There is something quite raw and almost primeval about the indie self-publishing world - despite the friendly back-slapping, good-natured, supportive banter on this forum (all of it genuine and heart-felt, don't get me wrong), beneath the surface nevertheless the writers amongst us are desperately trying to succeed as authors. For most of us, most of the time (I suspect) we struggle bravely, but we know that the odds are not in our favour. Against that rather negative backdrop (and here I'll own up to be feeling particularly down today), it's a real boost to see that real talent can get the recognition it richly deserves.

I haven't had a chance to read your books yet Stu, and even if I hadn't already decided to do so (which I had - as soon as Father Christmas delivers my Kindle) these reviews would have had me clamouring at Amazon's doors for my copies.

Well done, and congratulations.

Try kindle for PC!

Thanks so much Alex for your kind words. I agree that at times it can be a struggle - yet it is a worthy and passionate struggle! In terms of my books, Tollesbury Time Forever (the first in the FRUGALITY Trilogy) is now out in paperback if that helps.

Thanks again mate - anything I can do for a fellow nice man, let me know!

This review is from: The Bird That Nobody Sees (FRUGALITY - Book 2) (Kindle Edition)
We start with a begrudging pub landlord, Dave, who has a shed out the back of his pub that he always keeps locked. The only thing inside this shed is a broken washing machine with no door. On the day on which the book begins a delivery of 'imitation' alcohol is taking place and Dave, in his haste, forgot to lock the shed again. The opportunistic driver sees his chance when Dave answers the ringing phone and steals the washing machine (I know one man's rubbish is another man's treasure but I think this is taking it a bit far!). The entire story all comes back to this seemingly insignificant event. Would the book have panned out the way it did if the washing machine had never been stolen?

Stuart Ayris can always be relied on to bring you more than a story, he gives you a brilliant story, written well, and also gives you something to chew on. I can never finish one of his books and move on to the next forgetting that I ever read it, I am always left with plenty to think about. This one left me wanting to be an angel so I shall say "Good morning" and be on my way.
