So it's the start of a new month and October passed by without fulfilling my objective. I had intended to issue "The Naked Truth Shall Set You Free" in printed form by the end of October, and I was working towards that end as I mentioned earlier during October. However I ran into a number of problems with formatting and Amazon's CreateSpace couldn't accept the draft in a way that satisfied me. I worked late into last night to resolve this but I eventually ran out of time. And now I'm on my way...

Since publication last month, sales have been growing and interest in THE NAKED TRUTH is steadily growing. More importantly, feedback has been very positive and I'm grateful to all my readers for buying or borrowing my book and to those that have taken the time to give me their comments via amazon, this blog and directly to my email address. Since publication of Vol 1 of the New Albion series in March 2016 WHO IS THIS NAKED LADY? AND WHAT HAVE THEY DONE WITH MY WIFE? correspondence has been...

Here it is at last! The ebook cover for the second of the New Albion naturist fiction series. A huge thank you to fellow nudist theme author P. Z. Walker of Naked Crow and Mirror Earth fame for this excellent design. More about the story in the next post. Suffice it to say now that the characters from "Who Is This Naked Lady" return to day-to-day life on New Albion after their holidays and are joined by new characters, some rather unexpected. Their lives are not as routine as they would expect,...

Actually, this has a double meaning. Not only have I been away for 3 weeks on a research project which took me to some pretty cool cold places, I came back with a stinking cold (read 'man-flu') that I thought may finish me off but which Mrs. G shrugged off as a mere sniffle. I'm self-pityingly recovering slowly...your show of sympathy will be greatly appreciated.

My printed book has been out courtesy of amazon's CreateSpace long enough now to be able to review the results. You may recall from earlier blogs that I decided on publication of my first book 'WHO IS THIS NAKED LADY? And What Have They Done With My Wife?' in March this year that I would sign up to amazon's KDP Select. KDP Select is a special version of Kindle Direct Publishing, which connects self-publishers like me to Kindle eBooks. KDP select enrols authors for 90 days in a special deal...

I'm re-stating these links as much for me as for you, dear reader, as I want to be sure that the links I have been declaring in the past are still valid. So here they are again!
02. May 2016
April was the first full month of sales of my first book in the New Albion series, 'Who Is This Naked Lady? And What Have They Done With My Wife?' Sales increased steadily in the first 2 weeks of April but tailed off a little towards the end. Is this slight reduction because the fervent naturist readers have already discovered and bought it? The month was 48% ahead of expected sales. Overall, I'm satisfied with progress but realise I need to do more marketing. For a start I only sell ebooks...

March is at an end and as promised, after 3 complete weeks, I have reviewed the interest that my first book "Who Is This Naked Lady? And What Have They Done With My Wife?" has enjoyed and I must express my great pleasure. I had guestimated a (modest) interest and I am delighted that since P-Day on 11 March, sales are 287% greater than expected. More satisfying though from my perspective are the positive comments that I have received, which can be seen at REVIEWS RECEIVED This initial response...
