Boness

Wednesday 8.50 p.m.
                                 Brian Wilson took us in his caravanette to Bo'ness today. We also went to a railway museum and saw a steam engine. We walked beside a castle and looked over the wall at the Forth. I cannot remember what the castle was called. It was really cold. We should have had the bikes stuck onto the caravanette, but the weather in the morning was most discouraging, so we just went to Bo'ness in the caravanette, and walked about a bit.
                                While I was doing this, I realised that this was the kind of thing old people do. They drive their caravanettes to Bo'ness and then walk about a bit. Have a wee cup of tea maybe and then go home. And it was really most enjoyable. We could do it with our free bus passes next week. We could go to Falkirk. But if we did that we would not get lost on the way home. Getting lost on the way home is always a feature of going anywhere with Brian Wilson. It just seemed to be one big spagetti junction to me as we trundled along in the rush hour, heading for the snow covered Pentlands.
                                I had to spend some time over the last couple of days on the clicky clicky ebook marketing malarkey. I had all my books on for free yesterday and they were downloaded just a bit over a thousand times, which is not a lot.
                                The corresponding on the discussion threads is sometimes quite good really. Here's a bit:
LOL, John! Never hand someone your book and say, "good luck with that"! It's bad marketing:) J/K

I was a school librarian for a year and so far, according to your book, Scottish schools are EXACTLY like American schools. Too much admin, not enough learning. I'm just not as imaginative as your protagonist. Probably a good thing. This is such a funny book so far - and I have a pretty demanding sense of humor. Thanks for a fun couple of hours this afternoon; I can't wait to finish it.

Wow, John. That's great! I'll go ahead and add your books to StorySwag this Saturday, so hopefully that'll help, too. In my tweets, I've played up the buddhist angle, because that's pretty popular here - hope you don't mind.

And as far as what you said about talking a little differently: when I read your posts, you sound like Sean Connery in my head. That man's voice makes me absolutely swoon...and I'm not a swooner:)

          What do you think, Jack? Ask her to marry you, Hotboy, if she's rich and blind and half demented. She said they have green mountains in West Virginia. She's called Jimelle Salyers. You could google her and check out her books. I haven't read a novel in ..... at least a year!
