I, Author
I don't seek fame or fortune. That's not why I write. I love to write because I like to tell stories. Now, I'm not saying I'm the worlds best wordsmith. Far from that delusional thought indeed. But I do think I'm middling above average. When I see how successful E L James has become and how poorly her works are constructed and worded leaves me banging my head against a brick wall.
How the hell can she be worth $75,000,000 and I not a single dollar?
Luck? Alot of luck and alot of horny people? Who knows.
But with the millions of books that are available on Amazon(quite a number of free books too)its a strong and soul destroying job to get your works see by the masses.
That's were alot of marketing and heavenly luck comes into play.
If anybody reading this would like to pay my website a visit and look at my middling to average ebooks and give them a read that would be great.
They're priced at either $1.57 or £0.99

The Man Who Found God
I have a short story on perma-free on kindle. I would love for as many people as possible to read it and leave a review for it. Whether that be good or bad. The story is only 5,000 words long and is a humorous story of one man's lack of self-belief.
Here's the link.
