After The Holiday...

Literally, because yesterday, as the grey sky, incessant rain and numbing traffic would confirm, was a public holiday. Today, sun busting the flags, is not. A longer holiday has ended, however because this is the day I put the green eyeshade on, sharpen the pencils, and begin work on the second book in The Afternet series. Sales continue to dribble along, reviewers continue to effuse, so in anticipation of the spike to come it seems appropriate to kick on with the long awaited etc etc.
Coincidentally, the daughter has nearly finished her exams, so perhaps the diminishing levels of angst in the house will help to find the necessary humour. I have applied to FIFA for the opportunity to host the world cup in my back yard should Qatar prove a) too hot, which clearly they hadn't thought about, or b) to have 'bought' the event, to quote FIFA officials. I'll do it for steady sales of my book in the CONCACAF region and some of those handbags for my wife.

Into the ether

Here's something. Visited Portugal to play golf and underwent a Damascene conversion at the hands of one Suzy Turner, a resident of Lagos and an Indie writer (her book 'Raven' is available from Amazon; more later no doubt). Suzy was clearly askance at the idea that I had published The Afternet and then basically waited for people to find  out about it somehow. Hence this blog which will follow the progress of my own (and others') activities to promote their e-books to a wider audience, look at new e-books as they become available, and doubtless at many points descend into the afterworld of trivia.
