Oh not again Alex. I really hope they find the cause soon.

Brilliant well done.

You're welcome Alex, it's a great book. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be reviewing that and the short stories when I get a chance.

I'm glad I didn't get involved although I've yet to make any kind of splash as an indie.

Ok thanks for the info. How do places like that survive with CS and KDP now I wonder?

Well if you haven't sold any for a while, why pay the fee? I was in contact with AuthorHouse a few years ago before I published. Is it any good?

Argh love that. I love the history of places and how the names change over time.

Mine was originally set in London until I realised I barely have a grip on reality and needed to throw it off world.

Damn. You can't travel to mine, I made it up.

Hah, love it when people find real life causes for things plaguing them that can actually be changed. Well done Nat.

I saw it.

Thanks.

Yes, it has been a bit full on for the last year. It wouldn't be so bad if I had anything to show for it, but with the state of my business, despite my best efforts I'm not actually making any money at the moment. None of that helps.

I would like a piece of good news that doesn't involve me going anywhere and dealing with people. Our son has won a Jack Petchey award-fantastic, but we have to go to the local theatre next week to watch him pick it up. It's a week away and I don't have to details of when we need to get there yet. Schools are notorious for leaving details to the last minute. On the day before that our daughter has a careers thing we are expected to go to for hours in the evening. It'll be crowded. I'm having a "don't do crowds" month at the moment. I'm currently in a state where I worry about everything. It's not healthy.

Thanks Alex. I've got myself into a situation where I don't really know where to go from here. I could do with some good news on anything soon.

Brilliant news. Well done.

Dizziness could be many things other than anxiety. It's one of those illnesses that because nothing shows up on a blood test it's difficult to pin point the cause.

I'm annoyed about the PayPal payments, they went from the wrong account which isn't terrible but because of that I'd already tried to query it with PayPal. As of last night nothing was showing up on my PayPal status screen for queries. I don't know what's going on with that. I don't like unknowns.

I've applied for a blue badge to get me into disabled parking spaces. I'll be laughed out of the application process but enough people said I should try. Again EDS is a thing that is visible to the naked eye if you know what you're looking for but not always taken seriously. My diagnosis and treatment from the last 20 years has been private. The NHS tried to say I had depression and nothing else. So I paid osteopaths and a podiatrist. There are plenty of people leaping out of in disabled spaces round here with no visible disability. I hobble in pain with dislocated joints and I'm out of breath. But the chances of me getting a blue badge I've been told by one person in the know is virtually nil. So we'll see.

Fabulous well done.

Nice one Alex. May it bring you sales for AEFAE.

Turns out it was my book covers, must be the exchange rate. And why Paypal chose that account to pay for them I don't know. But anyway my two book covers for £55 in total. Not bad eh?

I would just like to moan about pain and fatigue and the fact that it took me half an hour to shamble half a mile this morning with what could have been Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome related dislocated (or similar) toe and a walking stick and all the other pain and fatigue I have at the moment.

Also my vision is rubbish.

Also I think there was fraud on our joint current account. Unless I have signed up for something with the same reference number that would take £29 on 1st and £25 on 2nd out of our account and claim to be a direct debit for a paypal payment. I've been racking my brain and I can't think what it might be that would be a recurring payment. Unless it's my two book covers, which is fine, but not the correct account.
