05/12/24 - History of SEGA Book Cover Reveal
It's been a little while since I last posted an update on the History of SEGA, but rest assured things have been going well. I recently received a PDF proof of what the interior layout of the book will look like, and I'm pretty happy with it. There are a few things that need tweaking, but overall I'm very happy with it.
The book is set to release in September 2025, with pre-orders opening in June of that year. Obviously, I'll share the links to this as and when.
For the moment though, I can share an image of what will be the book's front cover. As I mentioned before, it's pretty cool! You can see it on the main History of SEGA page.
Also, I'm now on BlueSky. Feel free to come on over and say hello.

My editor today sent me a mock up for the History of SEGA book cover. It looks amazing! I can't share it just yet as it needs a few more tweaks, but I'm very happy with it. I'll of course post an image as soon as I can.

Finally, the book's manuscript is complete, all the image permissions have been sorted and it's all been submitted to the publisher! Now it's just a matter of waiting for their feed back, fixing and issues, and getting it ready for printing.

15/07/24 - History of SEGA Update
It's been a little while since I posted an update on the status of the History of SEGA book I'm working on, so I thought it was about time I did so. As of right now, all is going well. The final draft is all but done, it just needs a few minor tweaks, and I'm in the process of sourcing images for inclusion in the book. The issue of images has been something of a steep learning curve as I've had to get my head around copyright and usage rules and so on, but I've only a few more to source to hit the 100-images sweet spot.
I have a bit of a worry regarding the word count as I did not realise until relatively recently that my 60,000 word allowance includes the main text and the intro, index, bibliography and acknowledgements. The main text itself is over 60,000, so there may need to be some cuts made (I've already made a few). Once all of that is sorted it's off to the publisher to ensure they are happy with it.
It'll still be a few months before everything is set in stone, but of course I shall keep you posted.

29/06/24 - Another Website Refresh
I've decided to move the site back to GoogleSites. Yes, it's not as flexable as WordPress, but it's much cheaper to run. Seeing as social media is where most people gain their information from now anyway, and the majority of my stuff is on Substack, there did not seem much point in having a hugely extensive site, espeically one I was struggling to afford. Maybe that will change in the future, but for now I think this will work nicely.
