SHAMELESS PLUG TIME!

This is the first ten chapters I believe, which is about 30% of the book. I'm on track for releasing it at the end of the month, some point next month. There's still a few little edits left to make, and a couple of piece of dialogue I want to throw in, but for the most part, it's done and dusted.

You sent me the book a while back and I forgot it was in my inbox. I started reading it and got a ways in and was enjoying it a lot. I got busy and haven't read any in a while though. I made some notes in word on the stuff that I've read.

You can now officially buy the whole f'n thing on Amazon. I'm global now.

UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B010 ... entries*=0
US - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MF ... entries*=0
CA - http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B010MF4 ... entries*=0
AU - http://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B01 ... entries*=0

If you have some spare change floating about, do a poor boy a favour and check it out. If you feel like giving it a positive review (preferably before you read it and immediately have your mind changed), feel free.

Buy the book, there's probably plenty more in there. Make a game out of it.

@Daz

Just bought it!

In the middle of a book right now but it's next up. After which I will write a badass review that will bring a tear to a glass eye!

Just out of curiosity man, and if you don't want to answer this I understand, but how much do you actual make from the sales on Amazon of the book? Do they take all the money and leave you with not much? I just want to make sure you get your due :P

There's two different programs. There's a 30% royalty one, which has a different pricing bracket. If you set the price of the book under $2.99, I think you have to go into that one. Then there's 70% royalty one. They take a tiny little amount from the royalty every time the book is sold or downloaded, as a "delivery" fee, which goes up depending on the file size of the book. Mine is pretty standard, so it's like 10p or something like that. The real kicker is that because the American side of things deal with all the money, I'm getting taxed 30% on the royalties.

I also enrolled it in another Kindle program, which means people can read it for free with the Kindle Unlimited service. I only get a royalty from that, if they read a certain percentage of the book. At least, I think that's how it works.

Honestly, I'm shit at advertising and promoting myself, so I'm not expecting to sell many copies in the first place, so the royalties are a little bit of a moot point. I'm hardly gonna make a fortune off this. If I were smart, I'd be tweeting the book to people like Mick Foley, in the hope they'd retweet it and reach a larger number of people than I ever could.

Get on it! (Plus be good to see you on Twitter ;))

I'm reading Roy Keane's book for a second time atm so will definitely hit this up after and I think I have an Amazon account. 366 pages - will have to plan a time when work is quiet to print it off - not much of an online reader when it comes to books.

Just a heads up. The book will be free on Amazon until July 8th, so if you want to pick it up, and perhaps leave a nice little review, now would be the time.

I'm reading something at the moment, I think I'll just wait until I'm done and buy the thing.

Will I be able to find it on the Kindle? I've still barely used mine since I got it. I enjoy print a little too much.

Nah lol, I'm happy to pay for it. It's not like it was a lot of money. People on here should support you by buying it :P
