The Lonely Heart Attack Club - my new book.

[studmuffin]

Forum friends - I've just published book number four and hoped you would help me spread the word.  It's a romantic comedy set in the Isle of Man.   

!

 

 

When Helen walked out on Jack, she left him with three things: 

1. The lease on a decrepit flat that fortunately only had a couple of months to run. 
2. The lease on a failing coffee shop - that had ‘always been her dream’.
3. Horace the cat. 

The client base on the once thriving shop was now threadbare. 

The salvation for Jack - and the shop - could be right in front of his very eyes; the beautiful and underappreciated shop assistant and friend, Emma. Her insistence that Jack cared about someone – other than himself – would bring him closer to those who were keeping his business alive; his elderly customers. 

A disgraced, ex-BBC presenter and a world record attempt would also be a key ingredient in the success of the Isle of Man’s only dating and social club for the elderly – The Lonely Heart Attack Club.

bit harsh

 

edit to add :- my response was in relation to a comment made by a poster in response to the OP's initial post which has now been removed

I don't see what's harsh about it. 

[Craig King]

It was a good comment and I thought it was rather funny and apt. I'll read the book to see if there are any more possible allegories.

Maybe it was harsh, maybe it wasn't. But it wasn't a comment that added to the subject matter and the person concerned can be a bit touchy about my comments, so if dilligaf and paswt thought it was harsh maybe he would to. So it wasn't a comment that I especially wanted to get drawn into a long conversation defending so I deleted. 

[paswt]

I only said a "bit" harsh, not "bang out of order"

Oh, I hadn't seen your contribution. The dumb, pointless privilege that subscribers get of ability to delete with no record left often leads to confusion such as mine in this thread.

I thought it was quite funny. Not in a cruel way. More like gentle banter. I would have laughed if I was  the person concerned. I would hope he would too

Agreed, I chuckled too, not in a mean way. Can I just say, in case he wants royalties, any similarities to persons living or... you know the rest.

If I sign up for kindle unlimited and read your book on the 30 day free trial do you still get the same amount as if I bought your book outright? Sounds a bit tight I know, and probably would end up costing me thousands of pounds by the time I got round to remembering to cancel the account, rather like the netflix one that I haven't used or cancelled in 5 years, but in that momen it would be nice to feel good about doing good while someone else was paying.

Don't bother...the Butler did it.

[the stinking enigma]

If not I'm going to buy it anyway and the "person concerned" is already a dead cert buyer. Good luck

Morning.  On KU the author gets paid per page read rather than a total amount. The amount differs each month.  If you like reading, KU is a great option.
