Blog 8 of my writing journey concerns the masochistic copy edit and typecast stage that destroyed any delusions that I had about my English quality, yet delivered the pleasure of creating something professional from my rough draft www.alexanderducharme.com/post/the-edi... #booksky #readsky #writesky

Marketing an 80,000 word novel into a few lines on the back cover isn’t easy, particularly for a debut author. This 7th blog on my Dark Pools book-writing journey something that could perhaps have benefitted from some professional input. www.alexanderducharme.com/post/backsid... #booksky #readsky

“Never judge a book by its cover” is such an inapt metaphor. As with the rest of my book writing journey, there are rules. This 6th blog on how we got to the cover for Dark Pools. www.alexanderducharme.com/post/the-cover #writesky #booksky #thriller #debutauthor #newbook #indiewriter #bookstoread

The second blog on my book writing journey has Muttu Murali, Sri Lankan chef at Villa Traxler, discussing the background to the title of the book, Dark Pools, and the thinking behind writing under a pseudonym. His full blog is here www.alexanderducharme.com/post/why-dar... #writesky #booksky
Why? How? What? Virtually all my conversations at Book Clubs or Author signings centre around the journey from the genesis of an idea to the publication of the book. The most common question is “What inspired you to write Dark Pools?” #Booksky #WritingBlueSky
