Author: Ian D Moore

A trucker based at Goole Tesco DC, fledgling author of Salby Damned. Now, aged 44, I have two sons of my own whom I love dearly. Having written short stories and poetry for many years, I was challenged to write a story for my sister Helen which lead to the first novel being published. It has been a learning curve but I have thoroughly enjoyed it and am now working on another novel, but all in good time ;') More recently, I have joined forces with a group of international Indie Authors to create You're Not Alone: An Indie Author Anthology from which 100% of the profits generated by the sale of this book will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support. You'll find the book on Amazon in both paperback and ebook formats. Currently working on the sequel to Salby Damned and another title, Being Within which is still in the planning stages. We will also be compiling a 2016 Macmillan Cancer Anthology. I am also entering two more short stories for compilations by other authors within our writing group.

An Indie Author’s Ally

May 9, 2017May 9, 2017 Ian D Moore

We’ve all been there, sat at our flickering screens marvelling at our completed first draft. When the stars stop spinning, realisation smacks us square in the face, dampening our joy. What do I do with it now? I remember, a couple of years past, when I’d completed my first novel. I knew little about the publishing industry, the how to’s, and more importantly, the who to’s. I set about designing a cover, opened photoshop, that program that had sat on my machine since forever, and began to dribble. Yup, clueless. Ohhhhh, look what that button does, no wait, nooooo, I … Continue reading An Indie Author’s Ally

Book review: Salby Evolution by Ian D Moore

March 14, 2017 Ian D Moore

Originally posted on K.J's Athenaeum:
They had thought it was over. The SALBY virus had been deactivated, and those infected had returned to their lives, mostly. There had been losses, causalities, and things would never be the same. They had no idea of the looming disaster, nor could they have imagined that one person, infected by the original virus,, had escaped before the UK was quarantined. But even so, on a freighter like the one he had stowed away in, given the virus ultimately killed the host, any infected should have been long dead before it reached dock.… Continue reading Book review: Salby Evolution by Ian D Moore

The Little Things in Life

September 22, 2016September 22, 2016 Ian D Moore

All around me, bombardment of news, events and happenings flood into my personal space. Today, much like every day away from work, I become one of the masses once again. My transformation is slight, casual clothes and less of a burden, without the need to be somewhere sometime. My day didn’t start as I’d hoped mind, no. My body had other ideas, refusing point blank to allow me to wake at the desired hour, instead seizing upon an opportunity to eek out every minute of sleep afforded, as if it knew that I wasn’t at work. That’s all very well, … Continue reading The Little Things in Life

The tattoo, the writer, and the RAK

September 9, 2016December 12, 2016 Ian D Moore

For three long weeks I’d planned this day, right down to the last detail. Timings, routes, and possible delays I had taken into consideration as I worked out the best way to my destination. A couple of weeks before, I’d finalised the design to be tattooed up my right side, something I’ve wanted to do for awhile now. Sure, I’d seen hundreds of designs and yet felt the need to draw my own. That’s what I did one night after work. Yes, it’s rough and not to scale, but it’s been a few years since I took up a pencil … Continue reading The tattoo, the writer, and the RAK

Here’s an idea … Bouncepen.com

July 29, 2016July 30, 2016 Ian D Moore

Indies. No … not injuns’, (hoik, phut … ting!) I mean INDIES. Sorry, I feel compelled to spit whenever I say … well, you get the idea. Anyways, indie authors. Yup, you know us well, the overworked, underpaid ghosts of the writing world who turn out blistering stories and remain locked up in their cupboards eternally typing away. What if I told you there’s a new outlet in town which has the potential to be bigger than KU? What if I told you you’ll make TRIPLE your royalties because it’s the readers who pay the commission, not the hard-pressed authors? … Continue reading Here’s an idea … Bouncepen.com
