A New Cover.

March 23, 2016 by andygraham Leave a Comment

For those of you here for the free book, the books are no longer free. That was a limited offer. However, you can check them out here:

Amazon UK
Amazon US

Hurry, while stocks last! 😉

Meanwhile . . .

Not satisfied with republishing my first book less than a month after publishing it (cue fanfare), within a month of republishing that book I decided to rebrand it (cue face palm).

The original cover was this:

151103_MasterBookCover-TextIncrease

The idea of using the toy soldiers came from a similar image (which I can’t show you because of copyright reasons). It was more uniform, more rigid, and darker than this green plastic one. I use the word ‘darker’ lightly (no pun intended); the word is thrown around a lot these days. I hope it doesn’t go the way of ‘urban’, ‘gritty’ or ‘holistic’.

The previous image (which I still can’t show you), was great. Unfortunately, there were issues over using it, so I had to let it go (that link’s for my daughter. Give it a listen, though, it’s kind of cool #dadjoke). Once I realised the cover was a non-starter, my designer and I looked for similar images and came up with the green plastic soldier one you can see above.

I like it.

The font reminds me of political propaganda posters; political skullduggery (an oxymoron?) is a theme in the book. I like the expression of the central figure. Most important, though, is the fact that he is a toy soldier (read the book – you’ll see why it works).

However, a few people commented that the image was too WW2 for the genre.

They were right.

It’s a great picture, but it doesn’t really scream dystopian/ sci fi/ political/ suspense at you. It doesn’t fit the genre, and people do, absolutely, judge a book by the cover (especially for unknown authors trying to get noticed – hint hint #pleasereaditandleaveareviewifyouhaven’talreadydoneso).

Corporal Franklin – the struggling, enigmatic green plastic toy soldier had to go.

After several false starts we came up with this cover.

160229_front-02

Much better.

It suits the genre.

It’s a striking image.

When you couple it with the images for the rest of the books, you have a great set of covers (see my FB and twitter headers for the images).

The moral of the story is yet another lesson in the bleeding obvious: you can’t edit your own work, and unless you have a visual eye to go with your literary one, you can’t design your own cover. I was too vested in the original idea to look beyond it, and am grateful for the honest feedback of those who gave it.

Since republishing and (partially) rebranding the book, I have decided to make book one book two and the prequel book one (more of that in another blog post).

So, join me again soon, as I continue my tumble through an avalanche of foreseeable self-publishing errors and continue to republish book one (or is it two) under a variety of pen names and aliases. I’m thinking of renaming  the book ‘storms of summer’ or ‘augers of autumn’ or maybe ‘winds of winter’. It maybe too grim, but unless someone famous has used one of those titles, it could work . . .

Here are those links for the book again

Stripping DRM from my Amazon published ebook

January 2, 2016 by andygraham 1 Comment

This post is about digital rights management (DRM), why I chose to enable it on my Amazon ebook, why I changed my mind, and most importantly, how I removed it. If you are only interested in the last point, click here.

Many of you will already be familiar with DRM. If not, wikipedia’s definition is this:

Screen Shot 2015-12-31 at 19.49.25

It’s a contentious issue, some people are pro, some are against. You can read more about how DRM applies to ebooks here and here.

My understanding of DRM is this:

Pro(s):

  • Your book is safer from piracy

Cons:

  • It’s harder for people to share your work (unlike print books, which are easily shared).
    If a reader moves off kindle to another e-reader, they can’t take a DRM enabled book with them, and would have to buy it again.
  • If someone really wants to hack your book, it’s an easy thing to do (do an internet search to see what I mean).
  • Once you have it enabled on your book, you can’t get rid of it.

The rookie

I published my first novel at the beginning of Dec 2015 on KDP select. Amazon gives you an option of enabling DRM or not, and their drop down info box reads like this.

Screen Shot 2015-12-31 at 19.42.07

As you can see, Amazon gives you a little information on what DRM is, but not a whole lot as to the ramifications of having it. Maybe it’s not really in their interest to go into more details. But, in this day and age, if you are capable of publishing a book on Amazon, you should be able to do a little research into DRM. Amazon also clearly states that once you publish your book, you cannot change its DRM setting.

As a self-confessed luddite, I was quite pleased that I managed to self-publish, but I didn’t do any research into DRM, and enabled it.

