Bits and pieces

Bits and pieces

I was just having a look at my Kindle sales report for the month to date, to see what was the best-selling title so far. That’s best-selling out of my own collection, you understand, none of my titles is in a real bestseller list, yet. I was very pleased to see that ‘The Saddling’ is top of my list. It is, strangely, followed by ‘Village View – a year on Symi’. I say strangely as the two books could not be further apart. Mind you, there has been a bit of a rush on ‘Symi 85600’ over in the print section, so perhaps people have enjoyed that and wanted more of Symi life in book form.

Early cloud

While all that was going on, I have managed to get ‘Honestly‘ up on Kindle now, and it’s only $0.99p to download. (I am not sure if I need to put the ‘p’ on the end of that price, but it is a Miss P novella, so it seems appropriate.) That went live yesterday, so I will be checking in to my account again soon to see if a) anyone has bought it, b) if anyone leaves a review (in time) and c) if it boosts sales of Remotely. The links to some of these novels/books can be found in the right column over there >> or you can head to my Amazon author page to see the full collection.

Not sure what this is…

That’s book news, in other bits and pieces… We are experiencing cloud as I write this (Thursday morning) and the temperature has dropped a little. Apparently, this isn’t going to last very long, and we’re not expecting rain. I was going to take a walk today (yesterday) and take some more photos, but I spent most of the night awake with a thumping pain in my foot. This started on Wednesday after our stroll up the main road, and I assumed I had pulled a muscle or something. But today my foot had swollen up and the pain increased. I am now thinking it’s a mosquito bite in just the right place to cause the swelling and thus the pain. There’s nothing nasty going on down there, but it does mean I can’t walk very far or dance around, not that I do much of either. I’ve had a similar thing before so am not unduly worried, just annoyed that I am not as mobile as usual.

… but it was being towed across the bay

Anyway, that’s my update for today. I am off to Yialos later today (Friday, do keep up) to meet a friend from way back when. We’ve not seen each other since about 1980, so that should be interesting. A lunch is in order, a visit to the house perhaps and a good old catch-up will fill my day.
