FREE WISHES

READ ALL ABOUT IT!

I have bowed to public non-demand and initiated a free promotion. One of my novels - Trouble Cross - is going to be available to download at nil pence on Friday 2nd August and Saturday 3rd August. What more can you wish for?

All I ask in return is that you spread the word - after the free promotion is over, of course - and a nice review on Amazon if you are so inclined.

For those of you interested, the print versions have taken a step further with the publisher now in possession of the full manuscripts.

In other news, animal lovers have been asking for consideration for our furry friends. In this weather the last thing you want to be is a little otter.

MEDIUM TIME NO BLOG

Well, I was getting fed up of saying buy my books all the time.

Anyway, there is now the real possibility that I might get them in print. A colleague pointed me in the direction of a publisher who published his friends book. I emailed them and told them to check out my books on Amazon and they quickly emailed back to say they had and could I send them a submission. Now any writer who has tried to sell a manuscript knows the hard slog trying to get a literary agent interested and now I had a bite from an actual publisher. I sent of the regulatory 3 chapters and synopsis on both books and now they have asked to see the full manuscripts.

But let's not count chickens before the rooster has seen the hen. Fingers crossed though.

In other news.....er no, sorry, there is no other news. Roll on football season.

For those of you with absolutely no interest in my battles with the Express Sunday puzzle page I smashed the 30% barrier today - 26% i.e 33 minutes to do 4 puzzles with a combined target of 128 minutes. Just wish I had some challengers.

Now as more than one person in the office think I look like Robin Williams - whether they mean Mork or Mrs Doubtfire I am not sure - I will sign off in his customary fashion.

Nanu nanu.
