidenceNetflix #MurderMysterySeries #SatiricalFiction #DarkSpeculativeFiction #BookPreOrder
In this week's Author Diary, I share exciting developments and reflections as the year draws to a close. I've just completed the fourth novella in The Ravenglass Throne series, only to realise that what I've created is a full novel, not four novellas! Moving forward, I'll start posting chapters exclusively on Patreon, as I shift to a Patreon-first publishing approach for my work. I also look back on 2024, reflecting on the progress of the Ravenglass Legends series and my plans to expand it in the coming year. With several books currently with my editor—including Guild of Assassins 2 & 3 and the Punks Versus Zombies trilogy—I'm gearing up for a busy and productive 2025. I discuss my open projects, including Dawn of Assassins 4 and Scoundrels Book 1, which are on my must-finish list for next year. Additionally, I touch on a crucial area for growth: marketing. Feeling that my author business has plateaued, I've started a course on book marketing to refine the strategies I've been using since 2017.
