Amazon Ranked!

Wow, I have 'rank's on Amazon. They're very very low, of course, but I have some :-)
'Man by a tree' (now only £5.36) Bestsellers Rank: 2,196,049
'The Bethlehem Fiasco' (now only £6.08) Bestsellers Rank: 3,034,912
'The Rage of Atlantis' (now only £6.75) Bestsellers Rank: 2,992,519
What surprises me is the 3rd has overtaken the 2nd. Is there something wrong with 'Jesus' books? Especially comedy?

So busy...201st post...

Update:
...still working on 'How to'...:'Dani's Shorts 2' coming soon...


Right at this moment in time, I'm completely up to my eyeballs. So many essays to write, so much work to proofread...but I shouldn't complain. My books are out there, I'm still getting ideas for my October short story, waiting on any news about my novelette in the competition (yeah, right), and now over 2500 views for a 200 post blog all across the globe. Also waiting for a few more reviews of my 3rd book, 'Rage' here.
...and also more downloads of my little FREE ebook here :-) https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/273975

Update: This post is getting a HUGE amount of hits!

200th Post!

Yes, it's my 200th post, and we'Re getting to 2500 views :-)
Just re-submitted 'Rage', it'll be unavailable for less than a day (not that anything's happening). Found a few embarassing typos, so I had to change them.
Working on novelette number 2...good bit about 'how to drive a car' in there, a dig at those drivers I see on the roads every day. Yes, another comedy. What did you expect? A romance? Now there's an idea...

Igen, ez az én 200. post, és egyre we'Re 2500 megtekintés :-)
Csak újra benyújtott "Rage", hogy lesz elérhető kevesebb, mint egy nap (nem, hogy bármi történik). Talált egy pár kínos helyesírási, így meg kellett változtatni őket.
Dolgozik a kisregény száma 2 ... jó kicsit ", hogyan kell vezetni egy autót" ott, a dig azokon járművezetők látom az utakon minden nap. Igen, egy másik vígjáték. Mit vártál? A románc? Most már van egy ötletem ...


Да, это моя двухсотая пост, и we'Re получать до 2500 просмотров :-)
Просто повторно представить 'Rage', это будет недоступно менее чем за день (не происходит, что все, о). Найдено несколько неловко опечаток, так что мне пришлось их менять.
Работа на повесть номер 2 ... немного о хорошем ", как водить машину" там, копать на тех водителей, я вижу на дорогах каждый день. Да, еще комедию. Что вы ожидаете?Романтика? Теперь есть идея ...

More reviews for 'Rage' (3rd book)

Yes, there are still some people who haven't read the first chapters of my 3rd book 'Rage'...
Here are a few more bits of reviews :-)

I'm usually not a fan of this kind of writing, but I must admit you've got funny moments, e.g. the strange title on the book in chapter 1, the daily life of God in chapter two, and the 'could watch a dog grow' in chapter 3 (the chapters were so short that I read three of them). So congratulations - you made me laugh!
I couldn't really find any technical errors other than some commas out of place, and that's easily fixed.
I liked that the chapters were so short, cause it made me continue. All the other chapters on this side are so freakishly long that I eventually just skim through them to get to the point, so well done with that, haha!
Keep up the good work!


Anybody who likes Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett (and there are a lot of them around) will love this book. I actually read three chapters as they are so short...

I liked the humour – the ‘comfy fluffy slippers’ and the squirrels...

A few silly riddles+ writing again 2

I re-visited jottify.com after a few months out, there wasn't much happening, except the usual guys writing the usual stuff. I added a few silly riddles I write way back in early 2011 before I wrote my books.
If you want to see them on the website to help my views, here are the links...

Yep, I'm writing another novelette ATM for a competition in October. I should be able to finish it before the end of that month. It's about a fallen angel who's lost his memory and all the monkeys think he's lost his mind, until he realises he's been receiving emergency calls from another angel. He helps him escape, but the ending isn't all so rosy...

Writing again...

Although I have a million things to do, I've started writing again. A little seed of a story is growing in my head. It's so small, I have no detailed idea where it'll go. I have a general idea, but I think it'll be similar to the new novelette in terms of POV, but maybe 2 rather than 1, with the 2 main characters' thinking. Hobgoblins, of course, and a few angels.
Watch this space...(as you do, something might happen sometime, there's always a chance...)

My preference...

I've had to read a few short stories for a course recently, some classics from Woolf, Forster and DH Lawrence. All three were fantastic, though a acquaintence said otherwise (of course).
Woolf's 'The Mark on the Wall' is so good...but not my preference. I found it way too 'greasy', if I had written something in that style...I did, many years ago, and I deleted it. I couldn't read it, I couldn't 'see' myself in it. Woolf is damn good, though.
EM Forster's 'Road from Colonus', now there's a great thing. Still, not my preference, a little too 'smooth', but fantastic back story of Greek tragedy gone wrong due to non-awareness of others.
Now, DH Lawrence 'The Rocking-Horse Winner'...much more my thing in terms of style, though it felt quite dated with the language, and so so predictable. Terrible endline, too, but a great story of a well-to-do family living on hard times.
So, my preference? I read a few chapters of my 3rd book after reading these. Isn't it great when you like your own stuff? Sometimes I think where did it all come from? How did I do that? And my new novelette...still waiting on some 'reaction' from the competition. Probably nothing - who goes for comedy fantasy?
Of course, my writing style is NOTHING compared to these GIANTS in literature, but this shows I'm such a fussy reader. I bow to their memory.
