Unofficial feedback!

Was in Waterstones today as I needed a copy of my book and it would have taken ages to go through the publisher to get one. Was incognito (ie in old clothes, little make-up, messy hair…ok, I was looking my normal self) as I felt a little silly buying my own book. The lady on… Read more »

DA Update

Apparently, the rumours surrounding DA are just the result of a misunderstanding. This is what I have been told, so I am happy to give them the benefit of the doubt. Watch this space!

Yep, Facebook again!

I now have a ‘fan page’ on Facebook, so if you’re addicted to Facebook (like I am), please drop in and say hello!

Thank you.

Just wanted to post a quick thank you to those of you have been kind enough to direct me to the Society of Authors website, where there is a warning about Discovered Authors. Although there are no details, it is clear that I am not alone in encountering problems with them. My worry is that… Read more »

Down.

Sometimes, you just have to give in to self-pity, and sometimes you need to pull yourself out of it. At the moment, I’m wallowing.

Still waiting…

My publisher has still not taken the time to respond to me. I’m really upset and frustrated – does this kind of thing happen to everybody, or is it just me? I’m not sure what to do next. I’m not a member of the Society of Authors (couldn’t afford the £64 fee – I know… Read more »

Well…

Still no response from DA. Not impressed. Oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day!
