The Whole Gamut Publishing

From the Norfolk Daily Times This is the press clipping that is referred to at the beginning of The Nor'easter - if you click on the graphic it is easier to read.

... this Friday 26th October 2018 I'm so pleased to announce that I've finally finished The Nor'easter . My editor, Janet Laurence, returned her review of my 147,500 word first draft at the end of August and I completed the re-work at the end of September.  I went through it again to clean and tighten, reducing the words from 142,00 t0 134,940. John Holland then performed a final proofread and here we are.

Can you spare five minutes? First of all, a big thank you to everyone that left a review or rated The Pink Herring – I really appreciated the feedback. I’m lucky to have a very good average rating for the book (4.75 out of 5 stars) for the forty or so reviews I’ve received, but this represents less than 5% of the total books sold.

And here it is folks! Wow, to actually hold it my hands -  this is a very special day. The quality is surprising good for a print-on-demand product. The pages are well printed and have a nice feel to them - the page turn is easy and pleasant to the touch. The cover art is terrific, front and back, and the book has a weight to it, making feel like the substantial tome that it is. It may be childish and probably won't last, but I can't stop putting it in my bookcase along side my literary heroes. Heaven... Please feel free to share this - go on, hit the button of your choice...

Lynda and Tim O'Rourke A few weeks back, my daughter Rachel mentioned that her friend, Joe, had a father who was a local independent autho r , Tim O'Rourke . Joe kindly offered his father's services to me, through Rachel, should I need any advice about self-publishing. Are you kidding? Of course I'd like to meet him.
