Good day to my Russian readers you top the chart this week with views. Thank you and welcome.
Sunday 14th July England has now taken the top spot with America second and our friends in Russia a close third. Didn't realise this small post would prove so exciting. Wonder what tomorrow will bring updates at the same time.
Monday 15th July. Welcome Holland you now lead the board. America second Russia third and UK in fourth. Will keep you all posted as this changes. Oh yes and hello to those in Serbia who have joined us recently.
Tuesday 16th July Hurry Canada just sneaked into the leader welcome my Canadian friends.
Wednesday 16th July Morning Holland you came from nowhere over night to take top spot thank you and enjoy what we have to offer.
Thursday 17th Russia streaked into the lead UK and America well adrift today oh well there is always tomorrow.
Friday 18th Just looked at the overnight totals and our new favourite readers are once again from Holland. Sorry Russia but our Dutch friends once again streaked back into the lead. This week it has been a gargantuan tussle between these two countries, it has been neck and neck and i hope everyone else has enjoyed the tussle as much as i have We shall have to wait and see what the weekend has in store i will keep you informed.
Tuesday 23rd July it has been a few days since i last posted varying matters have kept me away from the old keyboard bu t those matters are now resolved and i have pleasure in announcing that our Dutch friends have outstripped the rest of the world. Why i am so popular in Holland i have no idea but i sent you my thanks and wish you all the best for the coming months. I have to assume that not only are our Dutch friends finding this blog and the website interesting and that their interest extends to reading Dead men Lie. If that's the case then enjoy and relish Reverend Bayles for his evilness. More soon once i am truly back in a good place.
Wednesday 24th I was shocked to discover that my home town burst onto the scene last night. After two years of publicising my wares around town suddenly the web site was examined by almost 40 of my fellow citizens. Welcome friends you have missed so much i hope you spend the time catching up? America Holland and Russia all vied for second spot with America just pipping Russia Holland sadly finished forth never mind there is always another day. As for your jolly author i have dedicated the day to writing, my jobs are to be put on hold so that i can catch up. All i have to do is attend my granddaughters last day party at pre-school then i will immerse myself in the torrid world of Stormouth. You won't believe what that dastardly Bayles is doing. I write it and i am shocked by his depravity.
Monday 29th Sorry for being so slack but it has been a hectic weekend. Like so many the weather was pleasant and we took the grand daughter to meet Thomas the Tank Engine at a local railway. What a day accosted by a clown and i do so dislike clowns. Still the day got better when i drew down the figures for the web and blog sites. Best month ever since Dead men Lie went live just over a year ago. Our friends in Holland continue to lead the way with America and Russia vying for second place England i fear has fallen by the wayside after an impressive start. I do so hope and wish that site visits are an indicator to an increase in sales? I am not being ungrateful but once before we saw a large jump and no one bought a copy so many missed out on a great book but that is life all i can do is present our product and hope others discover what we have on offer. Now time to go raspberry picking still have loads to collect along with everything else. Looks like we shall be selling surplus very soon freezers are already full.
Sunday 10th August So sorry but i seem to have been remiss in updating this. over a fortnight since we last posted the results of our website league table and the positions have been fluid to say the least. having just examined the figures i can tell you that Ireland take stop spot once again (well done friends have a pint or two of the black stuff on me). With Holland in second place (I fear i am not aware of the national drink in Holland but whatever it is i will toast your good health in it if someone would be kind enough to tell me) taking third position is Russia (Oh dear Vodka first thing in the morning is terribly decadent but hear goes) Our American friends along with Canada and England have fallen behind somewhat but i am sure they will return eventually. Strangely the readers of my home town are conspicuous by their absence. It would seem i still have much to do to encourage this small city to read Dead Men Lie. even with the tee shirt now doing the rounds at every opportunity ( Have you heard I wear this shirt which proclaims "Dare you read the book Canterbury Council Banned.") and another which simply states "I write banned books" subtlety was never my strong point hopefully with enough time this will generate interest especially with Christmas around the corner.
Monday 12th Aug;- A quiet night was had by all. The demons stayed away last night so i slept. Demons? I hear you ask or was that just a collective yawn of abject misery? Whatever i will explain. Our little grand daughter the apple of my eye has been suffering recurring disturbed nights recently we think it is her last teeth moving but cannot be sure. Suffice to say that for a week we have been woken at 1am and i see the demons of the night before me. Shuddering in fear i claps the sheets tight around my face and an old man of middling years is once again a child with childish thoughts. Only when the brain catches up with reality do i realise that the demons i see are in fact me staring back at me from a mirror. Now with the dawn breaking over the city i have examined the nights figures and our friends in Ireland are still leading with Holland close behind America and Canada appear to have fallen away despite a few visits from those good folks in Stratford Canada Morning all. I should say welcome to Moscow and St Petersburg but the correct spelling of Dos.....escapes me. all i can say is thank you for your continued support. By the way you may be interested you may not but the Smugglers Song is 26 chapters complete the word count is 100,000 and i have the remaining third mapped out. it has taken a long time i hope the wait will prove worthwhile we shall have to see what the editor says with her red pen.
Speak soon D
