A Sunday Smile…
There are bright blue skies and sunshine today, a pleasant surprise after so many grey and miserable days.#I slipped on my flip flops and ventured outside, hoping for some signs of Spring. There were no buds on the bonsai, and everywhere I looked, there were dark, bare, empty branches. No other welcome signs of Spring.…

The Trouble with Progress…
The Trouble with Progress… … is that it usually tries to be too clever, too destructive. Maybe this is some test, or a defence mechanism? Since I managed to access my kitchen, many doors have opened for me. I can wander out there to drink water or wash my hands. Such small privileges but tremendous…

Interview With My Conscience…
It was another Monday morning and I was asking myself the same old question. Why do I bother with any of it? Anything that could possibly go wrong, usually does, and it was getting a bit wearing.

A Huge Thankyou!
I just had to share the latest surprise to come from our attempts to spread the word about our books. We have run KDP promotions before with varying degrees of success, for instance, Anita’s book Secrets had 37 uptakes which I thought was pretty good, considering we are beginners after all.

#PoweredByIndie
Amazon are running a promotion this October called PoweredByIndie. Basically to celebrate authors who self publish with them. They are highlighting as many as they can, but suggest we all blow a few trumpets too. This we can do, because we like blowing trumpets, and have learned more as an Indie than as anything else.…
