New Books

As usual, I didn't let mere failure interrupt my creative flow. Just because virtually no one read my books was no reason to stop writing them. It probably should have been but when you're an undiscovered genius you don't see things that way.

I wrote more books in the Lost Man series, my hero not always triumphing in his fight against tyranny. Ted Dexter fought the Germans, the Italians and the Japanese and even did a few shady jobs closer to home. A few people read about his adventures on their KIndles.

In an effort to boost my literary career, I printed up copies of some of my books and hired stalls at craft fairs. The cost of printing far outweighed the money I made and it was a dispiriting experience. Essentially, people go to craft fairs to buy homemade scones and cakes, not self-published books.

Then, I got a teaching job in the frozen wastes of North Yorkshire.
