My new book, ready to read!

(RIP) PLANK · 29-10-2012, 08:27

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_...orridors&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?

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.

keep the jokes coming, i may squeeze a chapter out of this

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.

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

Plus the pages are easier to turn

but it should be available in paperback soon

briggie · 30-10-2012, 16:56

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

(RIP) PLANK · 30-10-2012, 17:02

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

arcascomp · 30-10-2012, 17:05

You could always download it and print it off Briggie!
