Mother-in-Law, Son-in-Law on sale!

Update Sunday 16th November: Mother-in-Law, Son-in-Law has now shot up to 45,323 in the Amazon sales ranks (out of 3 million +) and it's only been on sale for a day.


My daughter Jodie, last week on a night out in Manchester. I'm proud of publishing my first novel. But not as proud as I am of my gorgeous children and grandson!



Finally, after four years of fairly constant struggle, self-doubt, panic, fear, determination, stubborness and dogged refusal to give in, my first novel is published. I've chosen to set up a publishing house to do it, because I believe that self-publishing and Print on Demand are revolutionising the publishing industry and that New Publishing, a phrase first coined by one of the gurus of the movement, Aaron Shepard, is here to stay.

You can buy Mother-in-Law, Son-in-Law here for less than the price of a round of drinks in the pub, and you get free postage and packing as well. My Client Services Rep told me last week that the pre-orders considering the book hadn't even been released were staggering, which bodes well.There are over 3 million titles on Amazon and even before my book was available the pre-orders had shot it up to 250,000 in the rankings. Amazon rankings change by the hour so don't hold that much store by them. Basically, if the book gets in the top 1,000 through genuine sales, we've got something to celebrate. The best things in the life are always the result of the hardest work though...

The first page in the book is a specified dedication page so you can write a personal message when giving the book as a gift.



Here's Chapter 1:

My wife doesn’t understand me.

But my mother-in-law does.

My wife doesn’t want to fuck me.

But my mother-in-law does.

My wife is always off having ‘down time’ with her secret life.

My mother-in-law’s got a secret life too.

With me.

The book has been written as a literary alternative to Viagra (only much cheaper and works time and time again.) It's not a high-faluting arty- farty heavyweight book, it's easy to read and hopefully entertaining as well as arousing. If you order it from Amazon now you'll get it in plenty of time for Christmas. Anyone who has helped specifically with this book is thanked in the acknowledgements section.
