Some Colorful Characters 5

Quite a few colorful characters came to the library at Tom Redcam Avenue. There was this guy, he was quite a rowdy character. I don't remember what examinations he was studying for. At one time they wanted to ban him from the library for his rowdy behavior. Then there was this man who came to the library and would take down all thirteen copies of the encyclopedia. One day a radical youth asked me about the punishment for starting a civil disobedience campaign. One evening they had a function at the library and a man ripped off a woman's necklace, scaled the fence of a nearby college and was gone.

Undercover Soldier has now been downloaded more than 700 times on Free e book net. Readers should try and download this book try other medium to read it. Other exciting works by me are Uptown Lovers, No Tears for Sonya, Mid-Town Lovers, Life at 21 Lane among others.

My Books need Polishing up

Undercover Soldier used to sell on ebook mall but now I don't know what has happened to that site. The fact that it had done so well on free e book net tells me that it has the potential to become a bestseller. I believe the same for Uptown Lovers, Better Days are Coming, Mid Town Lovers and Life at 21 Lane. .

UNDERCOVER SOLDIER-another look

Undercover Soldier has been downloaded so many times and freely at that. If I were to collect on the amount of times this book has been downloaded I would be a rich man. I would love to see a movie made out of it. It was named Operation Wareika a first but my first reviewer  suggested that I used a better title. My late sister in law read the book and suggested that I cut down on the violence wich I did. I think it's okay now, thus the number of readers downloading it. I'm really surprised to see that it hasn't been downloaded on payhip.com as yet.

Nollywood Studios in Jamaica

Probably the Jamaican government should think about asking Nollywood to set up a movie studio in Jamaica. It would be a winning situation for both Nigeria and Jamaica. It is well know that the majority of Jamaicans  originate from Ghana and Nigeria. We look like the people from those countries and we speak like them. So it's over to the Ministry of Culture.

MY Book Sales

So many persons have read my stories in all sorts of media. For example on free e.books.com I have hundreds of readers. It's the same thing on payhip.com. On payhip  I have hits but no sales. I have now widened my publishing medium to include PDF, Word, EPUB, HTML and Plain text. Very shortly I will also include Kindle and any other medium my readers want. I encourage readers to have a go at my books through any of these channels.

My Stories on Payhip

Readers can now download my stories through PDF, E-Pub, Plain text, Word and html. They can pay what they want. Very soon Kindle will also be available for those having a kindle reader. For example one of my stories, Bring Back the Good Old Days, had over a thousand hits but no sales. It  is the same thing with other stories, dozens of  hits but no sales. I'm thinking that it might be the medium through which to download the stories.

Stories on PAYHIP

I have now decided to transfer all my stories om payhip to PDF. Readers are also told that they can pay whatever they want for these stories. It's really a contribution they'll be making.

2019 Cricket World Cup

The 2019 Cricket World cup is on in Britain. So far the West Indies are performing pretty poorly and are not expected to reach the last four. Several persons are saying that the current format is too long with each of the ten teams having to play each other once in the first round. In total 48 matches will be played, 45 in the first round, 2 semi final and 1 in the final. I think if they increased the participating teams to 12 and divide then into 2 groups of 6 each. This would make a total of 30 matches in the first round. We could have a second round of 4 from each group. It would be 4 matches in the second round, 2 in the semi final and 1 in the final, making 37 matches in all. Teams would have the potential to play eight matches at the most.
