Spoiler alert!

And what do you think of my dealer's table?

Dear shipmate

Just back from an exciting Eastercon in Birmingham! But more on that later.

You may have noticed a pattern in the ship’s bulletins over the last few months.

Now that I have five complete series and another in progress, I’m able to feature a different series every month.

If the first book or boxset is free, then I remind you about it. If it isn’t I offer a discount.

This month’s feature is Star Legend, the story of Taylan Ellis, a young mother tortured by guilt, Major Wright, the Royal Marine unlucky enough to be her CO, and a legendary figure reappearing from the mists of time.

Check next week’s bulletin for Star Legend books 1 - 3 at a special, reduced price.

What’s the spoiler alert about?

In the shipmates’ exclusive collection, Future Worlds of J.J. Green, there are two follow-on stories from Star Legend, but if you read them before reading the series, you will understand more about the ending of the series than you might like.

SHIP’S LOG

Your captain had a tiring but fun Easter weekend manning (womaning?) a dealer’s table at Eastercon, Birmingham. There were about 1,000 attendees from all over the globe, plenty of interesting panels, workshops and book launches, and an art exhibition.

Sadly, I had to spend most of my time in the dealer’s room, and here I am at my table.

As you can see, I have a lot of books, and most of these are just my first-in-series.

Sales were fine, but I’m wondering if I can do better by having a less cluttered table.

I worry that too much choice is a bit overwhelming and puts potential new shipmates off.

I know I can certainly feel that way sometimes.

Should I select fewer books for my display?

What do you think? How do you react when you see the table?

If you’d like to leave a comment, please scroll to the very bottom of the bulletin for the Comment button. (I discovered recently that a lot of shipmates’ email replies had gone into my Spam box weeks ago.)

The pear tree in the ship’s garden habitat is blossoming. Aren’t the flowers pretty?

I planted the tree three or four years ago. It’s blossomed nearly every year since but failed to produce any fruit. This year we’re hoping for our first pears.
