Have you downloaded Kindle Create? It's pretty easy to work with and I've had luck with it.

I'm doing it online. Better to DL an app and do it "in-house"?

This puppy right here? Hmm, yeah, but I updated the cover an' everything! Bloody Kindle! Social services is the welfare net, in effect. I've been off work since I had cancer and am reliant on it. Hence trying to get more books out and start generating even some modest income. Want life to be a bit ...

I'd like to hijack this thread... but I won't. The choir I'm in does a Cash medly, one song I've forgotten, then Ring of Fire, then Ghost Riders In The Sky, and we do it good.

Still... Thunderstruck you say? Play in full screen mode.

It's me! I've been busy. Since putting out 'Catching Light' on Amazon nearly 5 years ago, I've been struggling with moving houses, lockdowns, difficult personal relationships, pneumonia and a bunch of other things. Reorganised my mental processes. Now about 85% through a fantasy novel, the goal bein...

This is for former denizens of TrekBBS. The mod known as Locutus of Bored has passed away. Already with breathing difficulties, he developed pneumonia, then caught covid late last year, and it was more than his system could handle. It's been a not-good time, really.

I've been away.

I'm very sorry emma's gone. She was a sweet person. I don't know what else to say that hasn't been said.

Working on story set in 1913 Vienna, and the research is intense . Does Sigmund Freud figure prominently in your story? I hope so! Freud. Jung. Trotsky. Lenin. Stalin. Friedell. And a certain painter... They were all there for real. I'm going to throw in a few more historical figures at a well know...

Yo, drive-by check-in. Working on story set in 1913 Vienna, and the research is intense . It was going to be a short story but it could end up being a short novel. Also a mate has sent me a bunch of original backing tracks for me to write lyrics for and put vocals on, so I'll eventually have an albu...

Yes, Norman the phlebotomist is a Richmond icon and mainstay. I just wish he would stop giggling as my blood leaves my body.

Yes. He enjoys extracting bluuuuuud...
Ah. Ah. Ahhhh.

With my grandgirl at Grandparents' Day

Everything seems to be mostly going well here. :) Went to grandgirl's daycare because it was Grandparents' Day! She was SO happy to see me! We did puzzles, we painted, we played in the sandpit. All her little friends want to join in too, and asked me "Can you help me with the puzzle?" &quo...

It may very well end up that way...

Great review. Congratulations. I hope you notice a boost in sales.

Ta. Me too.

I have to say that I don't ever remember thinking that any dialogue was contrived.

Neither do I. All I can say is... short stories, ya gotta get from start to end quickly but clearly.

Yo. Nothing much to tell. Helped look after grandbabiws over w/end while DiL got some much needed downtime. Searching for online courses I can do on marketing that the Govt will pay for as a "retrain the oldie" thing (which I can use for part time work as well as promoting my books). And n...
