at long last i persuaded my wife, elma, to start her book. she doesn't think anyone will be interested in her 'scribblings'.

the books are about our life afloat; we've been full time liveaboards for 9 years.

first one is now up for free download today, here;

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007D1YHT4

can be downloaded onto kindle or pc.

the other book is also available, third one coming soon.

thank you for looking.
hope you like.

Missed the download day, but liked the preview so much that I am definately going to buy book1 to start with.
Congratulations for the voyage and the book.

I took a quick look inside & found it rather lacking in content. Sorry this sort of ****'s not for me. But there's sure to be one or two people who'll like it. Good luck.

Don't get sucked in to personal likes or dislikes, you'll find lots will lots of people won't go for it, just be happy with those that do.

Good advice. I am expecting to publish an iBook soon but am not looking forward to the negative, even rude comments some people feel free to express from the safe anonymity of their computer keyboard. Not enough people are ready to take the trouble of posting appreciation it seems. My Granny used to say "If you can't find something helpful to say, then don't bother speaking."

Just had a quick look on Amazon, before I buy can I just clarify, is that £2.06 for 37 pages?

Whose book do you mean? Mine is not yet released, and not on Amazon but when it is it will be 109 pages with about 3 doz. illustrations and diagrams. A picture is worth a thousand words, it is said . . . . so my iBook should be good value at £3.99 with 'interactive' illustrations. See my website to check out chapter one and two free, on an iPad.

Regards Etc. Chris.

I don't care how good they are, I will not be buying 37 pages for 2 quid, neither will I be buying a hundred pages for 4 quid guys, sorry...:(
