I only hope the content is as pleasing to you as the printing! Yes - I agree, I was pleased with the way its produced, and the quality of the paper etc. Its amazing how quickly they get them printed. -

I have mentioned on another forum that this writer's bug seems to be catching Rob.

I have uploaded a very short story to amazon for kindle download. I must wait 72hrs for it to be approved etc.

Good luck with it, Pete. Sadly I don't have a kindle, so won't be able to read it.

Well done, Pete!

Good luck with your short story, Pete. I’ll keep a lookout for it on Amazon.

What is the title of your short story, Pete? And your full name? It must be Peter plus your surname, right? Is it a children story?

Good for you, Pete! Sounds great and I'm pleased my foray into Amazon publishing encouraged you!

Hope you will let us know the blurb or synopsis of your book, Pete.

Don't worry Julie, you won't be missing much!

Thanks for everyone's good wishes - it's only a very short, short story really.
Will post a link if it gets online ok - they said it can take 72 hrs,

I have just edited it quite a bit so it may take a day or two for the final draught to go live.

Good luck with your story, Pete.

Thanks John and apologies for discussing this on Rob's book thread!

I will shut up now and get back to reading The Last Summer.

To be fair, this thread's probably a more interesting read, lol!

Here's a 10 minute clip from The Last Summer -- chapter 25 extract -

Hate my voice - think (know!!) I'm mispronouncing 'Strychnine' but hey...!

I listened to the first minute or two and thought you read it well, Rob! I only stopped because I thought the excerpt might give away too much of the story and I may well buy the book at some point.

Creep Alert!!!

Rob that was fantastic!

Much,much better than my lamentable attempt - and you added fitting background music too.
It's really great to hear your book read as you the author originally intended.
Unlike Anita, I found I was unable to stop listening and really enjoyed the whole excerpt.

Can the book be made available to purchase an an audio download?
