Ok. So here’s the thing.

I’ve just been paid!!!!

For writing!!!!

And it feels huge. After years of doing this thing that I really love, I’ve actually received money for it.

So I’m going to go out and celebrate. But what to buy with my hard earned cash…..? There’s the question. It’s got to be something memorable, something to savour, something to remember with pleasure in years to come when I look back and think about this special moment.

I’m thinking a cup of coffee maybe. Or a magazine. A cup of coffee and a magazine would be nice. I can’t do both.

Because the amount I’ve been paid is….

£5.00. Oh and $1.18 for the one book I sold in America.

This is the grand total of my earnings for the month of August, when I sold 25 copies of The Greenyards Legacy. Impressive huh!

So what I’m thinking is….

Maybe it’s about time you read The Greenyards Legacy. People who have, seem to have really liked it. It’s available at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. And it’s available on Kindle. So there’s really no excuse.

And if you buy it then maybe I’ll be able to afford the coffee and the magazine.

On second thoughts….

Ignore all that hard-done by impoverished writer special pleading malarky. I’m just chuffed to bits that people are reading and enjoying my book.

Big day, huh!
