Someone stroked my ego, and I didn't even know!

[Will]

I wasn't aware this had been posted.

But my ego is terribly grateful, and agreed to get out of bed today as a result.

You'll have to remember to mail those guys the money you promised them.

Congrats, by the way. It's a better reason to get out of bed than many I can think of.

He lives somewhere in Lincolnshire, I believe. I'd probably have to pay him in cabbages

[Will]

Do good reviews translate into sales?

[Melki]

I don't actually know, but I'm pretty sure they don't HURT sales.

[Will]

Well, on the Amazon forums, they reckon that unless you get a poor review there's insufficient balance for the good reviews to be taken at face value.

[Melki]

So you want me to read your book and write a lousy review?

[Will]

If you have good reason, yes!

(It will balance all the five star ones. Examines fingertips modestly)

[Melki]

Subtle, Will. Very subtle.

[Will]

As a brick, normally...

[Tim]

I like the idea of balance, so I should actually be grateful for the guy that bombed me with a 1 star.

Admiring shiny new ISBN for the second book in my series.

Out 15 April...

[Melki]

Wait! I'm confused (even more so than usual...)
Is The Banned Underground your first or second book?

[Will]

Banned Underground- The Amulet of Kings is the first. Second, in 4 weeks now(Quells incipient panic) is The Banned Underground - The Mystic Accountants. Third, now in final stages for November 2011 will be; The Banned Underground - The Vampire Mechanic, with The Banned Underground - Bass'd Out ( Sex and thugs and Rock n Roll) completing the first half of the series. The last is due for release this time next year, as it's only half written.

There will always be one, as soon as you start to make an impression.

Will - "I'd probably have to pay him in cabbages."

I'd like to be there to see that . . .

[Will]

So, the second book is out:

The Mystic Accountants

So far to a deafening silence.

When do I start to panic?

Good stuff Will, I had 10,000 downloads on Amazon last weekend and now have a half dozen new reviews, a mixed bag and I'm happy about it.

[Will]

Nice one, Tim. I hope that they were paid downloads...
