Advice from the Inept: Three things to remember about editing…

Blimey! I’m amazed at how much stuff crops up that you don’t anticipate. Here’s another blindingly obvious thing that didn’t occur to gumbee author here (Doh!).

Cheap? Well… Yes. But tasty.

I’m very excited, UK Daily Cheap Reads are going to be featuring Few Are Chosen tomorrow from 8 am and in the us from 10 am central US time. This is quite a big site to be on, hence the excitement.

More interview…

Here’s a blog choc full of far more interesting things but there is an author interview with me here. Do go over and check it out. Thank you, Kipp Poe for letting me witter away on your blog!

S’cuse the Pause

Normal service will be resumed, as usual, when I’ve finished having shingles. 

Interview…

I’m very chipper today because I’ve had an interview published. Thank you Debra L. Martin for interviewing me for Two Ends of the Pen.

Reviews of Few Are Chosen

I am always delighted when I find anyone prepared to wade through Few Are Chosen, let alone people prepared to write down what they think. 

Progress on Konrath Lite. E‑Book Pricing 3

After 10 days, I caved in and dropped the price to £1 in the UK and $2 in the US and guess what. IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE! Yep, that’s right. None, nada, zilch.

First thoughts on Konrath Lite.

Well, I’ve posted in the odd thread on Kindleboards, mobileread and Amazon UK and US fora. The result is an explosion — well it’s more of a phffft really but it’s an explosion in relative terms — of downlads, from here, of Few Are Chosen.

Pricing my e‑book again

I’m going to try something different. I’m going to give the pdf version of my novel away free. This isn’t a new idea, the theory is expounded by Joe Konrath in his Newbie’s Guide to Publishing and later, he published his results. He sold a lot of e‑books. Let’s see if it works for me.
