Dear Aspiring Authors/ Thank You

Dear Aspiring Writers:I'm here to tell you that even without a literary agent, publisher or professional editor, with hard work and dedication you CAN be a bestselling author. You alone can make it and be successful.So I may not be a multi-millionnaire or the next J K Rowling. I may not write full time or sign books for people in the street. No, my books can't be found in Waterstones and people don't know my name.I have days where I ask myself what the point is and if the above will ever be true...But this weekend is proof that I don't need all that to be 'successful'. Across three days just like any other, I set Aeon Infinitum to run on Amazon for free, expecting perhaps a maximum of 100 downloads in total. Well, 500 downloads later I am in awe.Aeon Infinitum: Run For Your Life was written in 30 days last year. I wrote, edited, published and designed the cover myself, with no external help at all other than BETA readers, and no qualifications in writing or editing. I'm now an Amazon Bestseller at #5 in the US and #8 in the UK - Alien Invasion (Sci-Fi).Believe in yourself. Believe in your writing. You CAN do this. All you need is a small idea. Mould it, love it and find the motivation to keep writing and studying your craft even when others put you down.Being an Author is THE best job in the world. Thank you to everyone who made those 500 downloads possible. I hope you enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.E.x
