EBooks

Just finished writing an article for a magazine about the e-revolution and how it has changed writing, and I have to say I wish e-books had been invented 20 years ago when I started at this game because life is a lot easier with them (don’t get me wrong I love print books but e-books are here to stay).

today

Being interviewed for  a news paper article about me and writing in general

today

one of the most civilised punch-ups in history is happening on a writers forum at the minute ...very funny
I'm off to Kildare for the evening, have to do allt hat work I was suppose to do today ... tomorrrow ... tomorrow there's always tomorrow it's only a day away!  (sic)

What are the Botolf Chronicles?

            How long is a piece of string?  If one end is tied to your toe and the other to a wild rampaging bull you’d hope it was very long indeed. 

Such is the manner of philosophical quandary posed by the staff of Botolf-almost-Oxford, the fabled college at the centre of Steve Downes’ comic-fantasy books.  The Botolf Chronicles catalogue the series of bizarre (and quite frankly ridiculous but funny) events surrounding two twin brothers James and Philip Philips, two hapless men adrift in a sea of monsters, myth, mayhem and mad postmen. 

The Chronicles follow James and Philip as they struggle across several worlds and dimensions and largely fail to comprehend the vastness of the magical multi-verse in which they exist alongside dragons, wizards, hobgoblins and small children (but no vampires).

The Chronicles are three books: Cosmogonic Marbles … Tribal Warfare in Hemel Hampstead  … (and the other book!)

Written to be read and enjoyed, so read and enjoy.
