As a new author, with my debut novel just published I must admit to feeling a bit nervous at the moment.
Locked away writing in my shed (or my idiot bunker as I like to call it) is one of my great pleasures. But now my first book is published, I feel like I've been dropped naked into the middle of Piccadilly Circus at rush hour!
Even though I've spent the previous thirty odd years working in advertising, trying to figure out the best way to get exposure and market the book has me feeling like an injured seal wearing a t-shirt with 'tasty' written on it, being circled by a school of hungry killer whales.
I've already developed some form of 'digital tourettes' regarding the 'sales report' button on my Amazon dashboard, which I seem to be checking every few minutes with one eye covered.
It would seem that writing a first novel is just the tip of the iceberg?
