Books by Christopher Fielden

I wrote my first book, Wicked Game, after undertaking a correspondence writing course. Although I failed to convince an agent or publisher of the book’s worth, I self published on Lulu because I was proud of it. This allowed me to regard the project as complete, enabling me to move on with other work. It might not be worthy of the Pulitzer Prize, but the majority of people who have read it (a mix of friends, family and people I don’t know) have given me very positive feedback. It’s provided an excellent foundation for my future work as I learnt so much from writing and sharing it.

If you would like to, you can buy a copy from Lulu. I have found Lulu an excellent way to self publish a book. The site is straight forward to use and their help sections are well laid out and informative. If people want to buy a physical book, rather than a PDF or iTunes download, Lulu will print up a single copy and post it to them. This is so much better than the old self-publishing methods, where you were required to buy 3,000 copies, selling 10 of them and then being forced to use the remaining 2,990 to insulate your home by storing them in your loft.

To date, I have published one book entitled Wicked Game. I am currently working on two more novels entitled Full Metal Racket and Beneath This Wonderful World. And, when I have enough short stories published, I intend to release an anthology of them along with all the details of the short story competitions they won or were shortlisted in, much like I have on the site.

If you do buy and read my work, I am always happy to receive feedback and constructive criticism.
