The trailer is finished – and our campaign to crowdfund production of Issue 1 of our comic book series is now live! There’s no denying it’s been a long haul – fitting in the creation of a four-minute, part-live action trailer around busy workaday lives has been a constant challenge for everyone on our team,Continue reading “We’re up and Running – ‘Minding Mama’ Trailer goes live on Kickstarter!”

‘Minding Mama’ – the next project!
‘Keep writing!’ Sound advice from creative industry ‘old-timers’ (by that, I don’t mean those authors are older than me, but that they’ve been writing long enough to know how it all works – and sometimes, why it doesn’t). Finish one project, and move onto the next, practice makes perfect (I hope) and all that… luckily I’mContinue reading “‘Minding Mama’ – the next project!”
How I created a book trailer
above: artwork for ‘The Methuselah Paradox’ trailer by Catherine Archer-Wills by EJ Jackson The Beginning First of all, I should make it clear that I’m not claiming that this is the only way to create a book trailer, or that you as an indie author should follow my method.

Connections
It’s always great to meet like-minded folk. The team at Scannerdrome TV interviewed me yesterday about my writing process, book trailers, and why we love sci-fi. The hardest part?

What’s In A Name? Novel and Trailer Update
‘The Methuselah Gene’ is now ‘The Methuselah Paradox’ This book has had more titles than I’ve had hot dinners! Well, not really… but it started life as a short story titled ‘The Journey’, before becoming a full-blown novel called ‘All Our Yesterdays’; then it became ‘All Our Tomorrows’. Following a massive rewrite during which the secondary plotlineContinue reading “What’s In A Name? Novel and Trailer Update”
Create a Science – Fiction show
It’s often difficult to ask people for money – but when the reward is something this special – to be part of a science-fiction show from the very beginning- then it feels less like begging and more ‘hey, how would you like to be a part of something really special?’ So, with that in mind,Continue reading “Create a Science – Fiction show”
Why we should never give up on our dreams… why crowdfunding works
If someone had told my fifteen-year-old self that I would one day create an appreciation society for a favourite science-fiction show (a club which is still going strong thirty-four years later) or that I would be invited to visit the set, go to sci-fi conventions and meet authors, directors and actors, write a novel, and have the opportunityContinue reading “Why we should never give up on our dreams… why crowdfunding works”
