Off Topic Being interviewed by Burnsy

Write it for her, other kids' authors write for their own kids

 

Just find out what your daughters favourite book is, scrub the authors name out and write yours on it.
Kidsll believe out.
No point ****ing about mate.

 

I taught for almost forty years. That's how I knew I could write because I didn't use text books. I wrote my own stuff. I loved the job and still do some work in school snow about writing skills. I wrote three novels while I was teaching but none of them got past the second reading. I didn't have any problem getting the textbooks published but the fiction is much harder. Publishers only take on certain successes. It's the same with agents. My first kids' book was published after I finished teaching. You have to keep banging on at publishers and become thick skinned to rejection. It's going to happen. You only need that door to open once though. Best of luck with it. PM me if I can help you.

 

If anyone is interested in ‘winning’ a free copy of my one (Stasi Winter), there’s a prize draw today on Crime Fiction Lover’s Facebook page

 

I once wrote a story.

Once upon a time there were three bears.

And the next day, there wasn’t.

The End.

 

Stasi Winter, my latest, and Stasi 77, my last-but-one, are both just 99p on Kindle for a limited time. Link is here if anyone is interested:

I enjoy reading them.

 

Thanks.

Bought Stasi 77.

Will save it for Easter in the sun if we're still able to travel then!.

 

If we’re still alive then.

Just read it

 

I'll start at the beginning and order a copy Stasi Child.

 

Can you buy it in shop ?

 

We’ll into my second at mo. Really enjoying.

 

Thanks all! And yes Julian you should be able to buy all or most of them in Waterstones and some in WH Smiths (but then they're not 99p!).

 

Is A Darker State and Stasi State the same book? If so, I now have the full set.

 

Just bought a copy, looking forward to reading it. I travelled to East Germany in the Seventies & Eighties so anything to do with East Germany always is of interest to read. Likely to be my read and the plane.

 

TM would you print the order the Stasi books are please. Thank you

 

I thought this thread had come up to discuss how disrespectful he was asking if we were looking down instead of up ....

 

Ah so rather than the paper back, hard back or kindle you went for the aluminium and composite material one.

 

Hi Dave. Yes. The publishers thought Stasi Wolf hadn't done as well as they expected, so dropped the 'Stasi' from the titles for A Darker State. Then everyone got confused so they went back to 'Stasi" in all titles (really just as a shorthand for East Germany -- the main character is actually not a Stasi officer) and so A Darker State was renamed Stasi State for e-books (and will be for paperback if and when they reprint it).

If anyone wants all five in paperback, there's a good deal here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/912395096X/?tag=not606-21

The 99p Stasi Winter is now in the top 200 Kindle Books overall so going along quite nicely:

Thanks. I've got a clear run at reading them all now.
