To Crete with some friends recently and in an airport book shop – I am feeling stressed, hopeful and a little overwhelmed… keen to make a good choice. Authors I’ve heard of – reassuring because I’ve heard of them, right? Against newbies who are likely to be winners because debut books habe their heart and…
“…imagine a book club for blokes?” A punch-line from my show Eclipsed – performed two years ago at the Edinburgh festival. It got a big laugh each night but out of context and without its set-up, I am conscious that it won’t raise even a smile here in print. A brave way then to begin…
My thanks to Hayedb – for being the first person to review I,Gabriel on amazon.co.uk. “I’ve enjoyed all of Domonic Holland’s books and this one is his best yet. I was hooked by the first few pages and I haven’t been able to put this book down today (I’ve shamelessly abandoned someone else’s bestseller midway…
Tomorrow is 29th July 2019 – the most important date of my year and one that I selected many many moons ago to give me plenty of time to fully prepare for the launch of my most successful book to date, I,Gabriel. This plan included establishing a successful podcast of both my blog and new…
I was excited to publish the introduction to I,Gabriel this week – until a typo was pointed out to me via twitter. A typo on page… 1 On page blinking ONE! What then lies within? What other horrors or howlers await my readers? Some scorn and derision can still be metered out to self-published authors…
Too often the benchmarks by which a life is gauged are too hollow. Income. Size of house. What car? How much, how big… And whilst our achievements are central, it is the effort and endeavour that we invest in our achievements that is key – because of the hope it creates – and as I…
In the acknowledgements page of I,Gabriel, appears a name you will be unfamiliar with… Raef Meeuwisse. I told you. It’s an unusual name. He is the only Raef and the only Meeuwisse I have ever met – but boy, am I glad that I did – as should be anyone who is looking forward to…
This is a blog I wrote today for The Brothers Trust website – which I thought to share here also in-line with advice gleaned from my sporadic bursts at becoming more on-line savvy – which is at best, plodding… * Like all Marvel films, for the diehard fans, Spider-Man Far From Home is more of…
Some people are better than others at pushing themselves and their wares on-line. It seems that the more brazen the person is, the better the results – and so perhaps I should be pleased with my meagre success in this arena. Certainly my pushing is always gentle – a ‘funny’ blog with a covert suggestion…
Finally, welcome to my new site… as torturous an experience I can recall until the last two days, loading the manuscript and jacket of I,Gabriel on to various on-line book publishing platforms – harder in fact that writing the blinking book. This site is designed with ease and accessibility in mind, for instance, the comments…
