Well, I am back from a week in Wales. Yes, I had a lovely time, thanks for asking. The weather wasn't great, but it stayed dry most of the time, and I got to spend time with the children. Three of them, anyway. My eldest didn't come with us this year. It just didn't feel the same. But never mind; life moves on.
Anyway, I am back now, and ready to check how my new book is selling.
It isn't.
Well, according to one particular website that tracks the sales made on Amazon, it isn't. Despite people telling me they have downloaded it, or bought the paperback, the stats are saying I have sold four books in the whole time it's been up and running.
I don't understand.
I know it's also available on Smashwords.com, but my friends and family have all said they have gone to Amazon.
Now, I appreciate the sales figures may not be accurate, but the ranking is: 57,002 as I type this. I understand it is going to take time and effort to get this ranking moving in the right direction, so now I have to start thinking of different ways of getting it out there.
So, that's my holiday over.

It'll pick up Ian...a little bit of patience and promotion. And how was the holiday, did you enjoy? Welcome back.
