I'll nab it too, it's only $3 on the CDN site. Sounds like a decent price to support ya!

Thanks guys! I don't think I had a choice with non sterling prices or I'd make them cheaper too. I wrote them for myself more than anything but it feels nice to have people actually read my stuff. Plus it's got the writing bug going again and I want to start editing my novel.

One of the biggest music software companies (Waves) went subscription-only with no advance warning. People said Waves wouldn't listen to our protests, but still I tried to do what I could. (Their corporate headquarters apparently happens to be right next to one of the main areas where massive crowds were protesting in Tel Aviv.) They've now relented after only a few days.

So I'm a bit nervous about this but I've self published a small collection of short stories on Kindle... I'm quite happy about it because it represents me actually getting on with writing and makes me think that I might actually sort out my novel at some point.

Anyway if anyone wants to buy it, share it, review it, I would be so grateful - it's called Light Tomes: An Anthology https://amzn.eu/d/ce70Lkq

It's only £1.77 in the UK, which is the cheapest I can make it without Amazon rinsing me with a more punishing royalty tariff haha

Nearly two decades after joining the forum Tiste gets himself banned for self promotion.

:Mods:

But seriously that's awesome Tiste, I'll check it out!

Well done!

I have no memory of how to add a book to goodreads so can't help there.

I have a wisteria plant on my back wall. Some years ago I had a vision of amazing purple wisteria flowers covering the wall, drawing the eye from every window at the back of our house. Bedrooms, kitchen, lounge, the lot, it's the end of the view into the garden. I spent £40 on a plant. The most I have ever spend on a single plant. I built a really strong wire structure to support its weight. Fed and pruned it by the book every spring, summer, autumn and winter. I did what needed to be done. The books said it would take 5 years to flower. 8.5 years later I have my first flower buds!!!! I'm so frickin excited.

Wife has an interview with Aviva today, and YAS on Sat 15th. Let's hope she gets something permanent.

Will keep things crossed, about time she had some luck!

WMMHT: house is almost ready to go on the market (photos being done next week) and we're being allowed to see a house beforehand which honestly might be the perfect forever home. Just waiting to hear when we can see it.
