To Sell or not to sell?


It’s been quite a week, one way or another. It began with my birthday, which is always nice and seemed to get busier from then on. I’ve had little opportunity to write and find myself wondering if and when it will happen. The new jacket design for my novel, HELL’S GATE was submitted to Amazon and hopefully this will help to draw potential readers to the book. I have tried to attract book reviewers for my latest Amazon publication, SHDOW OF THE WOLF, but it is proving to be extremely difficult. I have asked for book reviewers on about four different websites, and have only received one response. Ironically it was for a print copy of the book, rather than the .mobi (Kindle) or PDF files I offered. The book is on its way to a young lady in America, and I hope she enjoys it enough to put a review on Amazon and other places.
Last Sunday afternoon a couple of people turned up at our gate and asked for details about the house (it’s for sale). We invited them in and they stayed for about an hour. They came back yesterday and this time stayed for three hours. They have shown a keen interest in the villa, but have two others they also like. They left us with a promise ringing in our ears that they wouldn’t keep us waiting. If they like our house and make an offer we are happy to accept, we could be back in UK in a couple of months. No doubt my next blog entry will tell all. I’m doing some odd jobs around the house: jobs that have been needed and one of those was to empty the swimming pool. A pool company will be coming in the week after next to overhaul the pool and bring it up to tip-top condition.
I have another busy week coming up, and one of the projects I have is to prepare a sermon for April 7th at my local, Christian Fellowship, TCF (www.tcf-spain.org). Once I have that out of the way I can get on with other d-i-y jobs and, hopefully, get back to my writing.
So, as life keeps me busy and there’s always something to do, I will keep on living in the hope that I can put another novel on Amazon. I’m contracted to my publisher for my next, full length MS of course, but I still have one more title to which I have the e-book rights, and I expect to be releasing that later this year. The title is THE EAGLE’S COVENANT, and it will be published in paperback by Harlequin Books. I may wait until nearer Harlequin’s publishing date before releasing the e-book. Wish me luck!
