My writer's C.V. includes sales of over a hundred short stories to magazines, zines, sound-zines and literary journals around the world. In the U.K. my popular fiction has sold to 'The People's Friend', 'My Weekly', 'Woman's Weekly,' and the literary stories also sold in Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Europe, to 'The Atlantic Review', 'Solander', 'Stand', 'QWF', 'Peninsular', 'Bound Off', 'Sniplits', too many journals to name here and quite a few podcasts. My series of Mediaeval Japanese short stories is now an e-book. The box set of the three Victorian novels is selling nicely. PR work never ceases as I get the novels and the short stories under readers' noses. I'm still making book trailers, doing giveaways and marvellous group promos via a newsletter and email list. I read and review chiefly at Goodreads.com, Bookbub and Librarything.com and on my blog.
My novels, anthologies and single short stories are available in bookshops and online and my novels and short stories are available at my bookshop: https/www.books.pdrlindsay.co.nz Amazon, Kobo and D2D/Smashwords in e-book form. My fourth trailer is now up HERE. You can find one on Tizzie and one on Bittersweet another one about Writer's Choice. Wild Colonial Girl is the best so far. I'm getting better.

Thank you Mr Sharma for another interview spot.
As a member of Writer's Choice publishing cooperative I enjoy the support of my writer colleagues in making my novels and stories quality fiction. We work together improving and editing our books. We help each other write better books. In our first year we each launched an historical novel, and the three books did very well as best seller, and prize winners. In our second year as the Writer's Choice Writers' Co-operative again we had competition and sales successes. Our third year was a repetition of the success of the previous years. We have had another winner in our fourth year with 'Four Nails' and 'Bittersweet' was long listed in its competitions. Our fifth year saw many 'life getting in the way' obstructions to writing and publication and in our sixth year we published short stories, the Writer's Choice Shorts, which had been previously published and an anthology of historical Japanese short stories. This year G.J.'s lovely memoir, using his famous actress mother's diaries about her life in Nazi Germany, To Steal a Moment's Time, was published and that Japanese historical/touch of fantasy YA novella of mine, Salt Run: the Heir's Last hope' is finally out in digital form. Print copies coming when Ingram sends them. Anglican church troubles grow, it seems our whole Anglican church has lost its way and is falling apart and our leaders are part of the problem. To exercise my despair I have taken to creative non-fiction and writing horror stories using what our vicar and her clique do and have done. The new novel finally has an opening and a reason which readers will accept. Now it needs to shape in my head and then I can start writing seriously. Short stories coming along for three collections: Gentle Tales From Old Japan's, 'Holy Hell', and 'Never Trust a Salmon'. The Historical Fantasy stories about my time travelling librarian have suddenly become a YA history collection. Essays on strife in the Anglican church are going to ebook form along with the horror stories based round our clergy's misbehaviours. Writing can have payback moments. With my colleagues' help I hope to continue putting out quality short stories and novels deserving of our quality fiction mark. Indies forever.
