[Eva]

Hey I've seen its been published by Raider Publishing International, i've found a lot of things online saying it's a scam. How did you find them?

[Sharon]

There is a lo of stories about them, they breached their contract with Sarah and I read a lot of other people to.

I thought it would have been put on at the same time I am going to contact Adam, for a start I haven't recieved my Complimentary 10 books!

[Sharon]

No its not vanity press its independant or Indie for short, they were really good up until Christmas and then I got no replies to my emails, until I threatened legal action then I got my book released err letting me know it would be available from the 12th July would have been useful too!

Yes, more shocked last time I did a search nothing came up!

So am I, as to whether I would use them again, I don't think they dare mess me about like that again I really went to town with them, bought the legal guns into play!

It rather depends on whether Sapphire Star Publishing take me on with Light The Seventh Candle or I miraculously snare an Agent!

I have just emailed Adam direct asking how I get the photo, and stuff through to Amazon and where my 10 copies are!

I kept telling people on twitter it would escape! I just put a notice out on twitter that the paperback escaped! please retweet, oh bum that means I have to change my goodreads status over to author now and do my author page on amazon, facebook, finish my website I could have been doing this if I'd known!

Have you tried greyhart press, and kohl publishing, both based in the uk.

No lol my daughter was hoping for a book launch in New York, dream on Jo! No they have offices in London too!

And no I hadn't heard of them, I was hoping to get a contract with Pegasus were they paid me but they were only prepared to give me a similar contract for more money with less royalties!

Oh dear, yesterday it was our wedding anniversary and we have been so busy that we both forgot about it. Does that mean that romance is finished with us? I hope it's not a bad omen! Good morning anyway!!

Morning Eva, if it's any consolation I almost forgot my son's birthday in all the excitement of finding my book for sale on Amazon! I sent him an email in the end after trying to telephone him several times!

[Sharon]

What are you two like ;o)

Morning, god what a night! I was up until past midnight working on my website! Nearly finished, I'm going to put the mermaid in the pool after first doing a sweep of earwigs naturally and then get back to the website.

I spoke to Jo and Claire my sister last night Claire went straight to FB and put a notice on her wall to all her friends to buy The Thin Blue Line - because its her sisters debut novel. She is chuffed to little mint balls for me, bet the other sister will be green with envy becase I know she will have been telling people it was all a joke! Ha put that in your pipe and smoke it Christine!

[Sharon]

Morning Ladies

So sorry I haven't been here for ages. I have no excuse except that life seems to get in the way sometimes. I wish I could say I've been busy writing, but that would be a lie. What I have been doing is lying awake at night trying to decide whether the kitchen I've designed is going to work! LOL. How very mundane of me!

Anyway, I hope you gals are doing well? Sarah, are you a millionaire yet? Lots of books sales I hope!

I was wondering whether any of you would have a look at a chapter excerpt? Its not very long, but as I've said before I've been struggling with the sex - something I honestly never thought I'd hear myself say! I've written something, its completely unedited, and honestly, I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Any thoughts?

Morning Shazzyloulou

How can we refuse an offer like that! Of course we will read the sex scene, and I know how you feel, writing sex is not easy.

Did it make you hot under the collar when you wrote it?
If the answer to that is yes the chances are it will do the same to others.

What are you like, worring about your kitchen! Lol I am having the same reservations but it's not keeping me awake at nights! I'm just going to buy the units and try to put stuff in the right place, I know I want my oven at eye level and my dishwasher under the draining board and remember not to put the fridge near the cooker! I am putting my gas hob in the island directly facing the sink and with the minimu passage in between it should be a case of simply turning around for the sink! WE HOPE!

And no, not a millionaire yet unless I won the euro millions on Tuesday night and don't know about it! My sisters friend said she would buy a copy - she likes a good chick lit! Please god let people say nice things about my baby!

[Sharon]

My kitchen doesn't dissimilar to yours. Except my fridge may end up next to my oven.... we have an awkward slanted, beamed roof that means tall cupboards can only go in certain places. I want my oven at eye level too. I'm having an island but it will have a sink in it on one side and a breakfast bar type thing on the other. We thought about putting the hob on the island but I also want an chimney/extractor and the ceiling is too high and awkward to put it in the middle of the room.

We're buying ours from b&q and getting it shipped - same kitchen in ikea here is over €2000 yet is only around £700-£800 in B&q plus £100-£200 to deliver. Much better since Simon had a heart attack when I told him how expensive kitchens are - men are so stupid! A friend of ours has a b&q trade card so we get 20% off, but even without the discount its less than half the price.

As for the sex scene - kinda. I think may be I was analysing it too much and making sure I didn't use expressions like "down there," and other silly things.

I think maybe it might be too short and could do with embellishing.... not sure...

[Sharon]

oh, ps - tiles are going in today! I drove for two hours across the mountains to get them home. We were slightly overladen - approx a ton, yes a ton, of tiles in the boot!! The journey normally only takes 45 mins! Ooops!

[Sarah]

Interesting that, B & Q will take care of the shipping or have you had to arrange that? Lol hardly surprising we have similar ideas is it both of us are Sharon's stainless steel cooker and chimney by any chance?

Lol been there with floor tiles in Normandy 42 square metres- luckily I have a 4x4, though the suspension groaned as the last box went in - didn't weigh them no idea of my payload, best not to ask under circumstances of this nature!

[Sarah]

Darkangel wrote: "What are you two like ;o)"

Been twittering excerpts from chapter one of TBL! Got 1 RT already!

[Eva]

Im so glad I dont have to worry about anything like that.

[Sharon]

Sarah wrote: "stainless steel cooker and chimney by any chance? "

yep!! LOL!


Thanks for the comments ladies. I think I need to re-write it. I'm not happy with it but found myself just sort of staring at it for ages. Leave it and come back to it is probably best policy!

[Sharon]

Sorry been distracted here at work, have retweeted Sarah and linked the book ;o)

[Sharon]

Sarah we need some tags for your book. How about mystery, chic lit, romcom etc. what else would give it a good boost?

[Eva]

Hey Sarah, I really want to get the book but I want it for the kindle, when will it available?

Hey Shazzy, it's ok, Sarah gave me good pointers to fix my one, print it out. It's a goos idea, i think seeing in paper it's easier to correct. I keep adding more bit to the christmas story if anyone wants to have a look.

Ps: sarah, im not sure I know what you meant about frist party, do you mean present tense? I find it really hard to write, I always switch back to past when i least expect it and it's a nightmmare to fix.

[Sharon]

Sorry Ladies, just popping to Ann Summers have to get some Duo Balls for a leaving present, even though most places are sold out. LOL

[Eva]

[Sharon]
