If any of you intelligent people out there know how to convert website/blog traffic into money, I'd love to hear from you.

My website, which I built with a blogger template, has clocked over 670K unique site visits. I have about 250 email subscribers and post reasonably interesting content (hence the high site visits, I guess).

So far, apart from the occasional book sale on Amazon, I have made nada with my site. From what I've heard, my high site visit numbers should be a pathway to financial freedom. Unfortunately, that is not the case (yet).

Any tips or advice will be gratefully received. 🙏

I’d be lying if I said that “reviews don’t make any difference to me.” As an author, a positive review showing that the reader enjoyed the work and appreciated the nuances embedded in the text is a real treat and a reaffirmation of my motivation to continue crafting and developing my art as a writer. There are, however, many reviewers who promise the world and fail to deliver any type of review, so thank you to all the reviewers out there who take the time to read and review indie authors. ❤🙏👏

P.S. If you're interested, this review is for my collection Psychological Horror Stories: Horror and Supernatural Fiction V3, available via Amazon KU: https://www.amazon.com/Psychological-Horror-Stories-Supernatural-Fiction-ebook/dp/B09GYRH4ZX

Happy Easter from the antipodes.

Inspired by PKD

When I think
About the wind
I wonder why
We can’t see it
Something so forceful
So elementally tangible
And then I wonder
What other facets of life
We can’t see
But yet exist
What other elements of nature
Exist in two realms
The seen and unseen
Possibly more?
This name I give myself
Implies I am something
Some one
Some body “human”
A natural organic growth
That walks the earth
As part of an unseen world
Atomically charged with a cloak
Of invisibility
Careening through the cosmos
Like a particle in the wind.

Hopeless Hopeless

A while back I had the extreme privilege of interviewing one of my favorite authors, Charlee Jacob. Despite poor health she was gracious enough to participate in the interview and offer some fascinating insights into her writing. Her first novel, ‘This symbiotic fascination’ is a highly original and poetic work that I always recommend. There will never be another, Charlee.

What is the one book that left an indelible mark on your psyche (or close to it)? I’m looking for recommendations for books that a have a depth of psychological impact that leaves the reader with a profound sense of unease or horror. And, no, I’m not looking for gross-out or so-called ‘extreme horror’ recommendations unless they are exceptionally well-written and achieve a resonant psychological horror. Exquisite Co**se by Poppy Z Brite and Charlee Jacob’s This Symbiotic Fascination are two titles that exemplify this type of psychological horror (in my opinion). Go!
