What do you find interesting?

 Blockbuster

Money talks
This afternoon on WhatsApp, I was approached by another attractive young lady who said she wished to be my friend.
We hadn't been talking more than half an hour, when she said she has a "private" account, and sent me the contact info; from this I considered this to mean a sex chat line. I have nothing against the girls, or how they get thier money. These days, it is hard to get a job with so many illegal immigrants.
Perhaps, if she'd taken time to get to know me, I may have accepted her offer.
As we began the chat, I asked her a simple question, "What do you ind interesting about me?" To which she did not answer, but changed the chat content. Following this, I said, "I'm willing to chat about most things, but money." After I didn't rush at her offer, she stopped the chat

Starmer OUT

 Illegal Immigrants 

Rats deserting a sinking ship
The way Labour are heading, there won't be a party left at the next election to fight for. 
There are so many defections that Starmer won't be able to rely on the illegal immigrant voters he's allowing to enter the country to save the party he destroyed.
A quote comes to mind when I see the defections "Rats desert a sinking ship," in this case the ship has had its bottom ripped out, and the candidates realise this with each propostion put forward by Rachel Reeves. Her mistakes have lost more voters than Yvonne Cooper welcoming the immigrants, and Sarah Rayner's rants together

This is not a SCAM

  Alan Place - Book Marketing Consultant

What makes me different?
Reently, I wrote a post on what I consider to be the book marketeer scam, in that case why am I putting my services for sale?
I am different to the rest in several ways.

What are the differences?
A) - I will be honest with you.
B) - I will charge little compared to other people.
C) - I have real qualifications.
HONESTY
My charges are small as I won't lead you on with false promises; I will be brutally honest, after 15 years as an Indie Writer, I learned a lot of things about the publishing trade.

COST
My charge is the cost of an eBook from my stock.

QUALIFICATIONS
I was a writer for over 15 years, with many stories to my name, including a series of eBooks which sold over 15,000 copies. I am an awardwinning writer.


The collapse of Horny Devil Publishing

 When my writing began

A Terrible site
Since I turned down the offer to write for Horny Devil Publishing in 2012, I have wondered why they closed down a few months later?
I had a friend who accepted their offer at the same time as I was asked, she said she sold more of her work via her website, than through the site.
As they approached me to write sex stories, and their remit was "keep it legal, but anything goes," I wondered had they been closed because they had crossed some rules of decency, which was one of the reasons I turned the offer down. Another reason in though I write stories with sex in, I don't write stories where sex is the theme.
The main reasons they were closed are bad customer reports, their covers were reportedly murky black and white, with a splash of red, and their overheads were more than other publishers who offered quality.
Apparently, none of the staff had any concept of what it takes to publish a book.
For months, I asked myself the question "Did I miss my opportunity," especially as I never got a real contract offer in my 15 years as a writer. People I knew at the time would tell me, "If you are asking the question, you know the answer."
I did miss the only opportunity for a contract, but from the reports, it appears they would not have helped me sell my books

I would have given my Award up

  A Writing Contract

                                                  The Chronicles of Mark Johnson

In 2012, my book, The Chronicles of Mark Johnson, earned an award from a non-profit organisation in the USA.

At the time, I thought this was wonderful, even if it took months to accept the concept of me earning praise. In the aftermath, I would have given the award up for the opportunity to have earned a contract to write.

I did get invited to write for a publisher in Miami, Florida, but I didn't like the remit that anything goes, "but keep it legal," it didn't matter as for some reason they were closed down several months later.

The only other offers came from Vanity Publishing companies. This concept is they will publish your book, but you have to pay for the first book; if that succeeds you may get the offer for writing a second book under contract. If you are going to self-publish the first book, why giv the firm the praise for the second, when they had no faith in the first book?

I do NOT use Twitter

 A site for Scammers

Once it was a good site
This morning, I decided to stop using Twitter, other than for posting YouTube links, or the occassional link to my eBay page, which is also running down.
I have never had any success with the site, so this decision will not affect me.
In the last 18 months, I have been plagued by people trying to either scam me, with Crypto choices, or book marketing promoters who do not understand I have no interest in writing these days
