Billy’s comments from the Indie Authors Beating their own drums group.

I've set a record. This month I've made more money from book videos than selling my books - I can afford a cup of coffee.
I'm working up to a bottle of Cava. In twenty years maybe I'll have earned enough from my titles for a bottle of Bollinger.
A glass half-full.

I’ve only had one experience with a literary agent. He wasn’t unkind, although his reply left me perplexed. He pulled the book on one subject, apparently, my analysis of DNA results. It's the Crippen case, 1910. He buried his filleted wife, Cora Crippen, in his cellar. The Royal London Hospital retains seven stored samples of her skin between slides.
I just don’t know if I was supposed to present my case that the samples were most likely contaminated.
I have decided not to do that. Instead, on my next approach to an agent, strongly present my case.
It’s all a learning curve ...