Why?

  • FRANKLIN is my first book. I worked on it for months, and spent a lot of money on editing (which I don’t regret at all). It is my proverbial precious snowflake, and I was determined to protect it from the millions of virtual pirates salivating over their keyboards, just waiting to hack an unknown author’s work, and distribute it for free (if only . . .)
  • Coming from a background in music where piracy and streaming has hit a lot of musicians hard, I was all for the idea of protecting my work. (The piracy vs. publicity debate is still very much alive in the music world.)
  • I had been so focused on the creation of the book, I hadn’t really thought through the publishing process as well as I could have.
  • I didn’t check into DRM, and to be honest, despite Amazon’s very clear warning that once you enable DRM it’s permanent, it didn’t really register. (This.)

Publicity is oxygen to any business.

I enabled DRM. A few weeks later, I finally got round to reading David Gaughran’s book Let’s Get Digital. In it he has a chapter devoted to this issue. For me that chapter was worth paying the price of the book alone, and I highly recommend the entire book, especially for new authors. He makes a convincing argument against DRM. e.g. examples of how freely available (and non-DRM) work has improved book sales overall. I won’t attempt to rewrite his chapter here.

I also checked out some other sources on the net that I trust, such as Joanna Penn, who doesn’t have it enabled on her work (see here for confirmation and a guest talk on this issue).

Permanent means not temporary

After realising that I may have made a (rookie) mistake on this matter, I looked to remove the DRM from my book. I couldn’t. The box clearly states permanent.

Surely there was a way?

After trawling through several contradictory threads on forums, I went back to the source: Amazon. I sent them a polite email, asking how I could remove DRM without losing my reviews.

Within hours they had replied.

Amazon’s email.

  • Amazon states that the only way to remove DRM from a book is to unpublish and then republish.
  • You will lose the sales rank of that book.
  • Any reviews you have will be transferred, as long as all of the book details match.

(They then wished me a happy new year blessed with joy and contentment.)

Why did I decided to strip it?

My book had been on Amazon for less than a month. After a mild flurry of sales when it was launched, it was languishing in the charts (to put it kindly). At one point, I almost emailed Amazon because I thought my report page was broken. It’s not. I just wasn’t selling. There are various reasons behind this (that’s a future post), and I don’t think for a minute that just by having DRM enabled, I was killing my sales.

The advantage of the low sales ranking was that I wasn’t really bothered about losing it. (This man expresses it much more eloquently). If I could keep my reviews in the process, then I didn’t have much to lose.

Un- and republishing didn’t take long, but I did have a nail biting wait for the reviews to reappear. During this period I emailed Amazon again to confirm that the reviews would reappear. Within hours, once more, I received a reply saying that the editions had been linked and that it would happen, but may take up to 48 hours.

Within an hour of that email, all the reviews were there.

The whole process, from my first query to Amazon to the new, non-DRM version of my book being published with the old reviews, had taken just under 24 hours. I would like to say that Amazon’s customer/ author support has been exemplary through out this process.

Nothing new under the sun.

This is not something I intend to make a habit of, nor something I would recommend for anyone, especially a more established author with a decent sales ranking. There is also no guarantee that this policy will remain. But, for a rook just cutting his teeth, it was a good solution, and a very good lesson.

What frustrates me most is that the information was out there. I bought my copy of Let’s Get Digital months ago, but only got round to reading it recently. If I had stepped back from my drive to publish to do a simple internet search, I wouldn’t have had this problem.

Maybe I’ve made too big a deal out of having DRM enabled, but once I had decided that I wanted to strip it, then it would have irritated me for ever if I hadn’t. (I’m a veteran of the long meander through the rabbit warren of the 3rd conditional: if I hadn’t enabled DRM, then . . .)

There is nothing new under the sun, every mistake has already been made, every excuse already told. But occasionally, just sometimes, permanent can mean temporary.

It’s done.

November 21, 2015 by andygraham 2 Comments

151103_MasterBookCover-TextIncrease

 

 

After fourteen months of prep, writing, editing, and a fair amount of hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth, it’s done.

Franklin – a brother in search of himself goes live on an Amazon store near you in early Dec 2015.

 

 

What have I learnt in the process?

