The first book of the Lambeth Croak Series has been on sale at Amazon US and Amazon UK. So far it's sold 13 copies in the UK but none so far in the US. I've not really done much at all in the way of promotion, which was one reason I took the advice of someone else to set up this blog, which I hope will last with the series.
Been working on the second book as it is NaNoWriMo month, although I'm a bit behind the curve right now I hope to have caught up by weekend. I've got an ending for the book now, which I didn't have when I started, but still not sure exactly how it's going to play out - so watch this space for that one. I don't know about anyone else, but even though I've got the first book up on Amazon, it still doesn't feel as if I am a published author.
I was lucky in that I had two excellent Beta readers who picked up style and structure issues as well as a few typos - virtually unavoidable when you start changing scenes and chapters around. I'd really like to know how you feel about Kindle publishing and whether you feel like a legitimate author - am I just being daft and pernickety? I have to thank my clever son Alan for the cover design of the book as that is supposed to go a long way with potential buyers. I've put it on at what is regarded as the sweet spot price of $2.99 as it is a full length novel - 78,000 + words. I'll be updating regularly here so keep a look out for the next post.
