Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 510 comments 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.

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 510 comments Do good reviews translate into sales?

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

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 510 comments 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.

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


message 8: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 510 comments If you have good reason, yes!

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

Tim Casey (TimothyOO) | 3 comments I like the idea of balance, so I should actually be grateful for the guy that bombed me with a 1 star.

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


message 14: by Will (new)

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 510 comments 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.

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

Will Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 510 comments 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 Macmillan Jones (willmacmillanjones) | 510 comments Nice one, Tim. I hope that they were paid downloads...
