Now 12 5-star reviews

I am gobsmacked. I haven't checked my Amazon page for a couple of months and find I now have 10 five-star reviews. ALL GENUINE. I write for myself and for my readers, not to make a profit (no chance of that these days anyway). Playpits is here: http://amzn.to/1D7odcH

Playpits Park Hi Lovecraftian. Thanks for the comments. Playpits Park is off Amazon's freebie list now and I can't put it back on for three months. Last week 544 people downloaded it and for two or three days it was Amazon Kindle's top download. Sad when a writer has to judge his book by the...

Under pressure from friends I have put my novel Playpits Park up on Amazon for Kindle. THIS WEEK IT IS FREE! the link to it is here: A book wot I wrote… | Richard Whittle______PlaypitsPark | Richard Whittle______PlaypitsPark[/url]

Eight months later I have progressed just a tiny bit. I have uploaded a novel on to Amazon. It is digital, and only for Kindle. I want to provide hardcop[y (that is, a real book!) but I still haven't cracked the Createspace problem. They have still not got it right for UK writers.

I have bought 'Wizard's Hall' from Amazon and I am half way through reading it. Apart from the story being about a school for wizards set in a pointed-turretted school with large rooms (if it was a school for wizards then it would be, wouldn't it? It would hardly be in the local primary school)...

Eva, you are right, I should read it before making such pronouncements. I have ordered it from Amazon.

According to Amazon's site I can upload an ebook and they will sell it online. The details are all there. Trouble is, it seems that I need a US bank account (I am in the UK). About a year ago someone somewhere mentioned that Amazon were starting a Europe-based system where a US bank account...

...and if you don't believe in coincidences, try this: I was once a policeman. I left, and went to work in a very small town in the UK. I rented a couple of rooms and when the landlady heard I was ex-police she told me about a lad who ten years earlier had rented the same rooms. He was a 'bad...

I have been writing for years (about 20!) and have written five books, none of which have been published. I have had some original ideas and insights. I am an avid reader, and occasionally I come across bits in published novels that are so close to stuff I have written that I am dumbfounded. I'm...

Agreed! So much to do... so little time.

Stewart, thanks for the Edinburgh website. It looks interesting, well worth following up.

Good point. I was reading stuff in the fiction section and just posted. Can it be moved?

You must have been reading my blog! Not far from Edinburgh.

The Millennium Series by Stieg Larsson, starting with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I can't find words to describe how good these books are... though I have tried... see my blog page at The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo « Richard Whittle______PlaypitsPark

I was just being pedantic. I'm an ex-copper (I did ten years. What I mean is, I did ten years in the police, not ten in Wormwood Scrubs). For years I couldn't even read crime stories, they seemed so unrealistic. Then I read Ian Rankin's stuff and realised that crime writers weren't all like...

In terms of authors, it has to be Ian Rankin. I was once a policeman, and hated crime novels because they were so false. Then I read one of Rankin's early Rebus novels (Knots and Crosses, maybe? Not sure). I got hooked on them, and I read all of his work. It was realistic, in line with my own...
