Apart from a promotion on
Jill Edmonson’s website for THE DEVIL’S TRINITY, I have done very little
towards my next novel, although I have pushed on with another project which I
will finish first. I keep
an eye on my book sales through NovelRank and hope to see some improvement in
that title’s results. I must say though, that Jill Edmonson is pretty good when
it comes to doing what she says by tweeting often about promotions submitted by
authors. It costs nothing. I always retweet whenever I see her tweets about my
work. You can look Jill up at http://www.jilledmondson.com

Looking back through the
week, much of it is to do with our intended move from Spain and my ongoing
treatment for Lymphoma. We began our search for an apartment in the village and
were shown round what was described as a ‘penthouse’ with a solarium. It was
very disappointing: I believe the person who described it as such should take
up a job as an advertising copywriter. We were offered good terms in view of
the fact that we couldn’t give a firm end-date, but after a day or so we
decided not to take it on. We will be looking at a ‘bungalow’ on Wednesday. One
can only hope that the description is on a more prosaic level.

Sunday was our fifty
fourth wedding anniversary. We had a lovely meal with friends at a local
restaurant. We also enjoyed Skype and telephone calls with our family. Pat
received a huge bouquet of flowers from Australia for her birthday which was
five days earlier.

This morning I had a
Cat-scan, and tomorrow I should find out what progress is being made before
beginning my fourth chemo session.
Cat-scan, and tomorrow I should find out what progress is being made before

Today the PLR results
were made available. I was delighted to see that I had achieved loans of just
over 3700. I look at figures like individual readers going into the library and
looking for a Michael Parker novel, knowing they liked what they’ve read and
want more. A large percentage of those figures were for the large print
editions of my books. Thank goodness for pensioners (I assume it’s mainly
pensioners who need large print editions). It’s a pity the UK government have
forced councils to close a lot of libraries, otherwise I could have hoped for
more loans. The highest figure I achieved, which was about three years ago was
just over 6000. The good news is that the government has given the go-ahead for
audio and e-book loans. This could lift my PLR returns. Let’s hope so. Wish me
luck.
