Now I’ve got some kind of handle on what works and what doesn’t, I’ve gone into writing mode to take advantage of the quiet winter to come. With an almost 30% rate from Lanark and Arran, I should concentrate on trying to learn from that. With 7,500 copies to go, if I can get anywhere close to that result, the project will be an astonishing success. The thing is that being a quiet island, I won’t shift many books in the cold months. Given the honesty of the people here and the fact that many love the book, I am happy to compromise.

This means that I can write at the same time as I slowly spread the word to let more potential readers know about the project.

Book Three is now underway and I’m loving it!
