This last week I have been working on the book trailer. The animated text, much like a lyric video, is taking a lot of time to do. I am about three quarters of the way through now, but I think I am coming down with flu so everything seems to be slowing down a little.
Anyway some great news is I have had two amazing reviews from Amazon.
Here they are –
And the link to the book page.
It’s hard to get noticed and actually appear in searches, given the amount of books sold daily on Amazon, so these good reviews will hopefully enable it to go up the rankings a little when searching.
As of today I rank #85,895 in the Kindle store, and 213,982 in paperback which is pretty good. It’s a good ranking I think for an unknown author self marketing!
All the bookmarks I placed in Sainsbury’s have been taken (I refilled them again too) yet although I can check the Kindle edition sales (which have been slow) I have no idea how many have been sold for the paperback, so I don’t know on the success from distributing bookmarks. But I think I will get another set printed soon to distribute again. The quality and look of the bookmarks does seem to appeal.
Now so it’s not all “All for Socks”,
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

And with that, I will take up your time for one more minute (well 2.24) for some squee fun!
