  Kirkus loved it, but so do readers . . . and you're only $3 from happiness.
  This is the second post reflecting on all that's gone before. If you've not read the previous posts, you might want to backtrack a little first. [<<Previous post in series. <<First post in series.]
  I'll be sure to let you know what happens. Oh, and if you'd like to buy the damn book – and I'd really, really like it if you did – you can get it
  Here if you're American
  and here if you're British.
  Thanks, very much, for reading.
  A brilliant and brave series of blogs, Harry. Thank you for highlighting just how complex the situation can be. So many issues could be dealt with if publishers and agents included authors in discussions. There seems to be an assumption that we're not quite grown-up enough to be consulted.
  Harry, this series has been a real eye-opener. It does seem a bit ridiculous to exclude the author so much from the equation; lets hope things do start to change for the better where it needs to.
  Oh and finding new books to read? I love browsing in my local charity bookshop – cheap as chips, you never know what you might find, and there's always the smell…
  Thanks for being so honest and for daring to share.
  Loved this series. It has been a great journey. One, in truth, that I'm looking forward to, as a relative novice. You have opened our eyes, and whilst I am an eternal optimist, I will at least move forward with my pursuits with my eyes wide open.

  Wonderful series of revealing and honest pieces. My own 'best seller' may be published traditionally if someone recognises its brilliance. If not, I shall forge ahead with the self-pub model – and won't those folk who turned me down be laughing on the other side of their faces? Well, they will… won't they?