  1. I enjoyed it. A lot.
  2. I still have things to learn. A lot of them.
  3. Writing a 125K word epic as my first novel was a tad ambitious (see point two)
  4. Those adverbs I was (liberally) peppering my sentences with, (mostly) weren’t needed.
  5. Subtle is good, obtuse is annoying. Those plot twists and sneaky references that are obvious to me, aren’t always clear to the reader. The more I found myself explaining things to my beta readers, the more I realised I had to go back to the drawing board.
  6. I have an annoying habit of picking a word or phrase, and then (liberally) peppering a whole page with it (see point four).
  7. One meaty adjective is worth two vegetarian ones, or a string of vegan ones.
  8. But two paragraphs look better on a page than one. Not as dense.
  9. The search function of scrivener/ word etc is a great tool for editing. I typed in ‘ly’ and played ‘seek and destroy’ with the adverbs (see point four), and subsequently, I had a go at words like ‘then’, ‘started’, ‘turned’ etc.
  10. Dealing with feedback is an art. Some of my beta readers were as subtle as an eye surgeon, others as delicate as an avalanche. All of them were rather good (AmE – ‘totally awesome’/ 1970’s South Wales English – ‘tidy’ or ‘lush’).
  11. I could have changed some of the names to make them easier to say or not quite so ‘smart/ cute’.
  12. My. Punctuation. Sucks. I have a particular problem with commas. I either see an ‘and’ coming a few words away and start haemorrhaging commas across the page, or I spread them across the text the way a farmer sows seeds, and hope that some of them will stick.
  13. The Oxford Comma is a vindictive little sod (see above point), who lies in wait to trip the unwary. And probably mugs little old ladies pushing prams full of orphans.
  14. There’s nothing wrong with ‘clever’ writing, until it gets in the way of the story – the literary equivalent of a beehive haircut in the cinema.
  15. I have a tendency to get up on my electronic soap box and rant (that may come as no surprise to some old friends).
  16. I’m allowed to put more than one sentence into a paragraph.
  17. I should have written the prequel before I wrote Book One – I would have saved myself some timeline headaches, and comments like “did all your female characters have babies while they were in pre-school?”
  18. I couldn’t have done this without the support of a whole host of friends. I wrote the book but there was a team of people around me who gave me the framework to do that. In particular my wife: a one woman ecosystem of encouragement, patience, and love (while she’s asleep).
  19. One swallow doesn’t make a summer, and one book doesn’t make an author. I’m not sure I’ve earned the right to that title. Yet.
  20. I’m a perfectionist and like things to be symmetrical. So, this point is only here to push the list to 21. Part of my rehab.
  21. See point one.

Now where?

Book One is done (barring any horrendous plot holes I may have missed or typos lurking behind the next page). Book Zero (the prequel) is about to be sent to the editor. Book Two is bubbling. Once Ray Franklin and his friends & family are at peace, I’ll stop playing whack-a-mole with the other ideas that keep popping up in my head, and try and coax them out into the light.

Reviews and emails!!!

Until then, on behalf of every (new) author: if you read a book, please leave a review and join their mailing list! The reviews help us get noticed, and the email addresses give us a little bit of professional independence. Don’t worry, most of us hate spam as much as you do.

So, you’ve hurt your back . . .

July 29, 2015 by andygraham Leave a Comment

Kite 2_01

It turns out my osteopathic superpowers have failed to prevent me from another episode of low back pain (1). While frustrating, it is a useful lesson in learning to practise what I preach when it comes to minor injuries. This is a short post which I will elaborate on in more detail over the next few weeks.

You’ve just hurt yourself, what next?

The definitive top 5 kids films. Ever. At the moment.

July 28, 2015 by andygraham Leave a Comment

I was all set to write a piece on my favourite books. As an aspiring author, I thought it was appropriate.

The problem is, I’m having trouble coming up with a list that’s suitably eclectic, aimed at ‘my target audience’, yet casually dotted with heavyweight literary giants and the odd quirky/ dark book to back up the thinly veiled references in my blogs to my ‘other’ side.

So, instead, a change of tact.

One of the pleasures of parenthood (in between the groundhog-day-type existence of grind and repetition that no one warns you about) has been watching things I secretly don’t mind watching while spending time with my kids.

So, here, in a gloriously non-macho post (1), are the definitive top 5 kids films as voted for by me my kids.

