UK Amazon Kindle Forum discussion

Look on the kindle forum - discussions. Scroll down to the foot of the page - Meet out Authors is one of the forums there. April indie Authors is just one of the threads. You can start your own. I'm off in a few minutes. If you still can't find it let me know.

I used Google to find them ;)

This made me laugh

;)

I wonder if anyone on GRs is a member of http://www.pemberley.com

*whistles nonchalantly*

Cor - I think you should whistle chalantly! Well done on thinking of that!

Ooohhh nice one!

Thanks, now I just need a mole at Pemberly...

Arseholes and elbows and never the twain shall meet...

Motherism.

*wonders what Patti is going on about*

Methinks Patti was wandering without the brain cell last night. I found traces in the Zoo as well...

Yeah I wondered how much she had had to drink actually. Some very random comments have popped up in various places!!

Maybe her account has been hijacked!

Doubt it, she is a welsh canadian afterall

Just made a wordcloud for Pied and Prodigious...

What is a word cloud? I don't understand them, is it just for advertising?

Cor, that's a good'un Darren. Can you use it in your advertising at all? It would have made a good cover, though the one you have is definitely more Jane Austen!

A word cloud is a graphic representation of the frequency of words used in any given text, web site, etc. Bigger the word, the more often it's used.

I use http://www.wordle.net to create mine.

Not sure using it as a cover image would be a good idea, as it would get confused with the title and author name!

Cool

I could have some fun with that site

My sales of Serpent have plummeted over the last few days. Can anyone see anything wrong with the Amazon pages???

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Serpent-Glass...

http://www.amazon.com/Serpent-Glass-T...

Nope. co.uk one seems to be fine.

.com looks fine to me. I see I bought it on the 13th of February.

I've been mentioning it. In fact that's probably been the kiss of death!

Thanks for checking. Strange... Still, P&P is doing better...

Keep mentioning!

Someone has added all my characters to Shelfari. How kind! :)

It was not I - I haven't a clue what that means!

Edit - just added Serpent to a thread on fantasy and to the Big Forum's just finished, just started thread.

Thanks, Ignite!

I've added lots of "shelves" to SitG and p&p so it should help GR genre browsers find them...if anyone uses it ;)

It made sense to me at the time...

Was there alcohol involved?

Lack of sleep, actually.

Lack of brain cell due to lack of sleep. . .

Is it just me, or has the GR notification icon been acting a bit incorrectly for the last week or so?

For those who have read Pied and Prodigious, I've just redone the tags for the books on both the UK and US site:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pied-and-Prod...

http://www.amazon.com/Pied-and-Prodig...

If you agree with the tags, can you click them? They really help make the book more visible.

Thank you!

And thank you to Kew for the latest review! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Done that! Two positive reviews - come on people, read it, it's great!

Thanks, Ignite!

I'm going to switch the book from Parodies & Classics to Parodies & Regency Romance. Way too many books under classics to ever become visible!

I burst into laughter when Dicey emerged from the pond...



:0)

Good, good! I'm glad you were excessively diverted! Interesting to know which parts made readers laugh out loud.

I think if you highlight nice bits on the kindle that Amazon puts them up on the page with the book - if enough people highlight the same bits.

I loved 'how much I urgently admire and love you' - I think from memory it was ardently in the original. The urgency is so much more - erm, urgent though!

Well, he had missed out on a lovely dessert...

OK, no sales in the US for some reason...anyone know of any Jane Austen forums? I've joined the biggest one on GR...

Maybe Americans don't like regency parodies...

Too English a concept for them maybe. I wonder if they revere Miss Austen so much that the thought of a mickey take is abhorent?

Possibly...still, Rachel Abbott made most of her sales in the UK (I even matched her in the US for a while!), so maybe I should focus on the UK...

Not sure how that helps me, though ;)

Nice! First page recommendation from KUF...

http://www.kuforum.co.uk/ebooks/recom...

Thanks to Kew for the vote that got me onto that page. If anyone else is on KUF then please do recommend my book! :)

Recommended :o)

Thanks!!

Ha! "Pied and Prodigious" at #12 in UK Kindle parodies chart, 8 places ahead of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". ;)

I should jolly well think so too! ;)

I spent yesterday trying to start a new story. Words written? Two. Sometimes it's like that...

Today I shall attempt to write the whole first chapter!
