Goodbye Amazon!
I've removed all three of my books from Amazon KDP because no one is finding them and no one is reading them.
Most of us aspiring authors dream of being swept up by a trad publisher, paid a mint in royalties and be left to get on with writing more wonderful stuff. How wonderful that some dreams do come true, but how sad that's for less than 1% of them. If nothing else, I'd really love for my book t Read more of this blog post »

| I rated Book 1 as 3-star, and I am pleased to report that I got on better with this, the second instalment. Everything kicks off; hurray! You can forgive Book 1 somewhat if you treat it as laying the groundwork, a bit like 'The Fellowship of the Ring ...more | |

For historical i would like to suggest something a bit different and say an author called MK Hume, who has written a trilogy about the legends of King Arthur and who currently has 2 books published on a series about Merlin.
Her books are fantastic adult historical fiction and really detailed and well-reserched, so i would highly recomend them. Chick-lit i would recomend Mandy Baggot
or Carol E Wyer
General fiction i would recomend
and
If you would like me to suggest any other titles for different genres then i can, as i do read a variety of diverse fictional works. x

Likewise Lucinda. I'm in a book club and it will soon be my turn to propose a book to read. Can you suggest a couple of great books, any genre?
Dear Phil,I would like to thank you not only for the friendship request, but for bringing to my attention your novel 'New Fire' which looks and sounds most interesting. I am a huge fan of historical, science-fiction and fantasy genres hence i look forward to many future book discussions with you and hope that i do have the oportuntiy of reading your work.
Kind Regards
Lucinda x
