Things are busy here. Sales for Radio Hope are steady but not stellar, but it's only been out two weeks so word is still spreading. Please help with that if you can!
I've
received two new reviews. One on Goodreads, by a member of my writers
group in Madrid saying, "I liked it, so much so that--faced with all
those empty days until the next installment arrives--to satisfy my
craving for radioactive scavenging and crumbling pockets of civilisation
I've started playing Fallout: New Vegas again, after several years of
twitchy abstinence. So thanks a lot, Sean: Radio Hope kicked me off the
wagon."
The other is on Amazon and is titled: "It's a hard
life if you don't weaken. If you do, you're dead." Gotta love a
reviewer who paraphrases Sillitoe. From there she compares it with The Postman (I have a better ending, thank you for noticing) and to Stephen King.
I'm over at Amlokiblogs today talking about the importance of minor characters in writing.
Far
more important than all this is that indie bestselling author Hugh
Howey has teamed up with a statistician to analyze how well indie
authors are doing compared with traditionally published authors. The
data will surprise you. If you're a writer, or a reader interested in
the future of books, check out his report.
A history post tomorrow. I'm getting bored with all this self-promotion!
That she was a he, actually, Sean -- Me Roland. I once grew tired of my own self-promotion and wrote a post: "Enough about me - What do you think of me?" Looking forward to your history post tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDoh! I'm not sure why I had it stuck in my mind that you were a woman. Roland is a man's name after all. :-/
