I’m talking about myself here. I’ve just published the latest Victorian mystery in my ongoing series of novels set, in this case, in 1892. You can find ‘Follow the Van’ by following that link. [Btw: the link is to Amazon.com, if you’re in the UK, then change the .com to .co.uk, otherwise it will tell you the book isn’t available. The same goes for other countries, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Denmark, Spain… wherever you are.]
The first of the three series starts in 1888 with the hunt for the East End Ripper and the characters and story develop from there through 11 books and into series two. There, you find seven books, new characters coming and going but the core team remains strong, and that series then ends with a massive treasure hunt. Meanwhile, series three has been set up, and now, I am starting to write book four of that series. These are all fun mysteries under my pen name, and you can find all the books on my second Amazon page here.
I’ve got another Amazon author page under my real name, and that’s where you can find much earlier books and my Symi collection, as advertised over there on the right of this page. I’m lucky in that many people who go to read both authors are people who’ve been to Symi, who we have met and who I know, but I am also pleased to say I have many readers from all around the world. That might make me sound terribly popular and doing rather well, but that’s not always the case – being popular I mean. Or doing rather well, come to that, but now, my 40 + books pay for their own publishing, so at least I’m not losing out.
I’ve often been asked how I publish my own works on Amazon, and it’s surprisingly simple when you know how. However, the process takes too long to explain in any one article or blog post, or even conversation. If you’re interested to read about the basics, and see a quick summary of how I go about publishing, then check out the article I wrote for my other blog:

Meanwhile, I’ll leave you with the above random photos of Symi which don’t reflect today’s weather, which is cloudy and windy, though not overly cold. Still, a day for staying in and feeling lazy. Once I’ve written the next chapter.
