50p? 50P??? Is that all I'm worth?

[SolidGoldBrass]

A friend alerted me to the fact that a copy of my second novel is up on Ebay. For 50p. It's a signed copy, as well. WIBU to bid for it purely so I can hunt the seller down and slap the ungrateful bastard?

50p. Bastard. S/he will regret it when the new novel is out and selling billions of copies and pissing all over EL James and everyone is gagging to pay vast amounts of money for my shopping list...

Assume you're not convinced about my William Shakespeare argument them?
Stealth, he is a new cave man. She's going out clubbing while he looks after the cave baby and sews the pelts.

I wouldn't link it's ok, as David frost would say, the clues are there!! :o

If the clues are there then why not link!

Well I'm not sure it is. I said I thought I found it. If sgb wants to link she can. But I'm not going to.

Exactly! Anyway, she's probably busy writing the sequel to a midsummer night's dream at the moment

A mid winters day nightmare!

Reality: Nah, you had The Master's Voice as I recall. Glad you liked it. The New Book, when it finally comes out, is sort of a sequel featuring some of the same characters. .

SBG - you know it's a collector's item, the person who buys it will have their pension sorted with a Paypal click. Lucky cunt.

I once had to rush my best mate round Clapham the wrong way - with her querying the 2 mile detour more fretfully at every step - to avoid the window of the cancer shop, where her oeuvre was selling in the window. Actually, it sold 600, 000 so you can see that the odds of one of them ending up there were high.

I like your review of your own book on Amazon, it made me

.

Ooo that's a good price, cheapest you can get it on Amazon is £1.35 plus £2.80 p&p. It does have good reviews on Amazon...

I don't think you should be too upset about the ebay listing OP, after all some of the Amazon marketplace sellers clearly think it's worth significantly more than 50p!

Well I can't figure it out.

Ooh, I've found you

I've seen loads of Dan Brown in charity shops for a lot less. So you are worth more than Dan Brown. And did they sneakily bump up postage to increase your net value?

btw have you got it as an ebook? Apparently ebooks never go out of print, so you could keep getting sales for ever and ever. You can publish (or, I suppose, republish) for free at Smashwords and Amazon Kindle - and probably other places as well.

I cannot connect that writer profile with you the poster!!-if you are the person I am thinking of, I love your stuff

Ohh

Figured it out now.

I haven't do link op

I'll raise you £1.50 and a freshly cooked fruit scone !

Oh, I remember the feeling the time I received notice that my first book was about to be remaindered. But OTOH, it meant I could buy up loads of copies for my mother to read.

I don't have it as an ebook. I did try to get hold of the publisher last year about turning it into one, but no luck. Mind you, I was re-reading my own copy a while ago and it hasn't really stood the test of time. (There is one section which describes, in dull and not-terribly-accurate detail, the Sending Of A Fateful Email as at the time of writing (1997) email was not all that commonly used.) I have put a couple of other books up on Lulu though.

Is it about a horse?
