I wrote a book about being in a covers band

Thanks pmbomb, I'm not sure which one is least eco-friendly.

tough call. environmental cost of distributing digital compared to dead tree, negligible. but environmental cost of making iPad compared to dead tree, astronomical.

Excellent news, thanks Phil. Any and all reviews gratefully accepted on amazon or goodreads - whether well written or just stabbing at keys with your thumbs - all helps with the algorithms.

Consider it done, hope it helps.

Thank you

I liked the Tim character  

Looking forward to part II. 

How have you found being back in a band lol?

Dave_Vader

There's a certain atmosphere now, since they've all read the book

And they know I'm doing a sequel

The sequel has a lot of Tim, so I'm very glad you like him.

Awesome

To those of you who liked my other books, I've got a new one out today.

 You can get it here

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gap-Years-Dave-Holwill-ebook/dp/B07MQFLDKX

If you didn't, go ahead and ignore this, thanks

Since there's a bit of love going around, I'm going to shamelessly promote this one, which does have some music stuff in, features George and the Artful Badgers more than it should, and revisits a couple of scenes from Weekend Rockstars from a different perspective.

It is in no way a sequel, I just thought it would be fun to tie them together.

Tim does pop up, but he only gets half a paragraph.

Anyone who fancies a read of my third book - as described in the previous post - it's FREE on Amazon until Monday in celebration of my 13th wedding anniversary and the bank holiday weekend.

Apologies for the spammy post, and not being around much - day job is stupid busy at the moment, and now I've got a deadline for a novel I haven't actually quite finished yet....

Will be back to normal soon

I’ve got the first and it looks ace although I’ve not had chance to read it all yet. Got so many books to read and amazon keep chucking new ones at me for 99p and when I see one that looks like I will enjoy it it’s tempting to buy

Dave_Vader

I've got a similar problem. My to-read pile is virual these days, but no smaller than the teetering stack of paperbacks next to the bed used to be (and still is if I'm honest).

Dave_Vader

If you haven't got your free preview of Chapter one yet then congratulations for having the sense to wait until I finished the big edit and replaced it with a much better version

which you can get here for nothing.

Thank you for your time...

Dave_Vader

If you're still on the fence about this book of mine then you can get it FOR FREE

For the next week or two if you subscribe to my mailing list here

https://storyoriginapp.com/giveaways/28c0a7cc-405d-11ea-929c-0b6117e6eb2a?fbclid=IwAR3PLNZoUgJXz45SFTaimO7QoracqbEjZZkwFEzcJCTIoSJjiIfE78x0Uec

I don't mind one bit if you then immediately unsubscribe, and it's got that preview chapter in the back of it as well

What have you got to lose?

Nothing

That's what.

Enjoy your free book

hollywoodrox

Thank you David  I will look forward to reading it . I bought the first one and have yet to read it yet as I have a lot of books on kindle and physical books I am working my way through. Amazon keeps testing me with 99p ones

It is a real problem - I have so many things backed up to read, and then there are things I'd like to read again, and then I worry I might not have enough time left to read everything I want to read or see all the movies I want to see or hear all the music I want to hear

And then I realise there are much worse problems to have.

There is a pile of books next to my bed, three of them Christmas presents, which I might get through by next Christmas. Worse, there are a couple on the shelves which I bought as a student in the ‘70s intending to read them when I had more time. Life must have been busy.

hollywoodrox

I got the Steve lukather one for Christmas  it’s stunningly brilliant .

im looking forward to reading Dave’s two though.
