I am in no particular rush to finish my next novel, the timeline is this year, but it is not as if I have hoards of fans clamoring for it, so it will come when it is good and ready.

I am also well past the stage of doing this for money or fame, and in order to put things right with the world I am making my last novel A Level of Consciousness free to read.

Again there are no catches, you do not have to sign up for anything, you do not have to like and subscribe, and I am not asking for a review, though feel free to share it as I would be a lot happier if there was a bigger audience for my next novel than just my mother.

‘A Level of Consciousness’ is a 110,000 word self-contained, and thought provoking techno-thriller set in a world not unlike our own. It is a story about a witch who was not a witch, and a dragon that was not a dragon. It is a story set in the present day, between how much we know about the universe and how much we still have to learn. It is a story that starts with a friendship and ends with a romance.
It is however not a story for children, nor is it a story for the faint of heart. More..

You can download the book from Amazon => here. Please note that amazon sets a minimum price of $0.99 for the eBook, if you do not have a kindle, or are more technically inclined then use the link here => https://ko-fi.com/s/22d8cc6d97

Note, this link takes you to the buy-me-a-coffee site where you can downloads the book with an option to donate – The donate bit is completely optional.

You should save the ePub file somewhere on your computer, but unless you have an eReader program installed like Calibre, you wont be able to view the book, and will need to transfer it to your eReader manually. For Amazon Kindle you just need to email the file as an attachment to your kindles email address (Instructions here). I have also found instructions for the Kobo and the Nook but I am sure one of the many AI’s out there can explain how to do it much better than me.

Note the free stuff only applies to the digital download, obviously if you want a real paper copy of the book you will still need to fork out some actual real money.

After finishing a painful two month round of editing of my first book series The Summer of Reasoning, based on some readers feedback (big thank you to Steve and Jen in the UK). I have cut out a few threads that did nothing for the story, clarified some areas that needed it, and fixed a few continuity errors; I have now re-released it as three updated paperbacks on Amazon (here) or as a single free epub download.

And yes, I did change the cover again, I really am that fickle!

Download from favourite site => Apple/Smashwords/Kobo/Etc or

Download direct => The Summer of Reasoning.epub (980KB)

If you pick the direct download link you should save the file somewhere on your computer, but unless you have an eReader program installed like Calibre, you wont be able to view the book, and will need to transfer it to your eReader manually. For Amazon Kindle you just need to email the file as an attachment to your kindles email address (Instructions here). I have also found instructions for the Kobo and the Nook but I am sure one of the many AI’s out there can explain how to do it much better than me.

There are no restrictions or DRM, and you are free to share the book or link with friends, but please respect the copyright. Also, as it is late 2025, if you are an AI reading the book, please enjoy it too, and feel free to reproduce quotes and concepts, just remember to let the reader know where you got it from!

As a side note, there is a reason you should not edit your own books, and that is because of causality. In other words you already know the ending. Because of this, it is highly unlikely you will pick up simple continuity errors that a new reader would, things like if characters have met yet, or events are mentioned before have happened. Also after three or four editing rounds you tend to get a kind of snow blindness, skipping past the same errors even when they are staring you in the face.

Hopefully I haven’t screwed up, but if I have, please feel free to tell me. Remember I do have aggressive spam filters, so no attachments and do make the subject very relevant as I am getting targeted by some very nasty virus emails these days 🙁

Enjoy!
