Here I am at the edge

Can the UK survive a third heat wave this Summer? Believe it or not, the UK should be having a third heat wave in as many weeks. After the promises of a heat wave in July , brought by a  Spanish Plume  but is it any surprise that nobody believes the  TV weather forecast , each time we have a nice day they say it's a heatwave. It's hard to imagine a small drop in temperature could make such a large difference. Two days ago, the temperature was 25 degrees, and I had trouble breathing. Today, it's 23, and we're talking about putting the heating on, in July?

A bad reputation - hopefully Ghosts don't dance   is a gentle romance, and I can see no reason why anyone should wish to ban the book.  Of all my stories, Ghosts don't dance   is one of the least offensive I have written.

I'm not even close When I started out, my dream was to sell ten of one e-book in a day - four and a half years on, and I am as far away as ever - if not further than the day I started. Holding Richmond ,   my  American Civil War / alternate history / Vampire story that is my Amazon bestseller is the closest I've come. HR has sold seven copies on two occasions.  Despite the title book of  Forgestriker   series being my bestseller it has never sold more than four copies in a day, this lack of daily sales leaves the book in fourth place for the daily sales record.

A slow month  August is all but over, and it's been a slow month for my sales. Other than one brief moment of joy when  Forgestriker  sold four copies in a night, the downward trend has continued despite the release of  Avenging Angel   and  The Cursed   on  Barnes & Noble .

Will Scotland see the truth behind the lies? Independence is an excellent idea, but to be independent you need to be able to support yourself and Scotland isn't that fortunate. The  SNP  alsdomain.weebly.com/at-the-blogstop/shell-destroy-scotland   appears to be hell-bent on wrecking their country; this is nothing to be surprised at from a bunch of egotists with no common sense.   Independence means being able to support yourself. The basis for the drive was the promise of another oil boom like the 1970s  www.ft.com/cms/s/0/b2ee7448-6a0e-11e6-a0b1-d87a9fea034f.html#axzz4ILcPkbDJ .  The oil boom won't happen, and with  Nicola Sturgeon  determined to stay in the  EU  www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/10/former-snp-cabinet-minister-warns-nicola-sturgeon-against-second/   against the wishes of her countrymen. If there were a boom, the oil would probably go to  Norway   www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/norwa...

Spirits of the past   I spent half of the day looking in the wrong area for an  RAF ghost , today.  The confusion came from knowing the station in mind started with "M."  My initial search was for     en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Machrihanish ,  this station is on the East coast, near  Glasgow . I found out my search should have been for  RAF Montrose , near  Dundee   rafmontrose.org.uk/ . The  Montrose ghost  is the ghost of the first aviator to die during #WW1   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Arthur .  Although my ghost stories are of  #WW2 , I wrote two ghost stories about the air war in Europe.  The Lost Years   www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00EXRTC3W   is about the ghost of a pilot trapped in his plane; the spirit can't be freed because the body is yet to be recovered. Amelia  www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01A93CQ1S   is the story of a nurse who left her home after her boyfriend died in a plan...

Sci-Fi bestseller It is hard to imagine being a bestseller but not selling on  Amazon . But, that is my situation, none of my hit series  Forgestriker e-books have sold on Amazon, despite selling over 670 copies on  Barnes & Noble . The last two months have been exceptions to the rule, with Amazon matching sales on B&N, mainly because B&N sales have slackened off.
