I'm messing about with a story about a widowed retiree who has an affair or two. It's quite fun. In fact I've written about 70-80,000 words and it's almost finished. But at present I'm busy flogging a couple of e-books (novels) and I don't have time to tighten up the writing. Oh heck, another unfinished masterpiece!
What I intended to say in the previouss comment is that there's never much place for widowed retirees in light romance. They're always full of these rather smooth, sub-Byronic blokes in their forties.
This is happening with my new book too. It's so frustrating! How would these people like it if I walked into their house and helped myself to free stuff!
That is really annoying. I have plenty of friends that have e-readers and look for pirated copies of books. Being a writer myself it infuriates me... they just don't know how much time and energy goes into writing a book.
Gawd, Lucy - if it's not difficult enough to write, edit, rewrite, re-edit, now you have pirates? Commiserations. Glad you've got the mighty M&B to squash em though...
M&B are good, Sally, but it's a bit like trying to hold back the sea with a sandcastle. And the hoops some of the sites make you go through to get a link taken down... It's like you're the one who's done something wrong. Grr.

That's shocking. You must be furious.

It is pretty ire-inducing, Suzanne, but unfortunately not uncommon. Ho hum. Harlequin are good at getting the links deactivated, though.
LOL, Johnnie. Good luck with the writing!!

I know! I don't think many of them consider it theft, even though it clearly is.
