Well, I’ve only been and gone and done it (as they used to say in the old Brit flicks).

Yep. It’s done. Too late to back out now.

What? I hear you cry in exasperation.

I’ve only gone and published on Amazon.

Huge congratulations Andrew, that a massive achievement!! Reaching the goal of becoming a published author definitely merits several pints of celebration juice. Not to mention the fact that you’ve already sold a few copies! That must be an incredible feeling – there are people out there who are prepared to pay hard-earned money for the blood, sweat and tears you’ve poured into a story that comes from your very own head. Wow.

I wish you every success with this and I hope it flies off the virtual bookshelves (I resisted torturing the angels/flying theme…)

Hopefully we’ll be jousting for the top-spot on the bestseller list soon

All the best!

  Thank you Jon.
  I now have my fingers crossed that the book finds its wings. Heaven knows its been a wonderful journey making new friends – Hal-o to you all! . I feel that I finally have a feather in my cap and am, for the moment, reclining on Cloud nine.
  Sorry – couldn’t resist!

Haha!–had to laugh. Every once in a while, the God’s smile and the world spins exactly as it should. Me–my books don’t upload so nicely but that’s another story.

You’re a Published Author–congrats! Now get marketing!

Congratulations on taking the leap! It’s a scary jump, but now you’re out there and all us readers are the better for it. I’m getting an e-reader sometime in the next week or two, and your book is at the top of my list, so I look forward to being amazed.

  Thank you. It IS scary and I feel quite heady. Can’t quite believe I finally got here (with lots of help from fellow bloggers).
  
  Hope you enjoy the read – all feedback will be welcome.

  I’ve downloaded the sample and have already finished the Prologue (Echo). I’ve read enough to know that I want to read the whole darn thing. Will leave a review for you when I’m finished.
