Win A Copy of Belonging, An Above Ground Story

You may have noticed a snazzy new book cover in the sidebar on the home page. You may have seen the announcement on the Facebook page. But if you haven’t, you can admire the cover right now: The virus is spreading. Born in a test tube, Anthony has never set foot outside the company compound. But when his best friend goes out to rescue the evacuees, Anthony is the only one who can bring her back to safety. He alone . . . continue reading »

No Update This Week

Sorry guys, Above Ground will not be updating this week.

There is a bit of a house emergency going on—I don’t want to go into the details, but rest assured it’s not life-threatening yet it’s still fairly upsetting.

To make up for my life fail, I’ll upload a bonus short story some of you might not have seen yet. Normal updates resume next week.

Sad face.

Above Ground: The Return

Guess who’s back . . . back again.

AG’s back. Tell a friend.

Guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s copying song lyrics shamelessly . . . .

You heard it. Above Ground has begun posting again! Long time no see, I know. New updates will come every Tuesday at midnight London time (which is Mondays at 7pm New York time—you work out your own time zone if needed).

First off thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate your support and would never have gotten this far without awesome readers.

The GOOD news is it’s going to be a lot better than it was originally. I think that’s already clear from the first chapter, even though Chapter 1 hasn’t changed too much from the original.

The BAD news is that I haven’t finished the rewrite yet, so can’t jump straight into the serial+ model as planned. I blame it on a number of factors, including: lots of 1889 editing work (boo), extended summer holidays (yay!), writer’s laziness (boo), new boyfriend (yay!) . . . and more besides.

I know, I’m lame. Eugh. However, I’m thinking of offering a compromise: for anyone willing to stump up $20, I’ll give you the chapters as they’re ready (meaning ahead of posting schedule), plus an individualised ebook when it comes out, plus a print book (shipping included). Haven’t worked out the details 100% yet, but that’s the general gist.

Thoughts, opinions, suggestions etc welcome.

Above Ground Begins Posting September 15

As you may have seen on amharte.com, changes are afoot! I realise the last six months have been dead on qazyfiction, and for that I apologise. I’ve been pretty unreliable on the posting/writing front and it’s made me understand that I suck at the seat-of-my-pants write-a-new-chapter-every-week stuff. So for the last few months (and still now, ahhh!) I’ve been editing, revising, rewriting, and adding content to the original version of Above Ground. The new version will follow Lilith, Silver, and . . . continue reading »
