Another week goes by

The last but one post reached 18 views which is the record so far. I'm wondering whether to start a group for little-read bloggers on this site just so we can compare...

In contrast, the last post has stayed stubbornly at 5. I've already speculated that the 5 figure results from some automated reading of posts, as it always appears soon after posting. So this might mean that no real person has read it at all. My only reader might be a software program. Could be a story in that.

Been following the fuss on Kindle authors because Amazon and some other platforms have had a clear out of 'erotic' stories, aka pornography. While not in favour of much censorship, I cannot get wound up about this - the spectacle of LOTS of people writing this material to get money was not very inspiring. I've just said as much in a forum and expect to get lambasted for it.

The detective novel has sold 6 copies without promotion, including 3 in America - unusual for me. If I now reveal my true identity, will there be a Rowling effect? What do you think, my software companion?
