PS My eyes are blurry too. I spent all afternoon trying to set up a facebook page for the book (I was told I ought to). I created a weird mess instead so I've deleted it, I hope. sad

Well, done coping with Smashwords. I know it a bit as my son had a book there once. I don't think I am competent enough to put it on kindle myself. I only get royalties but at least the publisher pays me and they may eventually bring it out as a paperback. What is your book called?

Hi there - I can't find the thread we talked on a few days ago. This is such a good idea!
Might in fact use it myself....
I posted "why did you not put it on kindle yourself" I remembered the answer as I am, this morning, wrestling with trying to get mine onto a US site called Smashwords - where you can offer books for other platforms besides Kindle.
(it is there in the health section but a few bits of formatting are not quite perfect)
Eyes now blurry.
Need to work out why my linked chapter headings etc don't all work. Well worth getting someone else to do it I think. But I have started now I will finish.
But a walk is called for to rest they eyes.

It has such a catchy title too. It's bound to intrigue browsers looking for a good read.

I expect they will. Loads of Gransnetters will buy it. smile Good!

It's selling quite well, today anyway blush so I'm hoping Age Uk will get more than a couple of quid out of it.

Okay. I'll try again.

Hello. I have recently had an e-book published (traditional publisher) and it is available on Amazon for kindles.
I wrote it to cheer myself up after a grim few years trying to look after parents and friends in their nineties and either ill or with dementia.
I am donating the first year of royalties to Age Uk so if you want something silly for Christmas please have a look!

Fairy Tales for the Mature. 'Why is it always the young and glamorous - the beautiful princesses and handsome princes - who dominate fairy tales? These fun, adult, fairy tales are written from the viewpoint of the older characters, for example Red Riding Hoods grandma, the matron of Rapunzel's boarding school and the witch in Hansel and Gretel.
Hope this link works. I'm a bit incompetent.
