Royalties going to Age Uk

I don't know how to find out how many books have sold. It bounces around between 120,000ish (bad) and 20,000 ish in the Amazon best seller list. I think selling one book moves you about 20,000 places. All very odd.

Good idea. If it comes out as an actual book I'll be pushing for a cover that is actually funny and something to do with the book.

You could (should, even) ask the publishers to put in a list of contents and some hyperlinks to the various stories, which would be handy for those of us who would like to re-read and select and generally navigate around. If I can do it, I'm sure they can

Good luck with the edits. Someone has just told me that there's an I missing in my first story. Great! Still I've just been reading an old Georgette Heyer in Arrow books and that has typos.

My problems are compounded by the fact that I seem to have created several Amazon accounts with different emails over the years. I was just going to post a short review but it got huffy with me. But the reviews you do have are brilliant! And quite rightly so.
Thank you for downloading my book.
More news on my publishing efforts tomorrow hopefully, after I have cracked the glaring spelling error.

Great, thanks! Yes, my author profile shot of the America to start with just when I thought I'd done really well.
Your book is somewhere on my computer. I haven't managed to get it to my kindle yet but competent people will be coming after Christmas, so with any luck they'll sort me out. Sigh.

Just finished your book Broomsticks. It is very entertaining and witty. Also clever the way you have used the point of view of the old person in each story. Loved it. I will review it on Amazon soon.
In the meantime I am doing battle with said sight. Why on earth can they not link author profile to the book? Instead you have to log in country by country and do it.
To add insult my password will not work and it does not want to reset either. Grrr

Tweeting is definitely beyond me. It's all fun, though. The book is bouncing up and down on amazon like a penguin on a trampoline.

Ah, right

We aren't going to know unless we follow you.
First follow me. Post my twitter name into the search box at the top.
Then I get a message to say I have a new follower. Then I will follow you. And then I will get your tweets every time.

I tried a tweet. Did anything happen?

Fictional blog is fine as far as writing it goes but I don't know how to put anything anywhere, pictures and stuff. It's scary. Sigh. Maybe after Christmas I'll try and work it all out. Jess madge I'll come and tweet at you tomorrow

Oh well done broomsticks - I think a fictional blog sounds fun.
Twitter takes some getting used to. I am jess-madge if you want to follow me.

Fame!!!!!

Well done, broomsticks. You might be the next E L James if readers spread the news by word of mouth.

Oh, I seem to be selling books in America. Unexpected but all good.

It's an interesting blog. My grandson's just started big school too, very cute in the little uniform, complete with tie.
You lot (no offense intended - you guys?) gave me an idea. Maybe after the Christmas mayhem I could do a blog where my characters comment on events. Less boring than my comments on life would be.

I've just joined twitter, a (book type) friend invited me. Oh god! I can't find anything or anyone and haven't a clue what I'm doing. I'll 'follow' Cari if I can find her. And find out how ...

You need to read Cari's blog. And her tweets about the little one. Very good.

Not your fault broomsticks.

Just blame it on kids!!! (they're all the same!)

Not your fault, broomsticks. JO5 and I are the culprits, though why would Cari need an excuse for a large G&T?

Is the need for a big gin my fault? Should I just go away for a bit?
