amazon $ for my book Tesla & Twain

Rather interesting to see that the book 'Tesla & Twain' is being offered for sale for rather extortionate amounts of money on Amazon USA, $129.66 & another for $143.69 & another company for $163.07 cents.
How can they justify selling it for so much?
Don’t pay these prices, contact me & I will send you a copy.

The Watchers release

I am proud to announce the release of ‘The Watchers’ on Amazon Kindle. Few paperback copies left & I didn’t want it to be unavailable, so good old kindle style it is. Super low price along with a brand new cover.
Released on super solstice 2012 it is the tale of the first humans living in the gardens of Eden, being watched over by the angels of the Lord. It should have been Paradise...

Salt Lake City

Spent April of this year in Salt Lake City for various reasons including book promotion. Managed to sell a few books which was good but what would be better is if I had an actual publisher in USA, I know I would have sales as the book Tesla & Twain was very popular on my promotion.

media seminars

Went to a media seminar yesterday at the British Libray. A discussion on how to find funding for developement of one's project. Rules & regulations were overwhelming &, of course, confusing & even the speaker said at one point that they need simplifying.
Why is it so much paperwork to get funding to make one's creative project start to happen? I know media is the biggest business in the world but apllications for project funding are longwinded & usually want one to have experience in the chosen field before anyone will support one or even consider giving a grant too. Just how does one get started? The lucky ones know somebody who can give them a leg up but an individual with a script who knows nobody in the business-just how do they go forward-the answer apparently is 'networking'.

HZV photo shoot

Had a photo shoot for the cover for the next book, I hope to release it towards the end of spring. It’s going to be a novella, working title at minute: ‘Angels & Devils’ though would like to think up something more creative.
Decided to pose for the cover with just a pair of angel wings. A back view with a silvery feel to it (not legs akimbo).
Just got to go over book one last time for spelling & grammar errors, not my favourite part of the process, but it was fun posing for the photographer today, I may not be photogenic but don’t matter as my face won’t be in it!

letting go of a movie script with hope

i joined amazon studios today. it's their version of helping writers get their movie scripts seen. SO added one of mine, a historical drama set in the 4th century, it's called 'Josephine the Monk' & it can be read on my page at amazonstudios d.elliott.
