Devon update

All is well here in Devon although the hedges and walls in the narrow lanes still leap out and damage my car when I have to reverse. Lorry drivers tend to shout as I career backwards out of control. Never mind. All material for the next book!

In two weeks' time I am attending an Author's day at Totnes library. The book is still going well and the lovely Cottage Hotel need some more. I have not yet met Nigel and Fliss up there but I am sure they go there for the lovely cream teas from time to time. (That is if Nigel is still around!)

In a couple of weeks I get the reprint and any typos dealt with, plus A Political Thriller on the cover. It is amazing how many people say it should be a film. Thanks so much for all the encouragement. Tall oaks from ....etc. etc. Watch this space.

PS

As a PS to the Amazon story, the publisher tells me that Amazon had sold out, but have now replenished. Also my bloguru Rodney has tweaked the Amazon link on this blog, so all is well.

Availability

I have today looked at Amazon and find that The Other Canal is only listed in dollars and through foreign suppliers. As it was originally available from Amazon I am trying to find out what is happening. It is possible to order from Matador, see blog or log in to Matador Self Publishing sales.

The book is now going into reprint - the cover will now also say A Political Thriller - just to make it clear it is not about canals! It is being entered for best Self Published Novel comp. Fingers crossed!

I am enjoying life in Devon and hope to eventually make friends with the hedges and brick and flint walls that attack my car on narrow roads with passing places. Need to buy some T cut (tea cut?)
I am looking forward to giving the talk on the book at Kingsbridge Library on Thursday (10.30).
I got the keys to my new home yesterday and the removals from store take place on 9th. I have planned to put my desk near a window overlooking fields and for those kind enough to ask if there is to be a sequel to The Other Canal, the reply is "Wait and see!"

Many thanks to Rodney and John. Rodney has been my bloguru and I am very grateful.
