Goodreads has approved my giveaway of 10 signed copies of Driven to Distraction (goes live at midnight on 19th June and runs until 19th July).
I've just had a check of how the ad will look. To the right of the screen it has my photo and says "Giveaway by Stuart - 207 books & 4 friends." That doesn't make me sound sad and lonely at all, does it! Why not add insult to injury and add a quote saying, "I consider my books my friends."
In all seriousness most of my friends don't have a Goodreads login. Before I published my book, neither did I. I don't really know why that is as I've found it a great website to use to see what others are reading and what they thought of books I've already read.
Perhaps it's because in my previous career as an accountant I was looking at a computer screen all day everyday and wanted a break when I finally got home of an evening.
As a writer I guess I still do spend a lot of time in front of the computer but it's a job I absolutely love doing. And working for myself I can just login to Goodreads and Amazon when I want, not just when the boss is away from her desk.
Mind you I need to start rationing the time I spend on this site, checking to see if anyone has liked my page, as I still have a first draft of book 3 to finish before starting final edits of book 2.
So, back to it then. Think of something funny...
