Stredwick

My books are on Good Reads and many other platforms. People aren't reading my books and rating them.I only have two novels out but several short stories. I also have two plays out and several poems. So I encourage readers to look up my books whether free or otherwise and give me a read. All my short stories and plays are very humorous. You won't be bored reading one of my stories. All my stories are on payhip.com. They are also on Amazon.com and create.space. I also have works on lulu.com and ebook.mall.People can just type my name,austin g. mitchell in their search engine to search for my books.

My ancestral family are the Phipps of Stredwick Hill, Glengoffe, St Catherine. They are a large family with branches in England, United States and Cuba. However, there is one mystery that still needs clearing up all these years. My grandmother told me that one of her brothers, Tiny, disappeared from home and has never returned to this day.One other brother, Percy, was found in St. Thomas and Pappa returned from England in the seventies. Most of the brother and sisters died between the seventies and eighties but no word has been heard of Tiny or any offspring of his. It is quite possible that he went to a part of Jamaica, probably settled down with a woman and had children and probably those children couldn't be bothered looking up their father's relatives.

People go about who is the best. For example they want to know who is the best footballer who has ever lived. Or they might want to know who is the greatest boxer who has ever lived. Because people might have competed in different eras I think it's difficult to compare them.Even right now footballers, cricketers, basketbalers are competing in different leagues and against different opponents.

I will soon have a new book out.It's called 'I'm back from the hills now'. I will be writing several collection of short stories, plays and poems. I'm getting frustrated by the lack of publishing opportunities in my home country. I have books on Amazon, Create Space, lulu.com, psyhip, ebookmall and many more publishers.

So the West Indies having lost the Test series have also lost the one day series. It seems that the team is not performing and some of the better players are not making themselves available. But I feel that the bowling is weak.They really need some good fast bowlers. But the team cannot continue performing at this low standards. Both sponsors and fans must be getting fed up with these performances or lack of it.

I have calculated that to make a living from writing I would have to turn out a piece of fiction every week. I don't know how feasible that would be since I work full time. I would really like to be a full time write but I'm not getting any support from readers. I used to get published in both newspapers but though I've sent my work to one outlet, it is being ignored.

Yes, I now have ten books on payhip.com. Readers can view my books on that site. I am trying to get some book covers done. To make an income from writing books, I will have to write hundreds of stories.
