I am a self-published writer with a dozen books under his belt, half a dozen of which have been taken by my local Library. The chance to compare notes would be briliant.
Feel free to share your oeuvre details with us, we are always happy to support other FTNers.
Thank you for the invitation: I am a writer not a salesman and feel shy of 'pushing' my books at other people.
I have seven novels currently available from Lulu.com, six of which also available on Amazon for the Kindle. Sample chapters from each can be read on my blog at
http://mbc1955.wordpress.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , Categories - Novels.
These consist of 'Even in Peoria', 'Hoops for Hounds' and 'Pay for All', a trilogy of ironic/comic chase thrillers also available in a hardback omnibus that, if I say so myself, is a sheer delight to look at: 'Tempus Fugitive','Tempus Infinitive' and 'Tempus Expletive', aka 'The Tempus Trilogy', which are comedies with an SF slant, featuring time travel, parallel universes, the perils of having a Mad Scientist for an older brother, and cricket. Also a bit of Northern Soul.
My most recent book is 'The Revenge of the Purple Puffin', again a comic spoof, about a Britain that has had to learn to live with superheroes.
I also have two non-fiction books available - 'Walking in Circles', about fellwalking in the Lake District, and 'Red Exile', a diary book about the 1995/96 season from the perspective of a Manchester United supporter who, believing he'll be unable to get tickets during extensive ground reconstruction, opts to follow a local non-League club for a year.
As always, I welcome any feedback (preferably accompanied by sales!), and do do autographed copies, though it's the unsigned ones that are rarer...
