Well, Christmas is nearly here. I've had dissapointing sales so far, it seems that I cannot get the publicity I need. I pursued a review with a local magazine, but so far they have never come back to me. I'm giving more books away than selling. I know it is down to exposure, and that is where I am missing out. To cap it all, I'm out of work, a victim of the recession. My partners car has broken down and the dishwasher decided to pack up and that has cost money I simply don't have. Still, merry Christmas, have a drink or two to remind yourself that this is a good time of the year. A new one, full of hope, is just around the corner.

Tell me what you think!
I'm new at this! I hope that what I contribute to the big wide world will bring joy to some and make others think.
I have started writing and for some reason a publisher has chosen to print my first book. This is a revalation to me, the fact that I seem to have something to say that others may find interesting is so new to me. I have included a copy of the cover of my new book and the link to the publishers website. I don't know if this is the done thing but I have taken the risk. Are there conventions? I don't know. Anyway, here's some advice, if you have something to write then write it, and keep on writing. You can always be taught how to spell and construct a sentence later. But, only by writing will you develop your very own way of creating a story. This will be unique to you. This is what you must develop and no-one can teach it to you. Writing releases all of the emotions stored up over the years. When these are applied to a fictional situation they can be expanded out of normal limits. This act helps to deal with these things and at the same time creates something worthwhile. Go ahead, create your story. See below for mine.

THE GREEN WALL – SOUL PASSAGE
Author Michael John’s First Book in Series is a Fascinating Tale of Good and Evil, Otherworldly Beings, and Visions that will Help Save Human Kind.
In The Green Wall, Mike starts having visions he can’t explain. His visions and the result of his contact with another world have started to change
him physically. Will his new condition enable him to help save human life?
Have you ever wondered about your soul, reincarnation and deja-vu? Do you wonder how and why humankind was created? Can you understand why there is war, famine, disease and disaster costing so many lives? It is said there is a purpose to everything under Heaven. Have you ever pondered what that purpose may be? If you are anything like Mike and his family, you will no doubt have never given it a second thought. However, this was to change. Mike, it seems, has more to offer this world than just his expertise in computing. Can he and his family face up to the harsh realities that are the truth behind these things?
Michael John’s first novel in a captivating series depicts one family’s fight to survive the unbelievable pressure on their relationships and threats to their very existence. Mike’s familial relationships are affected after he begins possessing visions and experiences which cannot be easily explained. His incarceration in a psychiatric hospital following an assault starts a chain of events which bring the whole of existence close to annihilation.
Meanwhile, as disaster begins developing in a world next to our own, characters, both good and evil, from the two worlds manage to collide. Mike and his family join forces with the Disciples of Mordigarl to defeat evil and strive to avert a human disaster.

About the Author:
Michael John is known to friends as Mike. He lives with his partner and their three young children in the south of Hampshire in England. Mike was originally a manufacturing engineer, but in recent years worked as a freelance software consultant. He has written before, mainly children’s rhymes, but his current works are part of his first real push to establish himself as a working storyteller. A storyteller is what he considers himself to be, rather than a writer. He claims he inherited this ability from his father who, before they had television, would entertain the family with tales from his childhood and of the Second World War.
