Ebooks, print and audio books by Patty Jansen and art items.
I've just launched the next Bureau of Magic Abuse book!
After Dragon Soup and Whale Mail, we now have Fairy Bread, a story about kitchens, and ladies of ill repute, and industrial relations for fairies.
Get on board with Perrin's next adventure (click on image to go to the page):
Dragon Soup and its sequel, Whale Mail, were my 60th and 61st novels. I've been self-publishing since 2011 and have seen many ups and downs of the industry.
Enjoy Self-publishing is a big volume with all the tactics, strategies and tricks I've learned throughout that time.
Originally a series of four books, this updated version brings together many things that can help you achieve a successful writing and publishing career. The result is a big tome full of
The book covers all subjects, including how to bootstrap publishing, audio books, how to get reviews, how to promote your book without spending a lot and how to use your mailing list to sell books.

The Bureau of Magic Abuse is likely to return soon.
Just a quick note to say that Whale Mail, another story in the world of the Bureau of Magic Abuse, is now live on Kickstarter.
Like Dragon Soup, the book will be available in ebook, audio, paperback and hardcover, and like Dragon Soup, this will be an illustrated version that won't be available anywhere except via Kickstarter and later on my store.
Here is a quick description:
Picture this: you've somehow come into the possession of a dragon (long story--you can read the previous book if you really want to know, but it's kinda embarrassing, so you don't need to).
And you need to return that dragon to the place it came from.
You've tried putting it on a truck--but it destroyed the truck.
You've tried putting it on the train--but it destroyed the carriage.
Now you've put the dragon in a warehouse while you figure out what to do, but--
You guessed it: the dragon destroys the warehouse.
Tell me, why wouldn't you trick some rich merchant into lending you the only thing you haven't yet tried: a boat.
Trouble is, the merchant's price is that you return an old artefact to the whale kingdom along the way.
Whales are not nice. They're very big. They're cranky. And, here is a secret: they hate dragons.
They especially hate dragons.
It's been a while since the Dragon Soup campaign, but I have some news!
Fist of all, I have another fantasy project live right now. Mist & Dawn is the first book in a new series, the Starfire Trilogy. This is alternate world fantasy.
Ancient machines protect the continent of the three lands from deadly icefire. But who made these machines and why did this civilisation die out? Worse, why did they come back?
Secondly, I will return to the Bureau of Magic Abuse later this year for a second volume, called Whale Mail. This is not live yet, so there is nothing to follow, but it's coming.
