Can I say something straightaway. Over the last few months, I have been inundated with offers from bookclubs and businesses offering amazing opportunities for sales and reviews for my books, so I would like to make something clear from the outset.

I do not pay for reviews or take part in any of these review exchanges. Having said that, if any of these organisations, businesses, readers’ clubs, coffee clubs, etc, really want to support me, then they should at least buy one of my books from Amazon, read it, and then leave an honest review.

Here is the link to my author page on amazon.com: Author Page for Philip Catshill. The page will open under a new tab. My latest book is The Mad Days of March, but my favourite is Penny for Them. Writing this book was challenge in itself as the story is told in the first person by a twenty-year-old woman! Penny for Them has received a B.R.A.G. medallion for quality independent fiction.

I submit my books for evaluation by IndieBRAG which does involve a fee. The B.R.A.G. Medallion on the cover of my books serves as a certification trademark, owned and administered exclusively by indieBRAG, LLC, to distinguish outstanding self-published works.

I don’t have that many reviews on my books, but whether it is 5 star, 1 star, or anything in between, with the exception of any review from IndieBrag, I can honestly say that every review is from a genuine purchaser of my books. In 2013, I wrote an article for Authors Helping Authors

Thank you for visiting my website.

I hope you enjoy your visit! Let’s see how I can entertain you while you are here.

I constructed my previous philipcatshill.com website in Serif Webplus8, and to be honest, I thought it a tragedy when Serif stopped supporting this product and no longer offered the webspace. I transfered the site to another provider, but after 12 months, that provider also closed its doors to webspace. So I transfered to Bluehost, but I have to admit, I have neglected my site. As I am nearing the end of my three year contract with Bluehost, I took a look at my sad and dismal site and decided to revamp it.

Okay, so what happens now?

Let’s add a picture! This is one of my oil paintings and its title is At the Barre.

What else?

Well, I am a writer, so I’ve added a few short stories. I’ve also been known to create a bit of poetry. I’ll spare your eardrums and won’t add my violin playing, my keyboard practice or the piano tunes! The “about” page … well, I’m told my life story is inspirational. Perhaps I should let you make up your own mind about that!
