Draft2Digital publishes to a wide range of retailers. Some I’d never heard of, but others include Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and even libraries. Imagine that, you can now borrow my books from your local library. Google Books is another major retailer, and I’ve uploaded my books there too. Publishing usually takes around 24… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Update on Publishing

Karen’s Chat – Amazon, it was nice knowing you.
Amazon has deleted my book account. As far as they’re concerned, I no longer exist there. Apart from a few unavailable paperbacks and anthologies, there is no trace of me. Why? Because I uploaded an anthology under the Electric Eclectic Books brand. It was meant to join the two I published a couple of years… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Amazon, it was nice knowing you.
Karen’s Chat on Horses
When I was eight, living in Whalley Range in Manchester, two sisters from up the road would take me on the bus across town to the leafy suburb of Whitefield, where there were horse‑riding stables. The pony I learned to ride was a little one called Champion. I can still remember hanging on for dear… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Horses
Karen’s Chat – If Walls Could Talk
How many times have you said that in your life? I still whisper it in quiet moments when I think about the people who lived in my house before me. We moved a lot when I was growing up, but one house in particular has stayed with me. It was where I spent my teenage… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – If Walls Could Talk
Karen’s Chat about Ice Hockey
Yes, I know it’s a strange subject, especially coming from someone like me who isn’t a sports fan and knows little about it. What I do know is that it’s becoming more popular. Last night, there was a feature on the BBC’s The One Show, which highlighted its growing appeal, particularly after a recent TV… Continue reading Karen’s Chat about Ice Hockey

Karen’s Chat – I’ve just done something I’ve never done before.
I belong to a wonderful writing group on Facebook and every year they do something called Music March. Every day we are give a music prompt, a song title and we write a story around it, I am so pleased with myself. I now have 31 story stories, all under 1,000 words. I’ve never written… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – I’ve just done something I’ve never done before.
I Have A Newsletter!
I recently moved my monthly newsletter from MailerLite to WordPress. Although I wanted a newsletter, the platform was a pain to work with. I love my website hosted by WordPress and soon came to realise, I wanted the newsletter here, too. So, that’s what I’ve done and April 1st will be the first one. For… Continue reading I Have A Newsletter!
Karen’s Chat – Alexa v Audio Books
I sometimes use the Alexa app to read Kindle books to me when my eyes are tired but I’m not quite ready to stop reading. Of course, it isn’t perfect. Her nuances are often a little off, and occasionally she sounds as though she’s reading a weather report rather than a dramatic moment—but it’s acceptable,… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – Alexa v Audio Books
Karen’s Chat – I am so Excited!
Well… I’m absolutely thrilled today, and I have to tell you why. If you follow my blog and my book reviews, you might have noticed that I’ve been steadily making my way through the DCI Harry Grimm crime thrillers. They’re written by David J. Gatward, and I’ve just finished book 23. Yes, twenty-three! At this… Continue reading Karen’s Chat – I am so Excited!
