The begging bowl is out

OK- this is how it works. Publishers go looking through this site for promising material- so, to be noticed I need downloads!

But don't panic- just downloading the FREE chapter counts and gets me noticed.

SO do me a BIG favour and download the freebee here.

No Paypal, no credit cards!

Come on- I get 250 odd hits on this site each day. If all of you click the free download ONCE you will make a huge impact!

Update:
Well done! 63 downloads of the free chapter and four sales- a most promising start.

Please drop in and click if you haven't done so already and you will have my gratitude!

I need more!

I am insatiable!

Please Sir- can I have some more!

The way of the future

An unsolicited plug for Bookhabit- a NZ website.

Brought a novel lately? They ain't cheap, even second-hand.

It's not like the days of my youth, when I would go into town on a Friday and come home with a bag full of books.

I still have many of them- I admit to just plain having a thing for paper copy- I prefer reading from real books.

But along the way I brought a lot of lemons.

Now there are ebooks- for only a couple of dollars through PayPal, I can try more new material than otherwise.

Hell, the US $2.50 would hardly pay for the petrol to get to a library!

And there is the matter of Bookhabit giving wannabes like myself a chance!- Which is very much appreciated. I can decide if it is worth paying (about a grand) to get a professional print run done.

Think of buying a download as a tip for the years of entertainment here ;-)

No Taxpayers were harmed

Absolutely no taxpayers money went into my book. (nor anybody other than myself, for that matter)

No grants private or public were recieved or applied for.

Actually, I was quite pissed that taxpayer funds could be used for this purpose!

I will sink or swim on my own, thank you!

(probably the former)
