If you are able plz fire a review on Amazon for me. To answer your question Tidy, all the characters are based on folk I worked with and real events. I have obviously changed names and also conflated some of their characteristics so that no one reads it and identifies themselves. They may recognise certain traits or events but think I've altered other factors around them so as not to make certain individuals instantly recognisable. I've noticed that the 'fuck' count is down in the couple of chapters I've written in the follow up...... I'll need to up my game lol 😂 Anyway thanks again! Ps local press I did should be out today 👍 Did u read the young team btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a pal of mine, well he's someone I worked with for a few years and I liked him. http://iainbroome.com He wrote a novel and is big into social media and self promotion. I think his newsletter would be worth subscribing to. I'm attaching some images below as I'm just building a website for my daughter - more of an online cv and portfolio - and I'm using wix.com to build it. It's really easy to use and they have loads of templates you just type your info into or upload a picture. I did a quick search for Book Promotion and a few templates came up I thought looked okay. Click on the one you like and it takes you to the template where you just highlight and change the images and information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitre Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 My old man worked there for 26 years until it shut down. He was Steel Making shift manager at the end after stints in the BOS plant. I have passed him on the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it there as it is virtually all expat pubs selling drink at ridiculous prices. Me and TA pals always go in May to enjoy 4 days of Sun and San Miguel to coincide with Scottish cup final.

slasher Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 A wee update on proceedings. Sales heading towards 1300 and looking at getting some retailers to stock it next. Onwards we go and we'll see where it ends up 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thplinth Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) I don't think Rossy really left because of the spat. That was more the straw that broke the camels back. He was at times a very funny read. I especially enjoyed his replies to Alan. Edited June 26, 2020 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, I'd settle for debating with him on here right now as the 4 women in my house are currently subjecting me to Mamamia 2 at full volume 🙉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
