My book is being read

This week I received an email concerning my recent book submission - and oh what joy - there wasn't a single negative word in it! OK so it was just to tell me that my manuscript has arrived and will be read soon, but that in itself is a welcome courtesy.

My friends at www.independentauthors.co.uk (Who promote and sell self-published books - as well as providing a forum for self-publishers to share ideas and support one another) have sold another copy of The Monster Under the Bed for me, so sales are plodding along - hopefully they'll pick up for Christmas soon.

To order a copy of The Monster Under the Bed direct from me (price £4.50 inc.p&p in the UK) email:

Rejections are trickling in...

The rejections are trickling in from publishers saying that they're only accepting work through agents, and I'm still waiting to hear from an agent. I've got my first Christmas fair of the season booked, to sell 'The Monster Under The Bed', so that will bring in a bit more money for if I self-publish again. I remain optimistic.
