The Falls (Inspector Rebus, #12)The Falls by Ian Rankin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was the first Ian Rankin book I ever read. I simply loved his characters and their syntax. After reading this I delved into a number of his inspector rebus books and simply loved them.

I'll sleep when i'm gone

Today I've been redrafting the e book I’m working on and examining the artwork for its front cover. There are so many different things I need to do in order to get this product ready for publication and therefore I foresee many sleepless nights in my near future. If I wasn’t so in love with writing and creativity I probably would have given up on this book ages ago, because the road to its creation has been both exhilarating and draining.

The saga begins

Ok I'm new to blogging, but I've decided that I've got to start a blog, a twitter page, a youtube page and a facebook page, because:

1)  I'm a creative person

2) The internet is the perfect tool to build a fan base and stay in touch with fans.

3) The internet is the perfect marketing tool for anyone who wants to do anything independently  

Who am I? A 32 year old writer (novels, scripts, poetry and music), film maker and music producer.  Over the years I've undertaken a number of independent ventures, and each of them has taught me something that I plan to bring to my next venture. One of the most important things I've learned is that even the perfect product will fail to sell if you don't communicate its existence to its potential market. This realisation led to me working just as hard on building up my marketing chops as working on improving my talents. Why haven't you heard of me? Well quite simply I've been honing my craft and nothing I've done so far has gained a large an enough following. However, I plan to change this in the near future with the current venture I'm working on: my first published e book called "Borlosanti". I'm currently redrafting this work of fiction for umpteenth time because a great writer once said that a good writer drafts again and again until his work is perfect and I'm a perfectionist if nothing else.
