Pain and Glory

Dolor y Gloria
Pain and Glory is the title of a film by Pedro Almodovar. The film is about a film producer who is looking back at the sadness and glories he has had over the years, something I can relate to with ease.

Pain
A decade struggling to get a publisher interested in my work, while I watched writers who my friends considered lesser talented than I prosper for want of two things, They live in the USA and have money to spare for publicity.
Wasting money, I couldn't spare in buying a book cover for a romance novel that never sold.
Finding out the only publishers interested in me are scam sites where I'd have to pay for publication.

Glory
My one blinding success story in my decade of struggle is the science-fiction series Forgestriker which has sold over 850 e-books in five years.

What I found offensive, again, is she assumed having large reasts, and in her case an oversize bottom was what I like In short, she has nothing of interest for me..

 eBay extension Over the coming month, I hope to start selling some of my Warhammer Limited Edition books on eBay ; I did this some time ago with a little success. Many of the books are also signed, I never covered the cost I paid, my thinking is I may as well get something back as I never read the books, and there maybe someone who will read the book .
