It’s OK. You Can Use Paypal Again.

Tweet

Smashwords wrote today to say that the pressure is off from Paypal. They (and presumably other book sellers) will be allowed to sell any legal books without fear of Paypal services being withdrawn. Apparently, all it took was for tens of thousands of people to protest about it to make Paypal talk to the [...]

Credit Card Companies are Censoring Legal Books

Tweet

A few days ago, Smashwords wrote to its authors to say they were being forced to censor certain erotica titles on the insistence of Paypal. Now I don’t read or write erotica but I care very much that other people should be allowed to. I also care that corporations should not be allowed to [...]

Talking TimeSplash and Kindle at Patty Jansen’s Blog

Just a very quick note to say you should pop over to Patty Jansen’s blog where I have a guest post about my experiences with the Kindle Select programme. Patty describes it as “a wild ride” and she’s absolutely right. See you over there.

Best-Seller for a… Couple More Days

Tweet

Last weekend (was that just three days ago?) I had a free book giveaway on Amazon for my time travel thriller, TimeSplash (that’s it in the left-hand column if you want to pick up a copy). As my previous post says, it was an exciting moment. A book that had spent almost two years [...]

The Kindle App on My Smartphone

Tweet

A profound change has come upon me. No, it’s not the male menopause, although I’m long overdue for a red sports car and a dab of Rogaine. No, this change is based on the realisation that from this week onward, whatever I’m doing, wherever I am, I will never be without a book to [...]

So, as we speak, TimeSplash is on sale as a self-published ebook and as a commercially published audio book, and it is in production at [...]

The Strange Geography of eBook Sales

Tweet

Before I go on, let me just squee* for a moment. The second edition of my time travel thriller, TimeSplash, is out today (on Smashwords – out tomorrow on Amazon), It has had a bit of an overhaul, too: new cover, slight re-edit, and two new ISBNs. That’s it, on the left of this [...]

Tales of Post-Apocalyptic Love

Remember me mentioning some upcoming anthologies with stories of mine in them? Well, one is out today. So shoot over to Amazon and grab your copy. All proceeds to to help Queensland flood victims. These guys lost a lot and are still suffering, so if you’re feeling charitable, this [...]

Read an eBook Week Becomes a Feeding Frenzy

Tweet

At least, if my own experience is anything to go by!

I mentioned the other day that the few books I’ve self-published have been available for free on Smashwords to celebrate Read an eBook Week. Well, the week is almost up and it has been an astonishing success. People picked up almost as many [...]

End of Year Report

Tweet Happy New Year everybody!

First off, thanks to everyone who took advantage of my publisher’s Holiday Special and snagged a cheap copy of TimeSplash. Astute shoppers will notice that the offer has now closed. Personally, I’d like to keep the price that low all year round but it’s not up to me. Instead, I [...]
