I would love to say that the new book has flown off the shelves like a undiscovered'Harry Potter' story but sadly the story has been about the same as the first! slow start followed by a steady trickle of sales that have kept me checking the stats daily.
The whole process could be quite off putting as the rush of finishing the book is replaced by the apprehension of actually getting the story in front of people and hoping they like it. I think the second book is a better story that, in my opinion, is better written and follows a more structured path than the first. The first book received some concerns in the way it threw the reader about and finally settled into a traditional story, the second follows a much more linear path through the years after the first book finishes.
Someone did ask me where the sub chapters had gone, apparently they enjoyed them so much, particularly 'Petrol' which was added as a last minute thing to the first book after I had a bizarre dream based on the book (less cheese before bed I think!).
So the marketing continues and the special edition will hopefully be out at the end of the month. For those of you that haven't read the second book it is on kindle and paperback off Amazon. Go to my home page for the direct links.
The next book is a radical departure from this as I embark on a whole new challenge and hopefully a more settled sleep pattern!
