Welcome to C.J. Darke - Author

Hi, I'm C.J - U.K.

I've been writing for 17, perhaps 18 years now, and I've only recently begun self-publishing my works. The titles are shown below.

 

Texas Scorned (Psychological Thriller / Horror

 

The Edge Series:

Book 1: 

 

and I'm from a small island

 

They say everybody has a novel in them, right?

     Although it's probably true, it isn't easy. Sure, you can write, write, and write a little more, but what's the point if the story is flatter than a pancake? Many authors claim there are rules to follow, but I disagree. These are your sentences. Your paragraphs. It's your story. Hell, just write and enjoy it.

     Will I ever write a bestseller? I very much doubt it, but I love to create. The day I wake up and believe it's all about money is the day I stop writing. Money's important. We would struggle to get by without it, but it isn't the be-all and end-all. I will put my books out there. It's the world's prerogative if it chooses to ignore them. 

     What is the most important thing for a writer? There are many, but I believe the most important qualities you need are persistence and dedication. That book won't write itself. The beast inside can't be released until you've removed those shackles.
