Interview With Lucas Bale

There's a new science fiction author making waves and his name is Lucas Bale. I first heard about Lucas on the Kindle Users Forum when distinguished author, Alex Roddie, recommended him. I quickly warmed to Lucas as he got to work engaging in discussions about review ethics, the definition of a bestseller and other interesting topics. I am delighted to have the opportunity to introduce Lucas here.

Where is Straight Out of University?

I have temporarily removed Straight Out of University from sale. The reason is that I've never really been happy with the proofreader's work. He's someone I hired for a one-off job and not one of my usual team. I have decided not to sell any more copies until a more professional editor has looked at it.

Things More Newsworthy than My Book

I am disappointed that, so far, the press have not featured the launch of my novel, My Granny Writes Erotica - Threesome.

Since I started self-publishing in 2011, I have been keeping notes for a worst-case-scenario-style eBook about self-publishing.

Upon becoming successful, hundreds of authors write books called 'How I reached a Squillion downloads'. Not wanting to follow the trend, I have decided to publish a book about the things I avoided in order to get to my squillion.
