My free sticker collection arrived today, courtesy of Sticker Mule.

The designs and quality are outstanding!

I’ll be putting these to very good use.

Thank you @stickermule

Released only in 1988, and with virtually none remaining in circulation, the only way to acquire one of these collector’s items today is through a dealer.

There are a number of coin and note dealers on eBay that are selling this item in mint condition and in its Reserve Bank packaging from 35 years ago.

The one that I purchased, that you see in the photos, cost $40 plus postage.

‘Rollerball’ (1975) is without doubt a science fiction classic.

But there is one scene in this film that I always found totally insane, when at around the halfway mark, a group of society elites decide to burn half a dozen trees.

There was no CGI back when this film was made, so chances are these are real trees being destroyed, although the producers claim this is not the case. Personally, I don’t believe them.

However, what makes the scene truly disturbing are the nutcases causing the destruction, as highlighted in the screen captures below.

But to truly appreciate this cinematic masterpiece, one needs to watch the mayhem for themselves.

I’m pretty sure this belongs to me, in theory at least.

From an exposure point-of-view, this is awesome!

I’m not sure about the price, though.

I signed up for pay-per-click advertising on Amazon a month ago, so let’s see how that is progressing.

Below is a screenshot of my statistics, with a few comments added.

The number of impressions is really good to be honest, and has been on the increase after a slow start. So people are paying attention, if not clicking or buying.

I set aside a budget of $150, of which the amount of clicks has cost me $6.21 so far.

But to make this work, and for the costs involved to even out, I did need to sell two books by this time. To begin making a profit, I needed to sell three or more. This is not a huge ask, so I think some sales are not too far away.

I can always make some keyword adjustments and maybe be a little more aggressive with my price bidding.

Overall, I can’t complain about what I’ve paid for. At the end of the day, Amazon cannot force anyone to buy anything; all they can do is put your product in more places where it can be seen. To that end, they have delivered on their part of the deal.

The consensus from other sellers who have invested in these ads all say that it does take a little time to see results. From what I can see from my graph is that I have keywords and search terms in the right areas, so now we play the waiting game.

What’s up with the retail price?

Am I missing something? (Besides royalties)

With my novels now being advertised across Kindle, I decided a serious facelift was in order.

Hopefully these changes might make the books appear a little more enticing and generate some sales.

I have both old and new covers on display below – old to the left and new to the right.

My latest novel is available to purchase.

This is my first attempt at writing a political thriller/adventure.

The Kindle edition is on sale at amazon.com.au for $4.50, which I think is exceptional value.

Last night I created a Facebook page, for the sole purpose of promoting my work.

However, I ran into some early trouble….

Suspended within ten hours of launching the page for breaching community standards.

But after a quick appeal, I received an immediate answer saying that my page DOES adhere to these rules, and I was reinstated.

What is going on?

This book is getting more exposure than any of my other releases, but it is not translating into sales.

To hopefully correct this, I have created a new, more enticing cover.

Old….. …to new.

It looks like a horror story now!
