Literary Agents

Spent most of the day putting a proposal together to send to a Literary Agent, and they were very helpful with advice when asked.  However, the message was thanks but no thanks.  Trying not to be too despondent as they don’t give a reason why?   It would be useful to new authors to find out…

Living with the Consequences

At last I have got to grips with the overall concept of my follow-on book – this time I will be looking in more depth at the daily consequences those decisions I took had on my health, well-being, and daily living. Not sure how easy this will be, but the first few chapters are starting…

Update on follow-up book

With all good intentions I have found it difficult to get started with my second book.  I am sure many authors reach that same impasse after the initial enthusiasm and flush from getting their first book published.

Marketing Disappointments

After paying out to have 2 press releases for Life is Just a Bowl of Choices I can honestly say that this has been a waste of time and money. My first press release was mainly America, Canada and the rest of the world, of which maybe 5% actually bothered to open and read it,…

New Reader Reviews

Name: Alex Comment: I don’t usually read autobiographies but I was really captured by this one! I particularly enjoyed learning about the authors early life spent in Kenya. The book takes you through a number of life events and situations which are highly relatable, giving you the sense that we all carry similar burdens and triumphs…

Review from On-line Book Club – 3 out of 4 stars!

So nice to receive a review from someone who understands the concept and layout of Life is just a bowl of Choices.  Amazing that no matter how many times you edit there are still some typos!  The comments received from the On-line Book Club forum have equally given me inspiration to get on with writing…
