"Not Without My Cat (When fish is not enough)" *OUT NOW* LINK TO DOWNLOAD

Sam is a detective, and what do detectives do? Well, detect acts of crime, survey the misdoings of of the mistakenly lovelorn, eat sandwiches, and look for lost cats. Since going into the private sector Sam is holding down another job of the hush-hush variety, and being rather good at keeping secrets is immensely skilled at keeping the bizarre and downright unnerving out of his rather mundane private life in his indeterminate flat that he shares with Camille, a rather demanding female of the feline variety. However, Sam's life is about to get very complicated indeed, when his beloved Camille (who is convinced that her name is NOT such and only returns when Sam shouts "Haddock!") finds a startling piece of evidence of an unusual and seemingly impossible crime. With Camille holding this inexplicable object in her jaws, it is now time for Sam to get a grip, Man Up, and face his greatest fears: mega packs of Whiskas, electric tin openers and the scene of a crime far closer to home than he ever expected.....

"Cloud Field" *OUT SOON*

Davey Milnes is a Twenty-Something Skinny Graduate working for a Graphic Design company. His mundane and rather unexciting life is to be changed for the better he hopes when he joins a Scientific expedition into the frozen wastes of an unexplored Northern region. However, the "Science" that he and the Expedtion Team have become involved in is a bizarre experiment into parallel realities. To his horror Davey realises that they are all the subjects of someone else's experiment, and in order to escape the power of the "Cloud Field" he has to go beyond the limits of endurance and find the answer to the secrets at the heart of this inhospitable land. He finds that friends and enemies alike are not what they seem, and the further you go the more the team forget where they came from....even who they are. When the past and the future can be changed; even he leaves, can he escape those who seek to control this power over his life and even his memories?

How Long Is A Piece Of String?

Has anyone a definitive word count for each type of piece?
A Nice Cup of Tea and a sit down.
Is a novel of a minimum length? Are there any actual rules about this? I found myself looking at word counts in relation to value for money when I'm buying an eBook.  For my own work I came up with the ideal solution; every 33,000 words roughly will cost $1. From observation that is a fair price. I think that the reader doesn't want to pay alot for a shorter less meaty read, when there is another book for the same price for triple the word count.
My main gripe is NOT that shorter books are offered online... far from it. I just read a great Novella by Brandon Sanderson and really enjoyed it. But that is the key, it was called a NOVELLA. It didn't pretend to be a novel, which I understand to be a book of 60,000 words or above. So I was a happy customer, the description matched the content. Of course I want to buy a book that is well written, exciting, intriguing and enjoyable; but the feeling that I might run out of string is not pleasant. Normally I like long books! I love to get my teeth into something when I have the time.... that is the thing at the moment. The piece of string has to be the length to suit the reader and their reading habits, personal preferences, and tastes in fiction.
But just as I like to get a big vat of strawberries and guzzle them to my hearts content, I don't want to find out I could have got a better, juicer... and larger punnet from the stall next door.
I think it makes sense to not try to get away with describing your short story/novella as a novel, when it plainly isn't. I came across this recently, and having clicked onto the page of a writer whose "novels" were on display, was disappointed to find perilously low word counts. I felt offended because I write past the 100,000 word line every time. My next two novels will be both a good read.
Anyway.... food for thought. I ask that you sell your wares fairly, describe them accurately, and don't hike your prices through the roof! And if you are a savvy reader you'll already know what you would see as a bargain, and what IS good value. So let us reckon on our potential readers and future fans being given a good deal.
