I didn’t get to the scan; it was postponed at the last
moment. I’m on my way there tomorrow. Results to come next Tuesday 22nd.
So, what have I been up to? I had a weekend in UK; travelled over there to see
the British Speedway Grand Prix at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. I always stay
with our son, John and we go together. It’s nice in that it gives me a lot of
time to be with my boy; something most fathers treasure. I certainly do. The
speedway was good too. The trip back from Bournemouth with RyanAir was one of
the best I’ve had. My flight was the only one out which meant the airport was
virtually empty. We left on time and landed ten minutes earlier than expected.
Before leaving UK I took the family out for a pub lunch. Nice one just outside
Bournemouth airport called The Curlew.

On the book front, I have a promotion going today for THE DEVIL’S TRINITY. It will be free. At the
moment it is on www.digitalbookday.com as well as Amazon. I’ll leave it on free
for a while; see how it goes. I haven’t sold any of that title for several
weeks, so it needs a bit of a lift.

I have also started a new website through the web builder
WIX. I have been trying to build a new site with the help of our son, Terry,
but it got too complicated in the end. Eventually we decided to go with WIX.
Within ninety minutes I had almost completed the website and couldn’t believe
how simple it was. I will be going public with it later this week, once I have
played around with it.

My next step in the book game is to load THE EAGLE’S
COVENANT on to Smashwords, and then Amazon. I have had the book on Amazon for a
couple of years now, but it has always been under the publisher’s name of
Acclaimed Books. I will be listed as the publisher, which gives me hands on control
of price changes and promotions etc. Eventually I will have all my titles with
me as publisher. If I can do this right, have a manageable website and a good
marketing strategy (I live in hopes), then I should be able to enjoy the kind
of sales figures I see with other, more successful writers. Wish me luck!
