Welcome To 'Writings From A Small Island'
Hello and thank you for visiting this website. My name is Ian Yates and I live on the Greek island of Crete where I enjoy my passion for writing.
I created this site to enable me to share my pieces and hopefully receive some constructive feedback.
This is where I need your help. Please take the time to look through the site and if you wish to you can leave a comment or criticism.
1000 WORDS A DAY CHALLENGE
I decided in mid September 2013 to see if I had it in me to write a novel in under two months. I set myself a challenge to write 1000 words a day until it is completed. You can see the ongoing process under the heading above 'NOVEL EXCERPTS' and follow the 'One Piece At A Time' link.
All the pictures on this website are from the area near we live.
If you like my work then perhaps you would consider buying one of my books.
'Woolwich Shines' is an anthology of poems written in response to the terrible events of May 22 2013 that befell Drummer Lee Rigby outside Woolwich Barracks. Proceeds from this book are going to his regiments charity and Help for Heroes.
'The Fighters' is a collection of poems written in collaboration with Linda Wilks. The proceeds from this book are going towards Cancer Research.
Both of these books are available from Amazon and are also available for your e-reader device through the Kindle store.
'One Piece At A Time' is the result of my 1000 word a day challenge. Now available at Amazon and all good book retailers.
'One Day At A Time' is the exciting and fast paced second novel featuring DCI Carter of the Homicide and Series Crimes Unit of the London Metropolitan Police Force.
