Prompted by the lovely DJ Kirkby whose second novel 'Without Alice' has appeared on the Amazon Bestseller list, I thought I'd venture on and see how my children's book The Green King is doing...
...and I'm up to 106,000th on the list! OK, this is not very high, admittedly but considering I was 1.3 millionth a few weeks ago and 306,000th a few days ago, I reckon I may have sold another book.
AND - STOP PRESSES: THE GREEN KING IS AVAILABLE ON KINDLE: right here for all you techno-bods...
Thanks everyone!
The launch is tomorrow, I will spare you the tedious begging to come and join me for a glass of wine - if you do fancy it, details are here.
One day I might actually write about my son. At the moment, all I have to tell you is that on weekends we are spending considerable amounts of time on the BMX track where I get all puffed up with pride as the seasoned BMXers admire his bravery. He can now make it up all but the 3 steepest hills by himself and we've been invited for proper training next weekend... finally, my potato is turning into a bean-pole - with all this cycling he's becoming leaner and stronger... my little boy is really growing up... sniff...

How amazing....your life is filled with enthusiasm and it will spill across the pages of your books! Congrats on making it to the list! Not everyone can or does in their life! Good luck on rising up and enjoy your special time! The little ones grow far too quickly! :) Karen
Karen - Thanks for the best wishes! And yes, growing up is happening far too fast... but not if you ask him, he's desperate to get bigger... sigh...
Sparx, I just finished reading it last night! Very exciting, and I like the characters in it; the parents remind me of the 50s for some reason!
The second half was so exciting I stayed up WAY past my bedtime last night because I couldn't put it down :-)
I'm sure it will be a big hit!

Juniper - ooh really? Thanks! You don't fancy posting a review on Amazon for me would you? Hm? (OK I'm being VERY cheeky now!!!)
