Survive The Universe – Phoenix Phil Morley

Still at it

Hello lovely readers,

Just thought I’d drop a little update to you all as I know it’s been a quiet start to the year.

I suppose the biggest headline is that your new favourite space opera novel SURVIVE THE UNIVERSE 💫 got a little bit of a boast last month. I was thrilled to see that it had picked up readers in Japan 🇯🇵 for the first time. I’m always humbled and grateful when my books travel to other countries especially as they haven’t been translated (I’d love to translate them but y’know it’s expensive to do). Also it climbed back up in to the TOP TEN of a few genre charts, which I always find charming. There’s always something I loved about genre charts, I think it goes back to the data of ITV pop music show THE CHART SHOW where they’d have the indie chart and all kinds of underground curios got a chance to shine on TV if only for a second or two.

As for new stuff? I’m still chipping away at the novella. I’m about half way through, it’s taking me much longer than I hoped it would but I seem to struggle to write during winter. Though I struggle with most things in winter, I’d happily hibernate through January and February if I were able. Still as the nights grow lighter I’m feeling more productive so hopefully it’ll be ready in a couple of months. Dare I propose a Whitsun release?

One problem I do have is that my MacBook has grown too old for updates so I’m without the tech to publish. I’m desperately trying to save for a new-second hand one but I’m not getting far with that so if anyone wants to gift me an old one I’d be grateful – no harming in asking right? 😉

ANYHOWSA I hope you all are happy and healthy and if not I hope you’re getting the help you need to make things better.

Much love to you all.

Your ever lovin’ niXy P

Not Much of an Update (but an update nonetheless)

“He’s been quiet… I hope he’s hard at work!”

I’d love to tell you all that the next book is on its way but I’ve been busy. Honest. Admittedly I’m writing this one pint deep listening to old school house music in a pub (HITCHIN’S flighty and fun Coopers Arms) BUT I haven’t forgotten you dear readers.

I’m working away on both my novella and the sequel to BITE BACK❗️but factors such as my MacBook aging out (saving for a new one) and general winter nonsense have hindered my progress. I thank you for your patience and can guarantee it’ll be worth it. The novella is shaping up far better than I could have hoped and I’m dreaming up one helluva follow up to BB❗️for all you Creatures of the Night out there.

Oh yeah also SURVIVE THE UNIVERSE 💫 is free on kindle for 5 days from Valentine’s Days 💖 so spread the word and spread the love.

Blessing you ⭕️
