Girl Builds Herself Boyfriend Out Of Soap Bubbles

Now that would avoid arguments about who should do the housework, or any other kind of disagreement (although conversation might be somewhat limited …)! http://en.rocketnews24.com/2013/11/29/girl-builds-herself-a-boyfriend-out-of-soap-bubbles/

Review of my book Samantha (free in the Kindle store until 3 December)

Leave a reply

My short story, Samantha is available free, in the Kindle store from 29 November until 3 December. On checking my author’s page earlier today I was extremely pleased to find that Samantha has received another 4 star review (http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R1B1DN6K0ZS28K/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00BL3CNHI&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=341677031&store=digital-text), making a total of 4, 4 star reviews.

Samantha tells the story of a young woman forced into prostitution in the city of my birth, Liverpool by her brutal pimp, Barry. Can Samantha survive her ordeal or will she end her existence in the murky waters of Liverpool’s Albert Docks? Samantha is available in the Amazon Kindle store on both amazon.co.uk and amazon.com

The Mystery Of Disappearing Content

6 Replies

On looking over my Amazon author’s page I noticed that the one on amazon.co.uk contains my biography, a photograph of yours truly with my guide dog Trigger (Trigger is the dashingly handsome one), while that on amazon.com has only a list of my books. I had assumed that information entered onto one author’s profile would automatically be copied, by Amazon to my other page. On querying the position Amazon advised that authors need to create author’s profiles on both sites, a fact of which I was previously unaware.

Perhaps I am the only author who has laboured under the misapprehension that the creation of a profile on Amazon automatically creates a page on both amazon.co.uk and amazon.com. Obviously this is not the case but it would be extremely useful if, on creating an Amazon author’s profile the creator was offered the option to, at the same time create pages on both Amazon sites.

Turning to the issue of Amazon book reviews, I welcome the fact that reviews posted on one Amazon site now also appear on both amazon.co.uk and amazon.com (so, for example a review of my short story, Samantha which appears on amazon.com also shows on the UK site). However the issue is clouded owing to the fact that anyone casually glancing at a page on one Amazon site will see that a particular book has x number of reviews, however if he/she scans down the page reviews on another Amazon site, for the same book may well become visible. I would suggest that the total number of reviews on all Amazon sites for a particular book should be clearly displayed without the need for the reader to scan the entire page. The number of reviews and, more importantly the comments contained therein influence reader’s decisions as to whether to purchase a particular title. I would be interested to hear what other authors and readers think?

Free Kindle Reading Apps

Leave a reply

I well recall telling an acquaintance I had published an e-book, on Amazon only to be told that she would love to read it but, unfortunately she did not own a Kindle. In point of fact you don’t need to own a Kindle in order to read e-books sold in the Kindle store. Kindle books can be read on your PC together with a number of other devices including Android phones and Apple products, the only cost (apart from that of the purchase of the device itself) being that entailed in purchasing the e-book as all of the apps are free!

Samantha tells the story of a young girl forced into prostitution in the city of Liverpool. Can Sam’s love for Peter, a man she meets in a nightclub, save her? Or will Sam end her life in the murky waters of Liverpool’s Albert Dock?

A Question

Leave a reply

Conversation diverting, we two flirting. Words meaning’s, lost in dreaming. Mutual attraction or mere distraction?

Where I to broach, would your reproach, destroy all hope? Would your objection, to my suggestion end in dejection? Fear of rejection, no suggestion? Should you agree, what then for you and me?
