A short experiment


Anyone who’s read my bio either on my main website or my Amazon profile will know that I have a ‘secret’ occupation in public service. My employers have had a hold over my life and I have had to have my occupation as a writer approved by them: it was approved on the condition that –
1: I spent no more than 16 hours per month doing it, and2: I did not divulge what my main occupation was, as to do so might result in me selling more books.
In a recent review, condition 1 was removed – I had been ignoring it for several years, anyway. That left number 2.
As of midnight tonight (GMT on 8 February 2013) I cease to be employed by them. I can now reveal that ‘them’ is the Metropolitan Police Service. I have completed 30 years service and it’s time for me to go, so I thought I would try this: now that I have revealed my secret, will it result in a glut of e-book sales? I very much doubt it, but it would be nice if it did.
The links to my e-books are here
Go on, prove that my employer was justly concerned: buy them in their thousands.
(If I sell even one I’d be surprised).
