When I started out with self-publishing I saw that it was working for others. My great good fortune was that when I decided to throw my lot in with self-publishing I already had the first three R&M Files written. So I put them out very close to each other. That way, of course, if readers enjoyed the first they immediately had others to go to. <br /><br />I must confess to not feeling particularly courageous when I decided to self-publish. I was just desperate to be read by someone other than my mum. I remember feeling that self-publishing had a stigma attached to it - shades of vanity publishing. I certainly don't feel anything like that any more. It has been truly liberating, exciting, an adventure, that I wouldn't have missed for anything.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />OliverMr Tidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274936184691391227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-71911819295871059532014-06-19T19:38:46.865+02:002014-06-19T19:38:46.865+02:00Glad you liked my review enough to download "...Glad you liked my review enough to download "Rope Enough" to your kindle, too!

Thank you so much for stopping by and ...Hi Oliver,<br /><br />Thank you so much for stopping by and not only reading my review, but commenting as well!<br /><br />Your strategy to interest readers enough via the free first book in the series so that they'd buy the rest of the series certainly works with me. I think it takes some courage and determination to go through with self-publishing, so your "reward" in the shape of many downloads is well deserved.<br /><br />Of course there will be blog posts for the other Romney & Marsh files; I review every book I read on here, as much for myself (to keep track of what I've read) as for the benefit of those who read my blog.<br /><br />Best wishes<br />MeikeLibrarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-88032519364311232112014-06-19T19:33:29.736+02:002014-06-19T19:33:29.736+02:00Hello Jane and Lance,

No other way would I be able to have enough reading material with me to last through my holidays, or without weighing down my handbag on the way to and from work. Also, the choice is much wider than what I'd ever be able to find in my local library, and none of the dozens of books on my kindle takes up any shelf space. Plus there is the environmental aspect: no trees were cut down for the paper to produce these books, and no lorries congested the motorways to deliver them to warehouses and bookshops.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-65132048502738130212014-06-19T15:20:07.236+02:002014-06-19T15:20:07.236+02:00I just "bought" it for my kindle.

As the author, I would like to thank you...Hi Meike<br /><br />As the author, I would like to thank you sincerely for your positive and encouraging review of Rope Enough, and for getting in touch to let me know it was here to view. I'm glad you enjoyed it. You have made my day.<br /><br />I appreciate your thoughts and editorial suggestions. As a self-published author I am always interested in reader feedback. It has helped me a lot with my writing.<br /><br />Rope Enough is always free to download through Amazon. As a self-published author who is virtually unknown in the ebook market place I have to offer prospective readers an encouragement to try me. The hope is that they will enjoy the first in the series enough to purchase the second, and so on.<br /><br />If and when you get around to the next in the series, please let me know what you think. (I wouldn't expect another blog-post, but as I said, I'm always interested in learning what readers think of my books.)<br /><br />I quite agree with you over the 'real' book, ebook thing. Ereaders are so convenient, but for the multi-sensory pleasure that a 'real' book brings you can't beat a physical book.<br /><br />Best wishes and thanks again.<br />OliverMr Tidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274936184691391227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-35969415366855466232014-06-19T09:38:17.829+02:002014-06-19T09:38:17.829+02:00Hello Meike:
