It's actually there.

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?

Doesn't it look good! Squeee!

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

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

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

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!

**squees**

Hurrah for your book on Amazon!

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

:D

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

I bought it on USA Amazon.

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

Oh bless you! I hope you enjoy it!

[jessie-lansdel.livejournal.com]

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Indeed luvvy. I am chuffed to bits for you. (((congratulatory hugs)))

[jessie-lansdel.livejournal.com]

Ps, I just bought it.

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

*Huggles* thank you so much. You're next you know!

[charliecochrane.livejournal.com]

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

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

: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.

*hugs*

[suemont.livejournal.com]

hooray!!!!! Congratulations :-) You'll never piss off your pals - btw, writing means starving in a garret AND doing a helluva lot of work. Enjoy it XXXXX

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I've promised myself I won't post about Bees more than once a day. And NOW back to pirates!

[surexit.livejournal.com]

I've just bought it, am looking forward to reading. ♥

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

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. :)

[britalone.livejournal.com]

Yay! I just bought it for my Kindle, I'm looking forward to reading it! Well done! x

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. *hugs* I hope you enjoy it.

[britalone.livejournal.com]

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!

[beckyblack]

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

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

*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. :)

[beckyblack]

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.

[irish-horse.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!!!! That's marvelous!!!

And now I have an excuse to buy a Kindle! :D

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

I'll be doing a giveaway over the weekend :)

I haven't got a Kindle but I read Kindle books on my PC.

[irish-horse.livejournal.com]

Woot! I think I know what my next Amazon purchase will be... ;)

[stevie-carroll.livejournal.com]

Hurrah!

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

Thank you swee'pea! Oh I do miss the Brigadier!

[wulfila.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D

[kayberrisford.livejournal.com]

OMG massive congrats!! It looks amazing -- I'm off to buy now, and really can't wait to read :D :D :D

(PS - may I interview you for my website sometime soon? No worries if not, I'm guessing you're pretty busy right now :D)

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! And brilliant. I'd be delighted to be on your blog. I'm at elingregory@gmail.com if you want to chat about it.

[kayberrisford.livejournal.com]

Yay! Will be in touch -- thank you so much :D

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

[elin-gregory.livejournal.com]

Thank you :D and that's another utterly lovely icon! You do take a nice piccy.

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Why thank you m'dear :) That's sunset on Eriskay at about eleven o'clock at night!
