Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

[Fading Fast]

Oh wow, well done you. Fame is not for me, but I wouldn't mind the extras that go with it, like an increasing income. My classic car is on the books of an agent that specialises in such things. So far it's booked for a number of weddings during the summer. Not bad at £250 per wedding, and only for a couple of hours work, that's roughly $400. The car has also earned me royalties for use in a couple of promotional flyers.

What I need now is some television work. Did you know that you not only get well paid for the use of a such a car, you also get a pre-agreed royalty payment, every time it comes up on a repeat, on any TV network, anywhere in the world. It certainly beats working for a living.

Now all I need is a car like Inspector Morse's and a highly successful television series to go with it.

I never thought about it - and I guess, why not - but it is funny (and good for you and other car owners) that the car gets royalty payments each time the show or commercial airs. I would have thought that an inanimate object would have received a one-time fee, but again, good for you and others, just not something I would have guessed.

It took me YEARS to find an agent! This was the fifth novel I queried! A lot of it was all about the market, too. World War II historical fiction was not hot for a very long time. My rejections usually said, "Sorry, WW2 fiction is a hard sell." But that is changing now, I'm happy to say.

I would have thought there would be a better market for that genre. Hmm... Well, yours will will be the biggest of them! Congrats and good luck!

It's gotten quite big now. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the war - I think that the further away in history it gets, the more people consider it "historical fiction."

Thanks for the congrats!

Better than some ridiculous historical romance.

In all fairness, I cut my teeth on writing historical romance.

I don't write it anymore, but I do always have a love story of sorts in my stories. Not the main focus though.

Not those bodice ripper things?!

Wow, Powers is down quite a bit.
Hard to get good spammers these days, because apparently they all work for Facebook.

Like I ever do. It is all the jealousy that keeps me going.

Who wouldn't be jealous?

I'm probably 'overly jealous' at the prime quality of the top dawgs posts...

Some days are more productive than others. Golf counts are work. Yesterday I played 23 holes and it felt like work the next day. Then again, we also had a Dads' Club against eighth graders basketball game at about 7pm that night too.
