Inside the Clock - A novel about time travel based on a true story

Hey I can't believe how well my book is doing on Amazon. I never actually thought I would be an author but my novel "Inside the Clock" based on a true story, has been published in the Amazon Kindle store. What I'm doing now is to trying to publicise it by going door to door with cards while I collect my window cleaning money!

The way Amazon works is that the higher your book gets, the more good reviews it has then the higher it goes again to a place where more people begin to see it so more buy it.... you get the picture. It's a place where a lot of writers would dearly love to be; including me. But I look at it this way;  I never imagined I would write two books and have thousands of people read them. That in itself is a privilege even if most of those books were acquired whilst they were on offer for free.

I am trying to look at it altruistically rather than be disappointed that I never made a fortune out of it.

This book called "Inside the Clock" is actually based on a true story of something that happened to me for real in 1969. It was nothing extraordinary but it was something that has bugged me for years. All the characters in the book are actually real as are the places and animals. It is a real story but with some fiction thrown in to make it interesting. In this way I am able to write with confidence since I was actually there and most of the events described in the book did take place right down to the news events of the era.

I have several interesting reviews so far which gives me some confidence. The person giving one of the reviews seemed to think that I had actually travelled back in time. But anyway, make up your own minds as to what is real and what is fiction in this, my first novel - "Inside the Clock"
