Progress Report...

Well, it is summer holiday time, and my writing has been put on the back-burner after a few weeks of enforced side-lining (also known as the kids' School Holidays...!). As I tend to write on the dining table ,it is virtually impossible to concentrate with the girls running around, screaming at the top of their voices. Instead, I have entered a world of cartoons and soft-play-areas...!As part of this lay-off, I was privileged to spend a couple of weeks in "not-so-sunny" Scotland, exploring the area around Ayr. As a result, I paid a brief visit to Largs, primarily to visit the "Vikingar" museum with the kids, but also as a bit of a run down "Memory-Lane," revisiting the town that I deployed from as part of my role in submarine rescue almost 30 years ago whilst serving in the Royal Navy. It is strange how the memory plays tricks on you - I remember the seaside town as being quiet, drab, with nothing of interest, but it turned out to be a vibrant tourist location, pretty, even in the rain.For those who have not already done so, read about what I got up to in the Largs area all those years ago by reading my book,"Beyond the Waves: My Royal Navy Adventures"available from Amazon Worldwideor https://ajheasman.wixsite.com/author.The Memoir Series currently consists of 2 books (Book #3 is currently about half-way through the first draft, and expected to be published before the end of the year). Both books have been selling surprisingly well, certainly out-selling the forecasted sales predicted by a specialist traditional publisher.Combined sales for the month of August alone broke 140 editions with at least another 80 in "borrows" from the Amazon Prime / Kindle Unlimited scheme. And sales seem to be increasing month on month.A big "THANK YOU" to all of you who have already added to these figures. If you liked what you read, tell your friends and colleagues - spread the word far and wide. Thanks again.Progress on book number three in the series is going well. Currently, the first draft is about half-way through the story. The "working title" is "Gone Diving: My Adventures Above and Below the Waves" but it might all change as things progress.To ensure that you stay up-to-date with progress and anticipated publication dates, sign-up to my website at https://ajheasman.wixste.com/author, or follow my Facebook page and Twitter page.
