Tomorrow, St George's Day, sees the official release of George and the Dragon.


The book is already available to buy, there are delays while both Kindle and Smashwords approve the novel, but I have done limited marketing.  However, I've still sold 6 copies to interested parties.  4 of which appear to be in the US which is great because I don't personally know people who live in the US so they are interested in the work not just buying it because they are friends or family and feel obliged to do so.

If you are reading this and are interested in purchasing the novel you can head over to www.georgeandthedragon.co.uk and there are links to both versions on there.

I realise that selling the book is more of a marathon that a sprint, however, I would like to see a reasonable initial take up tomorrow.

We shall see.  I've done a lot of platform building as this blog attests and have access to 5000+ twitter followers whom I'm hoping will show interest in the novel, retweet my tweets and generally help me with my sales.  There are always other worries, have I priced the novel to high.  Have I done the right thing with not choosing to go with Kindle Select.

When all is said and done these are choices I have made and now I just have to see where my decisions take me.  We have a few marketing ideas to start with and I have ideas moving forwards.

This time tomorrow I'll know if I've been even partially successful.

Wish me luck.
