Title: Buy my book! (please!)
Post by: Richmond Clements on 01 July, 2015, 10:26:53 AM
I have stuck a Sherlock Holmes steampunk (sorry, GRennie!) novella what I wrote up on the Kindle store, and it seems to be going down well - if you are of a mind, you could perhaps purchase said item..?

Thanks!

I'll probably just torrent it but I'll totally come and see you when you tour and buy a T-shirt.

Does anyone ejaculate in it?

(Holmes and Watson did it quite a lot in the Conan Doyle stories)

Not on screen.

Sure, if you like.

Great story and the nod to modern troubles a big plus. [spoiler]I like the steam punk ornithopters and that the use of oil was just a passing fad![/spoiler] :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Yes they do!

Holmes ejaculated six times, Watson ejaculated eleven times (one of those times was at his fiancée)

Phelps ejaculated three times and Mrs St Clair's husband ejaculated just once (but it was out of a second-floor window).

Bought and downloaded. Probably take me a while to read.

Seems you won't be getting rich off this one (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jul/02/amazon-pay-self-published-authors-per-page-read-kindle), Richmond (YOU WHORE etc).
Fack me, it's really come to something when you'd make more selling copies from a table at a con than through a global sales network.

It is true I will not be giving up the day job on the back of this...

And thanks, Bolt!

Actually, I have no tablet, and have never got on with reading anything longer than a magazine article on my phone. Plus, I detest Amazon - is there a "creator gets most of the £££" alternative site you could sell it through?

Cracking little tale. Loved it Richmond, many thanks.
I counted one ejaculation but two impressive erections.

Don't forget to leave an amazon review peeps.
