Fantastic Books Publishing

Us Fantastic authors, or six of us anyway, met up via Zoom on Monday night for a chat about how to market our books - especially by Youtube type videos.  Our publisher is Fantastic Books Publishing by the way, just in case you thought I was calling myself fantastic!  

I can write, but for sure I am not Dickens.

Author James Vigor gave us a great lesson in doing this - though I will need a lot of help from my Resident Tech Expert. And I still can't afford Kate Moss to be me in the video. Its a Catch 22 really, to afford her I need to have the blockbusting bestseller, but to have the blockbusting bestseller I need her to be me in my video.

Oh well.  I am just so grateful to be published. I put a lot of work into those books, into making them page turners and I have a few appreciative readers who would happily buy the next one if I can ever get it written.

But I suspect I no longer have the energy.  And it does take energy to keep returning to the world of the book and moving it along.   If only I could get some sleep. Having said that, I do get some, but the pain keeps waking me.  A friend very kindly offered to bring me round some sleep tea, but I had to point out that it wasn't sleep that was the problem as such, it was the pain that keeps waking me.

I got to the Kingdom Hall in person on Thursday night - rather than in pixel form - so I hope I may be back on a regular basis now.  It all depends how the pain goes I guess.

Or whether it goes!

I have been enjoying watching both The Great British Menu, and The Apprentice.  There was an Apprentice first yesterday when Lord Sugar declared both teams "losers" and sacked one candidate from each team.

That could often have been said and done before, but this is the first time he has actually done it - over a Hot Sauce challenge too, which did not  seem like one of the more difficult ones.
