It’s been a (little) while.

It’s been a (little) while.

An interesting last 2-3 weeks in terms of book stuff.  I tried the free advertising tools, with marginal impact. And then, grrr, I bit the bullet; I paid for advertising. It was an offer. It was cheap. It’s still ongoing. Once again, this too appears to have had only a marginal impact (so far).

Undeterred, I’m painstakingly focused on my PLAN A.

Plan A is ambitious.

I’m 20,000 words into book 2. I’m going to work on book 3 as well. Hopefully, by July next year, the second and the third will be out. It’s an exciting challenge and I’m not making promises, but I’d like to give it a good go. We’ll see. 

One of the problems I foresee will be sourcing an artist to create two surrealist covers. I want my covers to be in a similar vein to the first. At Uni, I had a wonderful Dominique Appia poster on my wall - Entre les Trous de la memoire. I love this kind of stuff. I was fascinated by some book I read as a young kid where the illustrator drew a man painting on easel. The picture on the easel was an image of the man painting himself.  And so, within this picture, was another perpetuated image of the man painting. So, on and on it went into the distance, each picture of the man painting, getting smaller and smaller. I was five and freaked out! (And, it distracted me from continually defacing my mother’s world atlas with large dinosaurs.)

So, this search for an artist may cost £££, if I'm to get what I want.

It’s been a little while since I last blogged. More coming. I love it.

Big Thanks to Steve Morris for a 5 star review. J
