Today the third eBook in my Magic of Black & White series goes on sale on Craft and Vision. It’s called The Magic of Black & White: Part III – Nine Photos and picks up where the second eBook (The Magic of Black & White: Part II – Craft) left off.

I’m pleased to announce that the Craft & Vision website has been updated this week. It’s a major redesign – the website is easier to navigate around and more exciting to use. There are several new features to play with, and the one I like best is that you can leave reviews on the eBooks that you’ve read. This is good for me because I like to read people’s opinions on the eBooks that I’ve written (and the other eBooks too).

It doesn’t get better than that – if I was allowed I would have entered already!
