Alluring Tales

I haven’t convinced myself, despite the support of my friend from Seattle; that having a website will increase my eBook sales, to look on the positive, they can only be slightly worse.

The Game Changer

            PC Gamer After the year I have had, so far, I am calling it a day as a writer. My 15 years of struggle for recognition are over. From now on, you will rarely, if ever read my blog, as I won’t be using as I will be playing pc games, not writing stories. Not that anyone cares. The image is from the game, Dead Space which is an apt title for how I feel about my life as a writer.

Is it worth the Trouble to try to Regain the readers?

I had trouble maintaining the few readers the blog had in the past months, and now with not using it during the time I was fighting off a SCAM what I had, has dwindled further.

Poison

One Twitter contact, who turned out to be part of a scam ruined my blog figures this week. I spent so much time chatting to her, I had no time to blog, so my blogs withered, avoid Limor Regev. She and Gal Gadot are reasons my support for Israel is waning, both tried to scam me this year.

The IT World Problem

The main issue about publishing a book in the IT world is trust. The writer sends his manuscript to a publisher, if the publisher considers tit good enough to publish, but not without a name to sell the book, what is stopping the publisher from rejecting the MS from the writer, and giving it to another writer they represent?

Welkommen German Readers

News travels fast, today’s largest group of readers is in Germany. Again this blog goes where my others have not been read. I was stiationed in Germany for three years in the late 70’s, and traveled to Munich to see a European Cup Final which Nottingham Forrest won, the forst of the two under Brian Clough.

Does my Versatility as a Writer lessen the Quality of my work?

Years ago, a lady wrote that as I am a versatile writer, my writing lacked depth, few of the people I knew at the time agreed with her.I view my versatility as a blessing, it stops me being blocked as I write, as I am now.If a story hits a glitch, I can change genre, as easy as changing the washing.

Time for Education

When I began my book about India, I quickly came to the decision my knowledge of the country is lacking. I am not talking about the religion of the country, I knew there are several religions in India; I was thinking of the geography. This is because I was taught from maps used in the early 20th Century, before the partition which created Pakistan in 1948, and the war which created Bangladesh…

Stories with Nowhere to go

If I had the mental strength, I could attempt to delete all the old short story files from my old blog. The problem is I used it for over a decade, and most weeks I wrote a story.

Silence is Golden

It’s odd how we get accustomed to things so easily, for the last four months I was constantly pressured to take out plans for book promotion.Today has been the quitest day since mid-June, it is pleasing to be able to do something, and not hear the ping of a message on Twitter.

The Education Issue

One of the main issues I have with the standard of education these days is there are no standards to maintain.                                                                      What do I mean? I keep getting contacted by from people in Nigeria who think that because their local high scchool is classed as a university, and is required to issue a set number of passes to maintain its title, this…

I hope to add more to my Barnes & Noble pages

Over the years I have been writing, I have used several sites for my eBook sales, only Barnes & Noble have had any impact. Next year, I hope to add more of my work to the site.

Welcome to readers in Canada

Today I am welcoming readers in Canada, my adopted home, to the blog. It is strange how some blogs get more read in certain countries than others. I have good readership for both blogs I use in the USA.

Deja Vu

The irony of the title of my latest book has just hit me; the book is called Untold Truths, which describes aptly how I feel tonight; now I realise how close I was to being scammed. I am getting a sense of Deja Vu with the way things are going about my latest book, in June, I was approached on Twitter by Linda Lael Miller, who put me in touch with her agent, Lina Cruz, and then her profile…
