Sorry I never read your first book or manuscript so I don't have much of an idea of what you did in your life except from what you posted here, and I'd have to make up the bits I don't really know.

How many pages was your manuscript and when was it actually published?
I know, it never got past the publishing stage. It's just a manuscript on a hard drive at this point.
IT was about 360 pages It never got published, I never had the money to publish.
 
Postcards from New Zealand

Greetings from Lanolinland!
I am Lanolin. I sent I_am_Canadian a postcard about two months ago, and I still haven't received any postcard back! That card cost me $3.50 in stamps so it wasn't cheap.
I am furious at the Postman/woman because he may not be doing His/Her job. I am considering writing in and complaining to NZ post on their slow service picking up the Airmail at Mangere Airport from Canada.
Unless, there is a conspiracy of cans afoot in the great nation of Canada, which I heard started burning with Hellfire last week.
Oh dear, I hope Mr I_am_Canadian is alright and not locked up in some prison near Alcatraz or Prince Edward Island or whatever Northern Hemisphere Island in nearest to Ontario.

Who knows? I am Lanolin. AMA. Ask Me Anything. If anyone knows anything about anything, it should be me.
lol, Lanolin, I calculated the time you sent it to the time it arrived it's about 3 weeks which means you should get the one I sent next week.

Start... "Once upon a time, there lived....

There is no deadline...I don't know how long you'll live though.
And end it "... and they lived happily ever after?"

Yeah, I don't know how long I'll live either. :cool:
 
When we've been there, ten thousand years....

How does that amazing song go again?
 
You are the last person to postcard me.

The previous penultimate person to postcard me, was holidaying in the Gold Coast of Australia.
 
I'm going to send you another card to enter the competition.

I just need to write down your address again. Hope you haven't moved.
 
@seoulsearch do you have enough material for your complete guide to Whangdoodles book yet?

I think everyone is tired of hearing about them now. Well I am.

But in other New York Times Bestselling news James Patterson has written another paperback.

When I was working at the bookstore, we had the special in-store radio station, and every couple of songs they'd have promos/ads for books. Well was working there (I did 4 hour shifts) and every ad was for the new David Walliams book, till I got sick of hearing about him bang on about it.

He writes at least one every two months or so. They are hugely popular for kids, I remember everyone liked World's Worst Parents and World's Worst Teachers.

I was more keen on the Demon Dentist. He don't need to look very far for inspiration. But teachers hated him just as much as they used to hate Roald Dahl lol. It bought all their insecurities to the fore and nobody likes being made fun of by a popular children's author.

I'm still gleaning information, mostly through following @CarriePie and @Charlesiii's posts in another thread.

This is something I really love about the forum!

There's plenty of room, so those who want to keep talking about something can, and those who don't want to hear about it anymore have thousands of other threads to choose from, and/or, can always start their own! 😎
 
My next paperback read is going to be The People's Princess by Flora Harding

Blurb on back says

Two princesses

Two hundred years apart

Destined to change the monarchy forever.......

BUCKINGHAM PALACE, 1981

For Lady Diana Spencer, her engagement to Prince Charles
feels like a dream come true. But marrying the heir to the throne
of England is not all that it seems. Bored and alone in the palace,
she discovers a diary written in the 1800s, belonging to Princess
Charlotte of Wales, a young woman born into a gilded
cage like herself.

What Diana discovers is a story not unlike her own; a story of
love, loyalty and limelight, where both women's popularity with
the public often overshadows the men by their sides.





 
I thought Princess Diana's favourite books were Barbara Cartland...not ancient diaries ...unless it was a novel by Barbara Cartland pretending to be the diary of a Princess Charlotte of Wales, who I'm not even sure exists :D
