Here I am at the edge

Mission Impossible It takes a lot to knock Forgestriker off the top, but it can be done    https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-indieworld/this_morning_months_bestseller/ .  I am as pleased that other books are selling, as I am at the sales figures for the month.

Warhammer writer For a third time, I have sent an excerpt of a story to    https://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar . This time, the passage comes from my short story    https://hereiamattheedge.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/lost-in-mondoria.html#.WmeB0ahl_IU .  I prefer the combat in the Old world to writing about masses of superhuman soldiers and robotic armies. The segment is part of a short story on sale on    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007XX5LVU   or  https://www.draft2digital.com/book/32517

Shandra  This is the continuing story of Shandra; this segment continues from   https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-writingworld/shandra_revisited/ Shandra looked around, trying to find where the sound of rushing water was coming from but all she could see was a rock face. “Oh great Flamendor, where is the water, all I see are the crystals of your home?” The wise old dragon yawned and stretched his tired wings before replying, “Shandra, you are wise to ask, for not all who have passed through the cave system have found the water they seek. You were bright enough to reason that a battle in the open would result in the loss of your tribe, so you pulled back to a situation in which you had the advantage. Now is the time to open your mind to what lies ahead but what you cannot see at a glance. If you look to your left, there is a green crystal, if you look in the crystal, you will see the location of the lake from which the water flows. The entrance to this lake is...

Science Fiction and the USA Years ago, on a writing course, I was told the hardest market to sell to is the US  Science Fiction  market. As I have been selling for over five years now, in my opinion, the most difficult market to sell in is the Canadian market. I have sold e-books in places as far apart as Norway and New Zealand , or Germany and South Africa , but in all my years I have yet to sell an e-book in  Canada . I had lots of promises of sales, but no sales. When I started to sell on  Draft2Digital , I looked at the site on  Barnes & Noble . I thought there is no way I can sell my sci-fi there, the site is geared to selling to higher education establishments, and I figured I had no chance of sales. It took a friend in Canada to convince me to try to sell there, and I have not looked back (until this month). With a series that sold over 750 e-books in three and a half years, I can say I cracked the US sci-fi market. If only I could sell i...

Andover, Hampshire My friends tell me that I am very empathetic and perhaps I should have been a minister or a care worker. I wonder if this is why I was sent to  Amport House   alsdomain.weebly.com/at-the-blogstop/amport-house  when I was in the  Royal Air Force . I thought it was because my stories had scared people who cared about my mental health . Even at the age of 18, my stories were so good they could cause people to worry about me. One such story happened during my time at RAF Cosford , it was a Sunday and having nothing to do, I decided to go to Wolverhampton for the day. Nobody in the room was awake when I got back from breakfast, so I walked to the nearest rail station as I arrived the train left, being riled I sat down and wrote a comical suicide note - not thinking anyone would read it - when I got back to the room in the evening there was a great relief as my friends hadn't seen me leave but had found the note I left; they thought I'd killed...

If I needed proof - here it is Today, I found out that although I might not be selling a lot, I am selling in a lot of place thanks to  #Draft2Digital   https://www.draft2digital.com/book/150338 .    As well as being my best for almost a year on D2D, this month on the site, I sold the equivalent of three years sales on Amazon for my stock.

In times of old Still in its raw state but here is a sample of a future fantasy story . The battle had raged for many days, and the fight had been hard, but at the end of the day, the warriors of the Geven tribe stood proudly as their new chief Shandra Connaught viewed them. Shandra surveyed the men who stood before her with pride, "Warriors of the Geven, today we struck a blow for freedom. No longer will be the victims of the Ghoron. Last night, we stood firm and showed them we are not going to wait for them to attack again. They felt our wrath to avenge the brothers and sisters who fell in  battles, over the years, it is a rage-filled with the desire to bathe in the blood of defeated." The Geven and Ghoron tribes remained enemies for so long that nobody knew or cared what started the feuds. The lands of the Kaladrian Forest have been fought over for centuries. There are tales of men who can blend into the trees and remain unseen for months, but few believe such...

It isn't always about the amount of sales Zombiewatch Sometimes, it is what sells that matters, not the amount of e-books you sell.  That has been the drawback for me, while Forgestriker   http://alsdomain.weebly.com/forgestriker---the-hit-series.html   has thrived, my other stories have died, until this week when two stories other than the series sold.

Episode 2  A few minutes ago, I finished episode 2 of  Baal and Drux   disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-writingworld/baals_travels/ . My  fantasy  story is an ongoing project that was designed to come out as a book   www.draft2digital.com/reports/
