@Linnaeus_Writer As someone once said, there are no atheists in foxholes. (attributed to an US Army chaplain after the Battle of Bataan 7th Jan to 9th Apr 1942). So I guess it does play a role in my books.

@Angelcalling5 But the imposition of the inheritance tax has nothing to do with Brexit. Why are you conflating the two? Are you saying they deserve to be punished? So will Labour will be punishing fishermen next? They voted for Brexit too.

@jzpitts If you have built up a following, keeping that following fed with new books is one way to succeed. But it is not the only way. Building up a relationship with readers so they are eagerly awaiting your next release (however long you delay) also works.

@struutinsky It depends on the point from which you started. If you were trying to get from 0% to 100% you didn't waste your time, even if you only got to 90%. If you started at 90% and were trying to get to 100%, you may have been wasting your time by only getting to 91%.

@moyra_grant JSO protesters were protesting illegally because they didn't have permission for their protests. The farmers' protest had permission. When you break the law, you get locked up. When you act legally, you don't.

@rohan_oduill I don't know why authors think that promoting on social media sells books. It may have done once upon a time, but now there are so many authors doing it that users just scroll past those posts. Yes, I promote on social media and yes I scroll past other authors' promos.

@SusanSavageLee1 Lots of heroes kill. Perhaps the best known amongst the current crop is Jack Reacher. It is the justification for the killing that is important. Self defence or to save someone else - OK. Greed or revenge, not OK.

@JonathanPieNews She didn't dismantle industries. She put dying industries out of their misery by withdrawing the state subsidies which were all that was keeping them alive. Subsidies which were due to become illegal under EU law anyway.

@100glitterstars The greatest confidence tricksters in the world come across as decent, honest and sincere. If they didn't they could never commit their deceptions. You can't base an opinion on appearances, only on outcomes.

@_Knight_writer I believe the accepted number is 1 in 15 downloads or sales result in a review. But that will be an average, so some books will get more and some less. The number is lower (better) for star ratings, probably because they only require a button click.

@StoniAstley When I hand over my cash I'm a customer. When I sit at home and read my book I'm just someone who loves reading books. Consumer doesn't apply as the book still exists after it has been read, so it hasn't been consumed.

@Angelcalling5 The farmers had permission to hold their protest. Just Stop Oil doesn't ask for permission, they just turn up, which is illegal. So, "two tier protesting" would be more accurate.

@joeclark_343 Britain's mandate in Palestine between the wars encouraged Jews to try to return to what they regarded as their Promised Land. Which is probably why Middle Eastern politicians opposed the idea when it was mooted by Churchill. It set the scene, in part, for what we have today.
