If you bought one of my books, I'm writing to say thank you. I hope it met your expectations and you enjoyed it. If you've been following our progress through this site, you'll know that the website started out as a hobby and the same happened with writing. The learning curve for self publishing was steep and I learned what to do through LinkedIn groups and blogs by other independent authors. The book sales are bringing in beer money, but I'm not spending it down the pub. I'm using it to fund my next book, 'Mike, The Motorhome and Me'. This is an anthology of our best anecdotal experiences gathered over the past 12 years. The highs and lows of the three of us in our relationship. I'm about half way through the second rewrite and aiming to publish later this year. The funds from current book sales will go towards editing which is expensive.
I was delighted to read the sales reports from all channels. There have even been purchases of the paperback through bricks and mortar bookshops in America! I'm not writing this as an ego boost but I found it satisfying because it shows that the system works, and I really do have worldwide distribution. Apple book sales in Australia too.
If you bought a copy, please could you write a review on your retailers website? It doesn't need to be War and Peace, just a few words. It is possible for me to pay for reviews but I equate this scurrilous behaviour to cheating so I won't do it. Taking the honest approach means there aren't many reviews and they really do help with sales, so if you have a couple of minutes to spare I'd appreciate it.
Well, that's the begging over with, we've been at Silves a fortnight and we only intended staying a couple of nights. We've had a lovely break and have been on the Aire just outside town. Yesterday morning, Antoine, the caretaker came round for our daily dues and asked for €7. the price had gone up by 50 cents overnight and no one had warned us. Obviously it's not about the money, however Mike did point out that we should have been informed. Apparently the electricity bill had come in and it was an eye watering shocker. Our sympathies to the bill payer. We were starting to get itchy feet and so we'll be off tomorrow. Think we'll go to a nice beachfront location. This means we'll be off line for a few days, so that's all for now, best wishes, Ali and Mike xxx
