What’s going on? Good question – the ‘phoney war’ continues.
Amazon contacted me at the end of August for permission to transfer my book titles to Vinci’s KDP dashboard. I assumed this involved a flick of a switch in the 21st century, not a protracted event. However, I was informed the task would take one to two weeks.
Vinci encouraged me to resume promotions. After the dust has settled on the transfer, they will pick up any outstanding items and start on their ideas about marketing my books in the future. So here are the UPCOMING FREE PROMOS:
FRI 20TH SEPT – FATAL DECISION –a BookBub Featured Deal, and SAT 21ST SEPT – THE OLYMPUS PROJECT.
Work on the new website is progressing well, and soon, I can add a range of bright colours to my gallery. Vinci’s art designer is creating new covers for my books.
In an earlier blog post, I mentioned that The Lamb at Urchfont had reopened. Here’s photographic evidence that Gus’s old drinking hole is alive and kicking. Why not call in if you’re on your travels?

Elsewhere, things are not so healthy in the pub trade. Wadworth’s have advertised for tenants to resurrect the fortunes of four more pubs – including The Moonrakers and the Fox & Hounds.
If you’ve read ‘Deadly Formula’ (#4), you will know The Moonrakers was where Neil Davis’s father, Terry, spent his final evening. The large family pub across the road from the town’s football club has been a popular place since I was a teenager. As for the Fox & Hounds, Gus and Suzie ate in the pub often at weekends, and The Reverend and Brett Penman joined them on the odd occasion. Good food, live music, a drink and stimulating conversation with friends – what’s not to like?
I’ll be back next month with news – with a following wind everything will be coming up roses.
Best wishes – Keep reading – Tell more of your friends about me.
