Author Diary - April 12, 2020
Welcome to Jon's author diary for the week ending April 12, 2020.
It’s been another busy week of lockdown. I've kept on with my schedule of writing in the mornings then home-schooling my son in the afternoons.
His guitar lessons are going really well. He’s getting the chords quite quickly and has got some strumming patterns down. I’ve taught him how to use a plectrum and started work on his first scale.
It’s surprising how fast he learns. He's seven, so he's basically a sponge at this age.
I love seeing his face when something clicks and he can do something he couldn’t before. I'm really proud of him for that.
We’ve definitely been enjoying the sunshine this week. It’s finally started to feel like spring. The sun’s been shining and winter seems like a distant memory.
We’ve been going out for walks each day. A few days ago, we took a walk along Morecambe prom and down the stone jetty to watch the tide coming in.
Taking a moment to get outside and appreciate nature is necessary in these testing times.
Book 15 is now live!
This week, I’ve been working on my first draft of The Tower, which is episode 15 of The Ravenglass Chronicles. Things are ramping up towards what I’m seeing as the final act (episodes 17-21) of the series.
In the meantime, episode 15, The Devil, is now live. As ever, I’ve kept the price down as low as I can—it’s 99p/99c or equivalent, or its available to read free on Kindle Unlimited.

The Devil has received the most pre-orders of any book I’ve released, so thanks to everyone who pre-ordered. It really means a lot to me.
Happy Easter!
I hope you’re having a hood weekend, especially if you’re celebrating Easter.
For lent, I gave up alcohol, chocolate, cake, biscuits, and bread. I’m sure my waistline has thanked me during this time being stuck at home, as I may have drifted into the habit of drinking far too much ale and gorging on German cookies. Mmmm…
It’s going to be a different kind of Easter for my son this year as we’ve not been able to buy him an Easter egg.
The shops are only stocking ‘essentials’ apparently, so no Easter eggs for us. We did manage to buy beer and gin though, so I guess alcohol is essential.
