My new book, ready to read!

[(RIP) PLANK]

I know a few of you were interested in and had a read of an early version of this, it is now on line on amazon; there is some 4x4 action in it (and quite a lot of sex):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=c+h+edwards+running+in+corridors&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ac+h+edwards+running+in+corridors&ajr=0http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=c+h+edwards+running+in+corridors&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ac+h+edwards+running+in+corridors&ajr=0

If anyone would care to have a look or download a sample I would be very grateful.

Or if anyone could suggest any ways of improving it's position in search results or generally: promoting it on the web? :thumb2

Good morning Mr Plank, just read the synopsit of your new book whilst having my morning cuppa,

Sound exciting and could imagine it as a tv drama, I don't know why but the 39 steps jumped into mind, maybe it was the chase across the penines and Cumbrian hills, be nice if it was so succesful. I will be reading it later if I can download to my tablet. Best wishes. Bri.


Ps now back to terrano preheaters which was why I came on line but was destracted by your new book,
But that's the internet for you. As a boy always dreamed of owning enclopeida britanica and here I have on my knee a slim piece of plastic which holds the key to more than the britanicas twenty volumes.

Good to see you've got it out there.

Did you go with Amazon's Kindle Developer program?

Best of luck. I'm five books in (and not with Amazon) and haven't made a penny yet :) But I am having a lot of fun.

It has ended up on amazon with the help of a couple of successful 'indie' friends who have done very well from the E book revolution. It did get a couple of offers from traditional publishers but the numbers and the friends persuaded me down this route. So far it has sold a few units here and in France, and it is less that 24 hours live, so I am pretty pleased. :thumb2

Pete, I held the same view! but having owned a kindle for a while I am converted, you can make the fonts bigger or smaller, re-orient the text. Instantly check word on the dictionary and the whole thing is light and you can hold it up for longer :augie Plus the pages are easier to turn :thumb2

but it should be available in paperback soon :thumb2

[briggie]

any update on the progress of your book mate ? , we like success stories :thumb2

[(RIP) PLANK]

It has risen to number 35 in the 'drama' charts - though I don't know the significance of that!

If you look at the button on the top right of the Amazon page that says 'buy now with one click' two lines below it says 'available on your PC' so you have no excuses :augie

[arcascomp]

You could always download it and print it off Briggie!

hmmmm still not a book to me mate , im old fashioned , might give it a go though

[arcascomp]

I have a Barnes and Noble nook from Yankie Doodle territory which is very similar to the kindle with a touch screen, I love the feel of books, but for travel it's great and also reading in bed as you don't have to turn pages!

Will need to try this one out Plank, hope you don't mind me converting the format from Kindle to a more standard ebook format - promise not to copy it anywhere!

Of course not mate! under normal circumstance I would sent it to you free but at the moment I really need to sell a few to make the rankings work :thumb2

[arcascomp]

No worries buying a book, we've all got to earn our crust somewhere.

Cheers, I do plan to make it available on other sites and in paperback. At the moment Amazon is doing the big sell on trying to get me to make it exclusive to them for a year - not sure which way to go :nenau

[96terrano]

[arcascomp]

Indeed he has and it sounds nae bad, have just click on the buy button, so that's you one step nearer to being a millionaire Plank!

In this 'The Gypsy Way' series I have written 5 so far and have another 2 in progress, the next one should be available soon! :thumb2

So if you like a bit of sex and drugs and 'rock-n-roll, have a read, you can download it for your PC too :thumb2

Cover Blurb:

Frankie is a wise cracking, womanising, half Gypsy, he lives in a shabby caravan, on a dilapidated small holding in rural Shropshire, and scrapes a living breeding hens and doing odd jobs. He spends most of his time with his close friend and landlady Liza, whose wealthy husband owns the adjoining Whitimere Grange. An old friend, from a life Frankie has tried desperately to leave behind, makes a sudden reappearance and Frankie’s life quickly turns from rural tranquillity to a rollercoaster race around England - from Appleby Horse Fair to the South Devon Coast - being pursued by, or in pursuit of, a band of murderous gangsters.
Frankie desperately needs to uncover the truth as the lives of both his friends – the enigmatic Liza and the feisty Jenny – are in danger. But the truth is shrouded by lies and everyone, including Frankie, seems to have a guilty secret. He tries to hang on to his independence and solve the mystery using his charm and ingenuity, but time is fast running out and sooner or later he is going to have to do things The Gypsy Way.
A story peppered with comedy and romance, with its fair share of sex, violence, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Rural England and Gypsy life in the mid 1980’s without a crystal ball or fortune teller in site!


It would do me a great favour if you all just click the like button next to the title on Amazon - :thumb2

Ah, that's good then, means I can look forward to the rest as they appear, had me worried there! Has been said I suffer from CDO - OCD isn't in alphabetical order!

Nearly half way through already, enjoyable read, reminds me a bit of a Robert Goddard style of novel, although Frankie gets a bit more than RG's main characters usually do :naughty

It is semi autobiographical, until just before last Christmas I owned 'Frankie's Plot' and lived on there in a caravan for several years :thumb2

[arcascomp]

Well if it's semi autobiographical, you're an energetic bugger! :naughty

Just finished it and I really enjoyed it, when's the next one due out?