Cue drum roll . . .

No. 5 – Ice Age (2002) – Narrowly beat Ice Age 2: The Meltdown to the number five spot.

No. 4 – S čerty nejsou žerty (1984) – a Czech fairy tale roughly translated as ‘with devils there are no jokes’. Here’s a short clip with subtitles. (2)

n97d7558e081b47c060489f4035645

S čerty nejsou žerty (Picture source)

3 – Monsters Inc. (2001) – fantastic ‘foreshadowing’ throughout the story leading up to the ‘redemption’ at the end.

2 – Shrek 2 (2004) – just edges Shrek 1 out of the list, mainly (not entirely) due to the addition of Puss in Boots.

1 – How to tame your dragon (2010) – sailed into the top spot without a hiccup (#punbomb). A masterpiece. And yes, I want a nightfury (much more practical than a lightsaber).

 

latest

How to Train Your Dragon. Picture source.

 

And the runners up . . .

  • Despicable me
  • NOT FROZEN!
  • Toy Story
  • The Jungle Book
  • Vinnetou – poslední výstřel (Vinnetou – The last shot)
  • I’m sure there would have been others had I written this 12 months ago.

As most parents will appreciate, I’ve seen most of the above films frequently; usually in sections, often backwards, sometimes before the sun has limped over the horizon. Rarely in one sitting did we manage to get through the entire film. However, all cynicism and silliness aside, it has been a great way of practising my Czech and spending time with my children, aged 23 and 25. (3).

What have I missed? If there are films that I my kids ‘simply must see’, please drop me a line and let me know.

 

Thanks for reading,

Andy

Just squat, bro’.

July 21, 2015 by andygraham Leave a Comment

This post was originally written for my osteopathy website. If you are interested in running/ squatting or exercise, you may want to read on anyway.

I have read and heard a lot over the last six months or so about running being bad for you (1). It supposedly wears out the joints, destroys your knees, causes muscle catabolism, physical armageddon etc. This is as opposed to squats, hinging patterns (i.e. deadlifts), pulling exercises and being able to resist rotation, which are all ‘primal/ fundamental/ essential’ movement patterns (or whatever the latest buzz word is) (2).

Don’t get me wrong, I am not against squatting, deadlifting etc. Competence in these movements is highly beneficial (3), and would help us all to some degree or another:

Squatting

  • Squatting an appropriate weight can be good for you. (See this)
  • It is a basic ‘pattern’. (same study)
  • It can increase strength, endurance, cardiovascular health and self-esteem.
  • Endorphins!
  • Squats don’t ‘wreck’ healthy knees or backs or whatever else is in vogue. (See this. However, for long term health this study favoured front squats over ‘back squats’, especially with meniscal tears. The authors’ statement that there is less joint compression is shared by strength coaches such as Ben Bruno. In Starting Strength, Mark Rippetoe contests this. His reasoning is decreased hamstring involvement in front squats means there is therefore less of a restraining effect on the ACL. An effect illustrated here in landing from jumps.)
  • It can help with overall mobility and lower body/ back strength. (See this again)
  • It is something we do daily (if you’re sitting down while reading this post, how did you get into this position?).

Now, let’s look at:

Running

  • Running an appropriate distance/ speed can be good for you. (See this)
  • It is a basic ‘pattern.’
  • It can increase strength, endurance, cardiovascular health, bone density and self-esteem. (again)
  • Endorphins!
  • It doesn’t ‘wreck’ healthy knees or backs or whatever else is in vogue. (See the above study again. These older abstracts (here, here, here) on distance runners also don’t find a connection between between running and knee OA. This one in a different population had equivocal results but not negative results.)
  • It requires minimum equipment and training (a sense of direction is desirable, though).

Stop using extreme examples to demonise normal behaviour

Weight, distance, speed etc. are all relative to the individual. Being able to squat the equivalent of a small family car (complete with wet dog in the boot) isn’t always good for you, unless you’ve trained for it. Similarly, running isn’t always the ‘best’ exercise for everyone all the time. It depends on the individual at that moment, their training history, physical status, wants, needs and all the other biopsychosocial factors at play (see an earlier post of mine for a brief intro on this).

We’ve all seen the obligatory train-crash videos on the internet of someone missing a squat and hurting themselves, or running and pulling up short with an injury. Does this, therefore, invalidate all types of squats and running for everyone?

