Book review of Iraqi Icicle

My reaction to  a review of my novel (Only joking)

Glenda A. Bixler is the latest reviewer of my novel Iraqi Icicle.

Glenda writes she had never heard of the band The Go-Betweens which is a regular motif in the novel. Ms Bixler went to the trouble to present a Go-Betweens sampler which heads her review.

Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together and give a big shout out to our guest reviewe,r Glenda A. Bixler.

The joy of publishing

A FUNNY thing happened – as it always does – on the way to publishing the paperback of my novel for Australia Day 2013.

I will use a metaphor or more

On a bright sunny morning, 

Elmore suddenly spoke bravely!

AUTHOR Elmore Leonard is not gunning for metaphors in his witty advice on writing style.

Lennon and I are miffed

JOHN Lennon famously returned his MBE in protest about the war in Biafra and the Beatles single Cold Turkey slipping down the charts. I won’t be receiving any Australia Day (January 26) award to return but I am mightily miffed at my novel Iraqi Icicle slipping down the charts.

CAN you help me achieve 1000+ free downloads of Iraqi Icicle this week through your social media contacts?

I am not begging, though I will if I have to.

The whole world loves freedom

I TRY not to trouble myself unduly with matters of commerce.

For five days next week, I am giving away my enovel Iraqi Icicle. I do this not because I think it makes a lot of commercial sense but because others tell me it does.

It seems the Amazon algorithms will discover me this way.

Post or past it the media Empire strikes back
