Thanks Alex. I'm happy for any sale and have to smile at every one of them as they're few and far between. I sold something in Italy, apparently!
Well done Erica. I hope it works out for you. I still haven't got enough confidence for that.
You know me, I don't sell books other than the ones we buy. But I did see 7 of one and 5 of the other sell via Ingram in the last 30 days.
That’s interesting, thanks Dale.
I had two distributed in January and nothing since. I don't write that kind of thing I guess, whatever that kind of thing is.Pet one:

You're probably both right. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had these emails. I did briefly wonder if I was missing out by not taking them up on their offer. It's so difficult to know who to trust. The pirates have done a lot of damage and they didn't even have the decency to wear eye patches.Arrrgggghhh.

My nephew has Asperger's (he's in his late 20's now) and I see some small (and some not so small) tendencies within my close family members that years ago would not have been recognized as autism.

That's the reality for a lot of people, I'm sure. Years ago, certainly here in the UK, autism wasn't mentioned.
I'd never received any until recent weeks when I've received a few. I read one or two. I don't like the tone of some of them. "If you're serious about marketing your book..." As if not taking them up on their offer is damaging to your writing career and their review is the one that's going to sway the reader.
I hope your dad recovers as easily as my father in law seems to have done, Sam.
There is a pattern here. As soon as you find something that gives you traction, something comes along and casually throws a spanner into the works. Throw it back. Maybe it’ll brain an organisation into submission and provide some stability. (I doubt it but I can fantasise.)
My father in law had both eyes done last month. I didn’t even know he had cataracts. He didn’t tell us until he had a date for the surgery.
This sounds like it could be a pain.
Although I knew the spectrum was wider than Rain Man, I made the mistake of assuming I couldn’t be autistic if I was a functioning member of society. Even if I’ve struggled all my life with the expectations of others of how I should behave or perceive the world and what I should do and how I should think. I have hidden so much of who I am from the world because in my experience the world somehow doesn’t approve. I need to read more about it and hope I don’t get dismissed when I ask for a referral. I probably am better off waiting for my daughter’s diagnosis. She’s young enough to be not instantly dismissed.
