When Problems Pale…
I am digging into the archives to post a few times this week. Not feeling 18 carat, and wrestling with everything. Hopefully, my problems will pale into insignificance when seen from another viewpoint. I awoke this morning with the usual week day feeling. Then I happened to watch some of the breakfast news on TV,…

Paradise Lost…

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.

Another day, another determination…

Do we need Beta readers?
When I first began to blog, back in 2012, it was to promote my sister, Anita’s books and I had no idea how anything worked. All I had to go by was the fact that everybody seemed to be doing it, so how hard could it be. So I set to it with a great…
