It has taken me a long time to get around to updating my website. I kept having messages
to say that an engineer would call and update my current system. No sign of him and
finally SKY admitted they could not update the broadband in my area. It would have saved
me from having to stay in on numerous occasions expecting an engineer.
As Gardners had removed me from their suppliers list I have investigated other options.
After consultation with my computer man I decided that I would just sell books through
Amazon. I had a very busy time when I had over 30 orders arrive in the same day for
copies of ‘Yannis’.
This meant that I no longer had any paper copies of ‘Yannis’ or ‘Joseph’. All my books are
on Kindle and both ‘Yannis’ and ‘Joseph’ are available from Amazon as ‘print on demand.’
Having finally finished writing ‘Lukas’ I handed it over to Jason, my computer man. Jason
did all the typesetting and also designed the cover so it resembled all the other books. This
was very time consuming for him. I certainly could not manage without his advice and
expertise. Once again it is only available as ‘print on demand’ from Amazon or the Kindle
version..
Jason has done a tremendous amount of work on my behalf. He is gradually converting
my books into audio versions. It does mean that I have to listen to the audio books and
correct the pronunciation of the Greek words. Very time consuming. The only problem is
that we are not happy with the automated voice of the current reader that Amazon supply.
There is no expression or emphasis. We are still looking at a way around this before we
make any of them ‘live’.
I had a lovely holiday in Elounda in June, staying at The Mill again. I had planned to visit
Elounda again in September when a number of our English friends would be staying there.
We had missed them during our June visit. Then came the disappointment. Yiorgo, at The
Mill, was fully booked until late September and my friend had family commitments at that
time. Luckily I had contacted Yiorgo before I booked our flights.
Deciding that we must be grateful for visiting in June 2026 we have booked Yiorgo and
also our flights for next May 2027. Then, most unexpectedly, our friends who have Villa
LouLa invited us to spend a week there with them in October. Of course we have said yes
and are looking forward to being there with them.
I thoroughly enjoyed the heatwave we had in England this year, although I know a number
of people found it unbearably hot. I just hope that when it starts to rain properly it will be
mostly over night. I still have plenty of work I want to get on with outside in my gardens.
