Some time ago, I wrote a mad romp of a novel*, but it was so off-the-wall that I stuck it in the famous cyber drawer and forgot about it. But more recently, I dug it out and sent it to a writer friend, and she absolutely loved it. So does my publisher. It comes out for the first time on pre-order soon, and I'm really excited about it.
As I've said before, I hate, hate, hate self-promotion, and I'm terrible at it. I've only told one or two of my friends about this novel. But here on my blog I feel I can say, please give it a try when it comes out. It will be only 99p on pre-order on Kindle (August in paperback), and I'd love it if you would buy it. Please?
And if you don't buy it, thank you anyway for reading this.
* Original title: The Virgin of the Hen House (hence the chickens), but I was firmly persuaded that that was a bad idea. I think they were right.
Frances - I just happened to see your post. That's brilliant - congratulations on a new book. Look forward to reading it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rosemary!
DeleteGrand I'll order it.
ReplyDeleteI also promise to give an objective and unbiased glowing review.
PS. Just been to Amazon and it isn't showing but THIS IS
DeleteAdrian, it won't be on pre-order unto next week, but thank you!
DeleteBloody hell Frances, you need an agent or a carer. Pop a link in your blog post to the page in Amazon. It is easier than me using HTML code to pop links in comments. Spesshally now the coders are gowing HTML5 And what used to be a B for bold letters is now STRONG. Why is strong an improovment on a Buh at both ends of wot I want to typ in thik?
DeleteYew will still get a review saying it's the best thing I've read this year. It is enuff to drive a man sp eshall kneeds is this skipting biziness.
You're very sweet, Adrian, but I can't put a link in until the books is up on Amazon, which I'm told should be Monday. (That is, if I understood a fifth of your comment!)
DeleteOK.
DeleteYay!!! I've been waiting for a new book of yours but somehow thought it would take much longer.
ReplyDeleteI'll check out the link Adrian posted.
Thank you, Meike I really appreciate it.
DeleteI'll look forward very much to reading this, Frances - huge congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThat's really kind, Joanna. Thank you.
DeleteOf course I'll be joining the queue despite my loathing of the term pre-order which is a complete nonsense.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite right about that word, Graham, but I'm stuck with it! But it does mean the book isn't out yet...thank you very much in advance for your support.
DeleteI will definitely get it for my Kindle app on iPad. Please let us know when it is available. I will promote it to my book club too if I like it !! (Sure I will.)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Frances. You should be able to order it next week, and it will be released in August.
DeleteDone! Ordered it (pre-order) five minutes ago and am eager to read. PS...I have all your books and have read them twice!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jill. It means a lot. I hope you enjoy this one.
DeleteI'll keep a lookout. I have to buy my Kindle books from the US/international but as your other books found their way there I suppose this one will as well. (Don't hesitate to announce again on your blog when it's actually available.)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, DT. This will will launch in August in paperback. Pre-order Kindle version available from Amazon.com from next week.