Sometimes, it may be advisable not to run (or squat) for a while or at least balance it with something to complement it. Occasionally, running or squatting may be contraindicated. But generally, most people should be able to do some kind of exercise (4).

Exercise choices are not always ‘either/or’

Not every exercise is suitable for everyone at all times, but not many exercises are inherently ‘bad’. I sometimes wonder why people sit on opposite sides of the fence throwing hyperbole at each other to see what sticks. Are they doing it:

  • in an attempt to make themselves feel good about the group they have chosen to identify with?
  • because it validates their choices and/or limitations?
  • to drum up business?
  • or do they have a genuine physical reason not to run/ squat etc.?

Heard of the nocebo effect?

Such attitudes can do more harm than good. They help fuel the ‘don’t-do-this-or-else’ approach to treatment/ exercise/ life that seems common these days. This holds people back when we should be empowering them.

You’re crazy! You’re saying I should make my granny run a marathon.

It depends, I haven’t met your granny.  But that kind of statement is typical of many discussions these days; hearing what you want to hear and distorting the facts to suit you. It is something best left in the playground but now seems the front line tactic of choice in many quarters, especially those in a position of (perceived) authority and with vested interests.

My son’s granny is almost 70 and planning a tough mudder next year to celebrate, having raced her first at the age of 68. One of my fathers-in-law (it’s complicated) is just past 70 and can’t walk any reasonable distance, but is fine on his bike. Which one of these am I going to encourage to run? Which one will I suggest to maybe just stick to cycling for now? Would I advise either of them to squat? Probably, yes. But only if they wanted to and then well within their physical capabilities (see this on exercise ‘dosing’ and this earlier post of mine on exercise and my unscientific take on ‘slow’ progress).

And then you could look at this 95 year old who only started exercising at around 60 and broke the 200m world record in early 2015. Maybe he is a ‘genetic outlier’ who can tolerate this naturally. Maybe we should not look for excuses for our behaviour, and congratulate him on his.

The choice, execution and grading of any exercise needs to be taken on an individual basis. High diving with a grade 3 spondylolisthesis would probably take a lot of positive thought to deal with. Sprinting shortly after a recent hamstring tear and maximal squats on an acute disc would also not be my first choice of intervention.

So…

Instead of jumping on the latest bash-the-exercise bandwagon and prescribing everyone several sets of ‘brace and tuck, pull back and down and NEVER-FLEX-YOUR-SPINE!’ (5), why don’t we celebrate the fact that someone wants to exercise? Why don’t we work with them to achieve it where possible, even if it is running. Besides, if our ancestors hadn’t been able to run, I suspect many of you wouldn’t be here today reading this post.

“Hey look, a lion/ enemy soldier/ live volcano!”
“Just squat, bro’, that’s all you need.'”

Thanks for reading.

Andy

 

(1) Which type of running do they mean? Jogging? Trail running? Marathons? Sprinting? Middle distance? Treadmill? Hills? Barefoot? Extreme? Or are they lumping all ‘running’ into one heap just as some endurance athletes appear to do with anything involving any kind of dumbbell or barbell?

(2) I feel I should mention how much I love deadlifts at this point just to get my ‘man card’ validated. That seems to be how this kind of post usually runs. I do. I love deadlifts and squats, I’m just not particularly good at them. Yet.

(3) Exactly how we do these is material for another post. Briefly, I think that unloaded movements have a lot more biomechanical give and take than loaded movements.

(4) Even if it’s Crossfit or prancercise. I admit to struggling with one of these, but that’s my issue.

(5) If we should never flex our spines, why do we have joints in the spine? Yes, flexing the spine (or any joint) and loading it beyond what it can tolerate is a problem. However, flexion or any other vectors are not problems (neither is sitting, but let’s not go there today…).

(6) There are various people you can look at for all things squat/ lifting related. Try these for a varied approach: Bret Contreras, Tony Gentilcore, Ben Bruno, Eric Cressey, Mark Rippetoe, Jim Wendler and Mike Robertson (Some are more old-school, others more evidence based, all have something to offer). As regards running, check out Mr Tom Goom aka The Running Physio (Mr Goom, if you’re reading this, apologies for spelling your name wrong in my previous post).
