Blimey O'Reilly, I've got a book - well a novella - on Amazon!

Excuse me a moment while I ...



* deep breath* Okay, that's enough of that. Now for the serious business of promoting it while not pissing off my pals. This writing malarkey isn't all simply starving in a garret, is it?

They did an excellent job on the cover, I think. They were determined that there should be man boobs on there but after a little negotiation they are a lot less in your face. :)

90% starving in a garret, 9,99% anxiety, 0.01% sheer bliss. Congratulations! It is all real :D

I love that icon. :) that looks like a pretty accurate break down to me. But 99.9% is worth it for that sublime moment when you get that last little idea that means the whole thing should not only make sense but have that edge to it where a reader might have a few edge of the seat moments. You can't beat that!

Fan blooming tastic. Got an author page yet? (Dead easy to set up and link your LJ to.)

:D *hugs* thank you lady.

No I don't have an author page [and I don't have a website either as of last night when some haliwr fixed it so that one gets directed to a porn site! grrrr I've parked the domain until I can get it clean]. I'll have to organise that. Thanks for the advice and encouragement.

In the immortal words of Eric Morecambe, "tell me who it was and I'll have them done over".

Need any help in re Amazon, shout.

You're a star! I just hope it's not too milk and water for you. Filled with red-hot m/m action it isn't. :)

It was really good! I've only one criticism.............it wasn't long enough!! In a very short time I knew the characters and liked them, will you be writing any more about Philon? You also encapsulated the stonemasons' and their work in your short story and left me wanting more!

Yay! I've downloaded the sample to remind me to buy it next time I have a spree to stock up my Kindle. And I've ticked your tags. (Oo-er, missus.)

It's so cool seeing your book on Amazon. Amazon isn't the be-all and end-all of ebook retailers - I make as many sales at Are and Fictionwise, but Amazon has its magic. Maybe just the name recognition. If you say to a "norm", that you have a book up for sale on Fictionwise they'll be like "What's that then?" You say Amazon - whole different kettle of fish! :D

*hugs* thank you. I understand that tag ticking is a 'good thing'.

I'll do a giveaway over the weekend and will make sure i put your name in the hat. :)

Thanks! I don't much about that tag malarky, but I know "agreeing" with them is a good thing. Reminded me to go get them onto Higher Ground too.
