What do you expect?

 Alan Place - Indie Writer

A Multi-Genre Writer

I was shocked at the news I had sold a children's short story eBook this week. The shock was more that I had sold an eBook than anything else. eBook sales over the last decade have been scarce, if not rare, for me, which is why I was further suprised to read that Writers Realm, and Thevoguewriters wish to promote my work on their sites on Twitter.

There are few genre types I have not written, I did try to write a sex story, but found it hard to write a story were sex is the story, stories like the one on this post, and A Sailor's Love contain sex, but it is part of the story arc, not the theme

 My Charity work

The Peacock Writers

I am not known as a chidren's author, though for several years I was a member of the charity, The Peacock Writers, who were mainly a group of writers in the USA, who wrote for charity.

With the sale of my eBook, Elfenmere, this may change.

I am used to changing the genre of my stories, a fact which amazes and and amuses some writers I used to know. I have always said, "I am a writer, not a genre-writer.

Twitter Promotions

 Writer's Realm and Thevouguewriters

I can believe now

For over a decade, I had friends in the USA telling me I was an excellent writer, I had doubts about my value as a writer, as I struggled to get sales and recognition, while lesser writers I knew were getting contracts.

Last night, that changed as two sites on Twitter asked to promote my writing, both Writer's Realm and Thevouguewriters asked to promote my work, for far less than the asking prices of several sites I approached, and with thousands of people watching the sites, there is a better opportunity for sales of my eBook content

What a SHOCK!

 Children's eBook sale

A new sales genre?

Today brought a double shock to my world, not only did I sell an eBook, but it is in a genre I hadn't sold before, Elfenmere is a children's short story about conservation.

For several years I wrote for a children's charity group called The Peacock Writers, but I have written few stories for children. The Peacocks brought published two books a years with the proceeds going to charity
