This thread looks as if it is going to be vibrant and oh so interesting....The UK version2 storyline sounds fascinating almost science-fiction. :).. thanks :) i am going for that level of Sci-Fi that makes you think actually that could happen husband though the story about the stand pipes was a joke as i have that in the book as well :) June - My mother is writing about her childhood and later years. She is 92 but does not want to finish her story. She reckons it must continue all the time she does....(she is pretty superstitious).When the war came along she was a court dressmaker but enlisted to make kit bags on an industrial machine - the other girls pinched her work during lunch-breaks and stitched their own tags into the bags so her "peace-rate" pay was lousy. She requested a move and ended up "on the buses" with a huge number of takes to tell from Blitz time London!!
It's quite easy to get started, there's a decent introduction here for example http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-18438_7-20010547-82/how-to-self-publish-an-ebook/Sales are obviously a lot more tricky, the guy I know actually published several ebooks under different aliases, giving him experience and seeing what would sell. He then concentrated on publishing under what appeared to be the most popular alias, gave quite a few away as he found that readers could become quite loyal and go on to purchase his back catalogue and future releases. I know he's not making a living from it, I don't think that was the intention, but his sales have now mounted up to a few hundred dollars a month.
Hi Aden roller.It is so interesting to hear about other peoples lives I think,I had a free childhood and was left to roam where ever I wished , I had so many adventures, not like the poor children of today who never seem to play out ,Oh they miss so much I think. your mothers life sounds very interesting My mother was on the buses to, she was one of Birmingham's first lady clippies, she went through all the Blitz of B''ham, and had some near misses.Cambourne keep it going .also anyone else who has a story to tell , June.
