What, wi...Come now, Andrew - only just discovered? What, with all those titles under your belt? If so, beware - it is little short of a disease. Though my suspicion is that your admission is simply a cunning ploy to get more coverage for your new novel (which looks very entertaining, I must say) I shall give you the benefit of the doubt and simply pass on the advice that it is a slippery slope to insanity. I have seven books out there (plus a couple of Quick Reads) and I am an addict. I check mine at least hourly when I'm at my desk - it's the modern equivalent of a fag break but with the potential to transport me to either paradise or despair. Plus - and this is NOT good - they now also have a facility to tell the populace that 'after viewing this item, X percent of people went on to buy it', which means every time you succumb to your craving, you are actually harming your stats. Arrgh!! You know, I've actually signed up to blogger just so I could comment on your post. How sad is that? Now I shall have to blog a bit, I guess. But it's good in another way, because you're a ghostwriter, and, as I've just ghostwritten my first memoir, I can hopefully harangue you for tips. I also see you have a book out on the subject, so perhaps I should stump up and buy it...Lynne Barrett-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14071163962913978062noreply@blogger.com
