I have been so blessed to have readers leave wonderful reviews on each of my novels this week. To know that there is someone who actually reads and enjoys my writing - well, it means the world to an author. Thank you so much reviewers and readers (you know who you are!). 😇😇😇

For every book I write, I have a link for my website to a page of special Bonus Material. Do you do anything similar for your books to try and give your readers something 'extra'?

I spent all morning rejigging some aspects of my website. I wonder if it is worth it, as I suspect 85% of the views are just me - checking to see if it looks alright! 😅

I looked into it and I think it was about £1500+ There is a lot of work involved. Also a lot of money, and I don't have enough of that.

I agree. I would add any shows or dramas about the exceptionally wealthy trying to gain more. They seem to be especially popular in the US. I love that British television often concentrates on ordinary people, and I find that more relatable.

Sales are back to normal. Whew! I was worried there for a day or two. 🥹

Thanks for the insight and tips! It seems to be harder than it was 5 years ago when I started all of this. None of the social media generates interest in the way it used to - especially the Meta ones, as they're trying to get you to pay for advertising.
