News on ebook releases

A few thoughts.

I’m not sure if I’ll be maintaining the ebook release schedule next year as I’ve done for the last few years.

I’m not getting a massive amount of downloads, I’m not getting many sales of the pay titles and the amount of time that goes into just doing the damn release is a lot.

I don’t think readers realise I am a one man operation, from creation, to edit, to proof, to cover to release and advertising. It’s not magical publishing elves, it’s just me in a different t-shirt.

As of now (Sunday 31st July 2016), no solid decision has been made. I’ll continue to do the releases this year but there is the chance this might be the end of monthly free ebooks from me.

There may be 2 pay titles being released later this year and the novel is still to be finalised then released as well.

More on this subject when I make more solid choices.

Just be aware, the gravy train may well be at an end.

On being a cross dresser

I refer you to the line “bit confident for a bloke in a dress, ain’t he?”

Eddie Izzard knows of where he speaks.

 

For myself, I once pulled my RAF 1250 (I fucking did, I’m a crazy bastard, ask anyone who knows me!) to help a friend who was being beaten up just for being “a bloke in a dress”. When you’re with the victim and the Police are being absolute cunts about the whole thing, you just have to make a stand.

 

I literally had no fucks left to give, they could have happily nicked me too. This is when I become a complete bitch. Well, I was dressed for it. The fact that the copper had to look up to maintain eye contact. “You really want to arrest BOTH of us? Good luck explaining me dressed like THIS to the RAF Police then. Oh, we’re not worth the paperwork? Then we’re leaving.”

 

I make no apologies. I am and was a crossdresser.

And I look fucking AWESOME in the red dress.

 

I’ll have you know that a lesbian once asked me to make her girlfriend jealous. “Kiss me, make her jealous.”

And it worked. “Oh, you’re a bloke? I’ll let her off then. Nice arse though.”

1990 (an RAF Poem)

1990 By Ray Daley (C) 21 Sept 2015

 

What were you doing in the summer of love?

When the world was all raving & high on drugs.

I was finding it wasn’t all wine & Stone Roses,

Where bullshit baffled brains, we were up to our noses.

So what were you doing in the summer love?

Watching jets buzz the Black Hills like seagulls above.

Buried deep in A.P’s and progress tests,

And 6 months without sleep; just a sequence of rests.

So what was I doing in the summer of love?

Just biding my time in an almost Welsh grove
