Publishing my book and a wee bit of political commentry......

     It's been frantic this week trying to find a printer for my new book "Rules are Made to be Broken".
     But I've found these great people at Zenith Publishing in New Plymouth. They are really helpful, do this sort of stuff all the time and really support the self-publishing industry in NZ. Thanks Ocean (yes his real name).
    Updating my website so you can go and order the book on-line, making sure all the specs are right for the proof copy oh and yeah on a totally unrelated topic but relevant cos it takes time out of my day and detracts from writing Book #2.

     Relates to a signifigant member of a political party legally stealing my money - how can that be possible, you ask?
     Believe me it is!!!  If by putting a company into receivership, then transferring the assets at less than what they are worth, and becoming a Director of the new company is how the very rich become rich enough to give away tonnes of money to charities, is how they do it - then we all need to learn how to do that. But if he gets it first by legal loopholes which steal funds and assets from a company belonging to a solo-mom by using shonky receivers who are nothing but bottom-feeders - that just doesn't seem right.
     I'm going to keep banging on about this cos this guy needs to own up to what he has done. 

     So overnight, incredibly this blog has gone from a "I've written a book and now I'm going to self-publish it and you're going to share that ride with me - to a fascinating legal battle against the establishment."

     But hey it's been a successful week, have written over 10,000 words of Book #2 and planning the marketing of Book #1 is falling into place as expected.

How Utterly Exciting!!!

I just had an email from my webdesign guy to tell me he just brought my book "Rules are Made to be Broken" on Paypal.
What that really means is that he's testing the Paypal part of my website out so I can finally start to sell my book on-line.
It's only going to be available in PDF to start with - the printing company is mucking around a bit, but soon I will have thousands of the things in my hot little hands and then I can take on the world.
Life is so incredible.
I am so excited I could scream.

Book #2 in Progress

Google tells me today is the barcode was invented.
Coincidentally its the day I've just added the barcode to Book #1 - and am now on to the next stage ........publishing.
I've decided to self-publish Book #1 and it will be soon available as an e-book download.
Hopefully in a couple of days.
Cross fingers or should I say Xfingers
