Hi folks, just a few words to let you all know I'm still alive and kicking. I have been away for a few days to Disneyland Paris with my wife and daughter who is the worlds biggest Disney fan.We all had a great time apart from being roasted alive in the heatwave that has been sitting across the UK and parts of Europe for the past couple of weeks. Viewing some of the sights and trying out a few of the rides gave my quite a few ideas that can be used in future horror books. Now back home it has given me a new vigour to continue writing my latest book which is already a quarter of the way towards completion. This new tome has a science fiction theme which probably will not interest everyone but it is still a chilling vision of the future.

Fresh update coming soon as it is now time to get back to work.

Being a novice to the world of blogging I find it amazing that people from all across the globe with an internet connection have taken the time to browse at my mad musings !   
Anyway back to the task in hand. For two days last week I allowed my ebook Timelock to be available for a free download on the Amazon website. The response was phenomenal and I hope that it will provide an entertaining holiday read for the lucky few. If you missed your chance it is still available  for only £1.99 , a bargain if I say so myself ! ;)
Don't forget that  reviews are the lifeblood to internet sales so if you enjoyed it let prospective readers know.

Thank you

Welcome to my second post. First thing I would like to say is that I am overwhelmed by the number of people across the globe who have taken the time to read my first post. All I can say is thank you.

Today is just a short blast for all you horror story fans that is that I am going to be offering my E-Book Timelock for free download on kindle books for two days on the July 11th and July 12th 2013. Should anyone trouble themselves to read my book I would be more than grateful if you could post a review on kindle.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my first blog. My name is R. G. Knighton and I would like to tell you all about my first E-book titled Timelock. The story its self was penned some seventeen years ago in a series of red school note books, in between customers at my Greeting card and gift shop. Being an avid reader of horror and adventure fiction novels and having a very active imagination I decided that it was not beyond the realms of impossibility that I could write one myself. The first thing I set about doing was to list all the things that scare me the most and what film scenes caused me the biggest fright. As a youngster the Hammer Horror films that probably would not scare many people today, even though fantastical in story offered a base realistic property to the setting that set them apart from the Hollywood films form the same era. With this in mind I built the story around a nightmare I once had and added everything that if I read myself would give the greatest chill.

The book was soon finished and being a pre E-book era, the only way to release my book to the masses was to get a publisher. Having a young family and the constant demands of running your own business, the book was soon forgotten and found its way into the bottom drawer of my bedside cabinet. That was until last year I read an article in a national newspaper how a woman published her book simply and free online at AmazonKindle books. She explained how many book sales she had achieved and recommended it to any other aspiring writers.

This lit the fuse and following the purchase of my first laptop computer I dug out my old manuscript and transposed it all into a crisp new digital format. Within three months, again in between customers at my shop, (Yes folks, I’m still there) I managed to complete my first fiction horror novel. The problem was that in my opinion it was woefully too short compared to the average novel of today so I changed the ending and converted my magnum opus into a two part story that converged as one in one thrilling finale. This second story took a lot longer to produce as instead of copying from hand written text, everything now had to come directly from the recesses of my old grey matter directly onto the page. Several months and numerous rewrites later, I am now able to announce that thebook is complete and online at the kindle book store for the incredibly lowprice of only £1.99. A small recompense I am sure for all the blood sweat and tears that went into this novel of which I am very proud and I hope you find a most enjoyable read.
