They say there are two things certain in life: death and taxes. There’s something else too: when you’re an indie writer, whatever you’ve tried with regard to promotion and marketing, it’s been done before by most of the others, and all with the same results — it inevitably ends up back at the drawing board.

I read a post from an author during the week about her attempts at whatever is ‘flavour of the month’. I found myself reading, nodding…

This is a book I picked up last week and I have started reading it.   I will give more details on how I liked the book in around a week.

While most people are familiar with

the principle of ‘sowing and reaping’,

it can be difficult to distinguish

between Fact and Fiction; gleaning

the Truth sometimes takes time, so

that the authentic and the fake can…

be properly separated. Sad jealousies

are found when the evil works of Man

bloom against the stark contrast of

God’s reality; seeing the good and bad,

subtly reinforces our understanding of

the wheat and tares; let us be…

The relationship between Christ

and Yahweh is an eternal dialogue;

a constant communication ensures

His intercession isn’t a backlog

of burdens, borne out of the pain

He suffered and endured at Calvary.

Having been clothed with the dust

of Humanity, He understood beauty

that’s found in our soul’s nature.

After all, we were made to worship

Him openly, freely and easily, with

an unfeigned heart of fellowship.

Made in His image, with…

Your pain and disappointment

should never be a hindrance

from accomplishing the plan

and purpose God has for you.

Isn’t our Life… a sacrament,

meant to be divinely poured

out, to honor our Creator?

As His children, we receive

His instruction and veracity,

as we carry our holy sword

and Hope that keeps us humble.

Discern the contrast to pain

and disappointment; find God’s

Joy, Mercy and His acceptance

without the need… to…

So far, "The Odyssey" (Book One of the Java Gold Series) has received TEN five star reviews ((Eight on Goodreads, two on Amazon) and a number of very flattering reviews. Here's an example

“The Java Gold: Book 1: The Odyssey” by Robert Kingsley was a real treat. As keen reader of history books with a lesser known setting or perspective, this ticked a lot of boxes, and it really did it well. With well researched…

A pretty full week for me one way or another: most of it consumed by tackling PC problems, uploading files and generally scratching my head when I lose my way. My book sales have progressed at a reasonable pace, but nowhere near where I would like them to be (naturally); however, I believe I can see the results of becoming more involved with other authors and giving a few books away.

I have been exchanging emails with Ingram Spark as I…
