It might sound like democracy for all writers, but it isn't. It's a minefield of people asking you to pay for reviews, pay for promotion, pay for advertising, send them free copies of your book... And being as the big publishers are using the same platforms as the self-published, the indie writers have no leverage or visibility. And nobody will so much as download a free book if there aren't dozens of reviews already online. So it's very much a Catch-22. Get an agent. Get a real publisher. Or nobody will ever see your book.(less)

Editorial review from "Subterranea Britannica"

I'm very pleased to announce that "City of Dark" has been reviewed in the April edition of Subterranea Britannica. The magazine for subterranean Britain says: "a recommended read that incorporates underground exploration into a contemporary storyline" which "develops shaped by realistic glimpses of French history, politics and bureaucracy".
