My novel has now gone live, whatever that means.  I thought it would appear on Amazon, however, my publisher told me that might take a few days longer!  The print run bagan on Monday 18th and I should have a box of books for my book launch next week.  The venue has been booked and invites sent out, I am working on my speech but my wife has told me to keep it short!  I was looking forward to entertaining my audience with tales of writing and mad characters, but I will have to re-think or I'll be in trouble! :-)
I'm really looking forward to this as the book launch is the begining of my marketing plan and hopefully my guests will buy my book, signed of course, and tell all their friends.  This should generate sales on Amazon.
