More for Angel Mountain fans
There are two other sites which have been set up for followers of the incorrigible heroine Martha Morgan and the 8 novels of the Angel Mountain Saga. One is a blog site on which I periodically post news:

and the other is a Facebook page (proving very popular indeed) devoted to Martha Morgan Country -- the newly designated area of literary tourism interest:

Literary Tourism in Wales
So popular have the 8 novels of the Angel Mountain Saga been (80,000 sold now, excluding Ebook versions) that we have started a new literary tourism initiative in the NE corner of Pembrokeshire -- which is where the novels are set. We have hired a model (Rhiannon James) to play the role of the heroine Mistress Martha Morgan, and a photographer (Steve Mallett) to create a wonderful portfolio of images. There is a new leaflet which is out and about in West Wales, and a new web site, here:
www.marthamorgan.co.uk
As a result of this, and with the support of the local authorities, we are seeing an upsurge of interest in the novels. We hope that in the future there will also be an upsurge of visitors to the area, with all sorts of benefits for the local economy.

Finding my way around
Now that I have been accepted as a bona fide author (with more than 80 books to my name!) I realize that I should have signed on long ago...... anyway, it's good to be on board. My latest novel, entitled "Acts of God", was published last month, and on 15th/16th December there will be a free promo on Amazon. It's the first free promo for this title, so I'm keen to see how things evolve in terms of downloads and reviews.....
It's a jungle out there, with multiple methods of bringing a book to the attention of potential readers -- and opportunities of spending hundreds of pounds or dollars in pursuit of the dream of fame and fortune. Where to draw the line? How much should one spend? There's a grim irony in the fact that a huge category in Kindle Ebook sales now appears to be devoted to Kindle Ebooks telling people how to sell lots of Kindle Ebooks. Hmmm.....
