I have just returned from Australia. This week I travelled on a train in NSW for two hours. It cost £3.50 and no booking necessary, just tap on, tap off. Similar prices in WA. Our fares are ridiculously complex and expensive.

Having just done a 22 hour flight in cabin class, it's comfort which is the only criteria.

Just done the overland from Adelaide to Melbourne. Miles and miles of the same landscape.

By the end of Isabella's Curse, I hope women will understand they have to take charge of their own destiny.

I imagine a pile of stones for throwing or maybe a few bows and arrows but if it starts to rain, game over.

I am not sure if I will ever get my money. It's so frustrating. I have three books left on it but will be taking one of them off to go back on kdp.

I have used them for years as a book ordering service. Bookshops won't stock my books because I won't allow returns. The quality of the paperback is better than Amazon's but the covers can be tricky as they are a slightly different size.

Have you tried Ingram Spark? You do need to buy an ISBN for them.

I have tried my books on D2D and had few sales. They won't pay you until you have 10 dollars worth of royalties. I have just gone over and now they say I need 20 dollars worth. Am fuming. At least Amazon pay however little you've earned.

I completely agree. Until this country starts prosecuting these entitled liars, there is no hope for it.

Is there a MHA home in the area? They were very fair with my mother and you don't have to be Methodist. They asked for 5 years of equity, including flat sale. When that ran out they subsided her. I am going back a decade.
