I have certainly been surprised by Kindle and in particular how hard it is to attract sales. My two books have now been out over 10 months and still not sold enough for me to have a peasant pittance let alone a royalty cheque. Of course, I am no salesman, and my marketing skills rate up there with Baldrick’s cooking and House’s bedside manner.

Now to get 4 stars from an organisation that would review books from a bestselling author is not bad for a partial part timer. By coincidence I have just started reading some of his books in the past few weeks. Spooky!
