Introduction

Rebirth is a horror/thriller novel that I wrote between August 2005 and August 2006. I was inspired to write it while lying by the pool on holiday, reading a novel by a well-known thriller writer and not really enjoying it. I thought to myself: “I could do this type of thing - it can't be that hard.”

Those who know me know that I’m a big fan of the movies so it won’t be a surprise that the idea for Rebirth came from an idea for a movie I had. A few years ago I took a course in Film Studies at night school and one of the assignments was to draft storyboards for an original film. The storyboards I drew were the opening to the film (chapters 2 and 3 in the novel) and from that point I kept putting ideas down until I had a plan from beginning to end.

After finishing the aforementioned novel, I started on my first opus and kept plugging away at it every now and again until it was in a state that felt like I could let people read it. A few friends read it and seemed to like it so I sent it off to some publishers and agents but I quickly tired of waiting for the standard "thanks but no thanks" letter so I’ve decided to serialise it in this blog. That way I can get on with writing the follow-up (maybe a little spoiler there?). If anyone chooses to read it, great. If not, at least it’s online so I can point anyone towards it who is unfortunate enough to ask me what I do in my spare time.

I hope you enjoy reading Rebirth and comments (both positive and constructively negative) are always welcome

PS I’m not totally sure how often I’ll update the blog. I’ll probably start at 2 or 3 updates a week but we’ll see how it goes. If you sign up with one of the subscription options at the top left of the page, you'll be notified when the next chapter goes online.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.

I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on several websites for about a year and am concerned
about switching to another platform. I have heard
fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way
I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!
