Am I allowed to boast?

Hi .J.
The first book is for say 10 to 12 year olds and is non-gender specific.
The Ashton Road Gang are for about the same age. They are the adventures of a group of 10 year old boys growing up in the North of England in the 1950's so I suppose they could be described as being for boys. Having said that, my daughters loved reading them.
The other books are more in the Fairy story genus. Not finished editing them though yet. Again for 10 to 12 year olds. Though the next book out my well be for younger than that, especially the first story which was written for a friend's 7 years old grandson.

Thank you again, my granddaughter is 8 and is not very "boylike" but it sounds as though the other one may be good and definatlely the new one coming..

Thank you

Boasting again. Next book due out this week.
This is the cover. This one is for slightly younger readers, say 8 to 10.

Cover looks lovely, must be good to see your books in print, clever you.

The book is now available on Amazon. The thrill is just as much as the first time.

Boasting again. the Fifth Book is now on Amazon.
They set the price by the way not us. Not managed to buy a copy myself yet though, We need another book to get free postage and cannot find one we want.

I wrote a book about my life in gardening starting when I first was a garden boy, We used to sell it when I did my talk "Memories of a Garden Boy" and 50p from each sale (£4.00" went to the BHF as I had heart surgery some years ago. We gave  the BHF just over £1000.00 but I stopped when I gave up speaking then we found the book on the internet at £10.00 plus posting. I have now attached it to my blog site so that anyone can download it is a button if you want to make a donation to the BHF.

We are not taking any Royalties on these books.
When I sell plants at various things I give the profits to the Flying Ambulance people. Never know when we might need one and living here we probably would since the Police have trouble finding this area.

Hi Palustris,  Please do not think for a moment I was suggesting you were making money from your books , it was just that I was hurt to find my books on sale at twice the price for someone to be making money from them. Mine were never published I paid a local printer to print 250 at a time .

[Palustris]

Never occurred to me. I was just pointing out that the price is up to Amazon who publish the things. Since I only expected Family to buy copies it seemed a bit cheeky to add more to the cost of the things.
Must be very irritating to see someone else making money from your hard work.
And now back to proof reading the next book.

[Palustris]

The next two books are now out. Taken a while, the editor has been very busy.

Believe it or not I have just received the next book for proof reading. Wonder if the thrill ever gets any less.

[Palustris]

Book is now ready for purchase. Amazon set the price, not us.

[Palustris]

The house sale has fallen through, the weather is lousy, my arthritis is bad and depression is an ever present threat. BUT, the next book is almost ready for publishing. Just a few more bits of proof reading to go.
