Here's the Deal
I have many readers and others who buy my books. I thought, why not combine the two by offering them a deal? Here goes:
If you buy the physical copy of any of my books, I'll reciprocate with one of the following;
What do you say? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
If you buy the physical copy of any of my books, I'll reciprocate with one of the following;
- I'll rewrite your website landing page for you, up to 300 words, making it SEO friendly. Google will love you.
- I'll either post a lengthy comment on your blog (up to 500 words), or blog about you on this site, mentioning you and providing a link to your blog or website.
- I'll either edit any document, presentation, corporate statement or press release (up to five pages or 1,000 words), or rewrite any of the same up to 500 words.
What do you say? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
If this sounds like a good deal, simply buy the physical copy of any of my books. A good starting point is Snob's Guide to New Zealand Alternatively you may choose any of my three novels
Why the physical copy? Self-interest, I make more money out of the paperback.
How to collect: take a selfie on your computer, using any of the many tools available for this, Skype comes to mind. Then email me using the contact form >>>>> over there on the right. I'll reply, whereupon you then send me the selfie image of you holding the book or displaying it (if you're bashful, conceal your face, ahem).
That completed, I'll then do as promised, you just say what you want done.
Will this work for you? It could, there are no guarantees but I've got some pretty good blog posts out there floating around. My reporting on the claims that Prince Charles and Camilla have a love child went ballistic and still drives traffic to my blog nearly four years later. I've even seen the post appearing as a rich snippet (you know, the things that appear at the start of Google search results), even though I've never bothered setting any of my posts as rich snippets or structured data - go figure.
Will I have the time to do this for you? Probably, I figure only a few will take up the offer, but the effort will be worthwhile.

Readers
From time to time I report the breadth of this blog in terms of readership. The top countries for the past month were (in order):
France
Russia
United States
New Zealand
Canada
Australia
UK
Ireland
Ukraine
Brazil
Good to see Brazil and Australia beginning to read my thoughts and considered opinions. Welcome aboard. The USA has been deposed from the top spot, probably because I haven't been talking about US this and that so much.
My second novel The Crushing Son has begun to sell in both the physical and digital form. Yay. It's not a bad read, give it a try. Please buy the paperback, I make more that way. Amazon has an interesting business model, they appear to still favour the physical product of bound books over their own Kindle. I don't understand why but they're probably right given they're taking over the sale of books worldwide.
For my next novel I'm considering bleeding one or two chapters onto Wattpad, what do you think?

Basketball Obsession and The Crushing Son
The Kindle versions of my two novels are available right now for free. For a limited time only as they say. Please download your free copy and read on your computer using Amazon's free Kindle reader software or buy a Kindle device and really cut loose.
If you like the stories then please review the books on Amazon. Despite being widely read, actually getting reviews seems more difficult than it looks, that is real reviews, I don't pay people to review my work.
You can also buy a paperback copy. I have a good conversion rate, meaning people who read the stories in Kindle format then often buy the book. I make more money this way, the royalties on the actual physical book are better than those from the electronic version.
The two books can be downloaded for free here:

Promotion to start 2017
Through an Amazon promotion I am making my two novels free as a Kindle read on the 1st and 2nd of January 2017. You can download and read an electronic version of these two great reads on those dates.
Physical paperback copies are available from CreateSpace. I have a high conversion rate from Kindle to the physical book, meaning many who begin reading the books on Kindle or on their computer, like the books so much they go and buy them in print.
>>Click Here for My Latest Book<<
The Crushing Son is set in the quarrying industry on the Gold Coast, Australia. The title is a play on words; the rival families work crushing rock, one of the sons crushes the father over time, and the oppressive heat crushes the spirit.
>>Click Here for my First Novel<<
Pitched at the young adult reader level, Basketball Obsession is set in the only town in New Zealand where basketball reigns instead of rugby. That town is Nelson, and we follow the fortunes of a team with obvious talent but little cohesion at the start. Pete is the team's power forward and he holds the team together as they advance to nationals and a shot at glory.

The Crushing Son
I am pleased to announce the release of my second novel, The Crushing Son. It is set on the Gold Coast, Australia, in the quarrying and concrete industry. It's a business I know a lot about. The story is about family rivalry, intense competition, feuds and the heat that oppresses everyone.
