Early Performances

Well, I’d said to myself that if I made £25 by Christmas I’d judge my book to be a reasonable success. The Ebook launched on the 9th and has already made me £14.58, plus another £3.08 in paperback sales – and there’s been one paperback sold in Germany, earning me €1.48 (don’t ask me what […]
