Why don't you drop a link in your author thread?"

I'm not sure if I've done this right! I now seem to have a Facebook author page with a Goodreads link on it?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Went on to your profile, and the first thing I saw was 'Philip Whiteland likes Philip Whiteland'. Glad to hear that....

Well, we get on, that's all I can say!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

That helps...

[Patti (baconater)]

Can you give me the link to his page please GL?

I'd like to like him too.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'll do that when I get home as I can only get Facebook on the Tablet in work and I don't know how to do it from there.

[Patti (baconater)]

No worries. When you have a minute. Thank you.

I think this might be it:

[Patti (baconater)]

So it is! Thanks Phil!

Rather exclusive at the moment. Cozy. Just the three of us. ;)

Lovely photo, by the way.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

We'll have to do up the decor and have a page-warming party tonight.

[Patti (baconater)]

Great idea. It needs curtains.

Oh no, not again!

Yes, well, you could hold the meetings of my fan club in a telephone box ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I'll get in some snacks - Twiglets maybe?

My, we'll have to move to a kiosk at this rate!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

We could meet in my bathroom - would have room for expansion....

[Philip (sarah)]

6 now.... as I have also suffered the sad fate of becoming invisible.:>(

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I can see you all!

[Philip]

If you want to see a classic example of invisibility, go to the 'Hoot Your Horn' thread on Night Reading and see what happens when I promote my recent review ;-)

[Patti (baconater)]

I would if you'd post a link to it....

[Philip (sarah)]

Lol.

Good point, Patti. Try this:

[Patti (baconater)]

Ta, Phil.

That really is a lovely review. It's nice that Amazon is posting them across sites now.

It is a good review, isn't it? I'm very appreciative of anyone taking the time and trouble to do this. As you say, it is handy that Amazon are now sharing reviews across the sites.

[Philip]

It's actually got worse on Night Reading. For a laugh, I posted a comment that said "Was it something I said/didn't say ;-)"...and they ignored that too!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

They are too busy talking about automated editing. Lazy sods!

[Philip]

Gingerlily (lovable author) wrote: "They are too busy talking about automated editing. Lazy sods!"

So it would appear, GL. I don't pretend to understand it.

I don't know how well that lot are doing, but I would be willing to bet that I've sold more copies than a number of them

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Of course Philip. We all know you're a writer on the level of Tolstoy. (I was going to say Dostoywhatever but I can't be bothered to look up the spelling)

[Philip]

Gingerlily (lovable author) wrote: "Of course Philip. We all know you're a writer on the level of Tolstoy. (I was going to say Dostoywhatever but I can't be bothered to look up the spelling)"

Ah no, I don't think so. However, I think on Night Reading it's not about how many you've sold but whether you are a 'writer' in the eyes of the rest of them. I don't think I qualify ;-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Would Tolstoy?

[Philip]

Gingerlily (lovable author) wrote: "Would Tolstoy?"

Possibly, at a push (or Pushkin)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

So don't let them pushkin you around! Do not ask for whom the bell tolstoys, but rejoyce in your abilities.

True, but Dostoevsky know about it?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

He's turning in his Graves.

[Philip]

Gingerlily (lovable author) wrote: "He's turning in his Graves."

Not as Hardy as he should have been, then?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

What the Dickens do you mean by that?

[Philip]

Gingerlily (lovable author) wrote: "What the Dickens do you mean by that?"

You would Kafka ask someone else.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Is that any Hemingway to talk to a lady?

[Philip]

Asimov, it doesn't matter ;-)

[Philip]

Further to my hissy fit about Night Reading above, I'm pleased to say that Gerry McCulloughhas restored my faith in human nature and responded. No-one else, mind you, but it's a start ;-)

Thanks Gerry.

Are you going out Wooding and Fielding?

[Philip]

Waugh(t) are you on about?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Oh it doesn't Mather...

[Jay-me (Janet)]

I think I'll take up residence here, I've changed all the paintwork to magnolia.................

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I have some nice black and purple curtains with green spots.

You can't see me I've blended into the background ................

[Patti (baconater)]

Play peek a boo, Janet!
