Aunt Epp's Guide for Life is 99p at the moment. Discovered after her death, it's an excellent conpendium of advice from a wonderful scottish lady. Great fun and very good value.

Karen Dolby's Orangea and Lemons is also 99p and is a nice llttle book about nursery rhymes and their origins. It reminded me of the CS scene where the girls are very ignorant about the subject<g> Includes smoe charmng illustrations and also very good value.

Am I allowed to plug my first Kindle offering?

Have just relaunched my first ever published novel, Scuba Dancing, as an ebook. It's a romantic comedy rather than the cosy mysteries I now write. Read all about it on my blog which you can find by checking out the signature under my post!

Ooh look, there's someone called Finn in it ......

Sorry to spree but today's Daily Deal looks like a nice one for dragon-lovers.....Tooth and Claw - with an impressive list of supportive reviews from other writers....

Sealpuppy - I spent 3pence over my self-imposed Kindle limit to take your book and am very pleased I did so. There are a couple of astonishingly funny scenes in it which made me laugh out loud. A rare event when I'm reading

How nice of you, Cestina, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I meant to set the price at £1.99 which seemed sensible but had to set it in dollars and the exchange rate seems to have twiddled about with it.

I can recommend Tooth and Claw. It's hilarious. It's like the Regency world on steroids, and all the characters are dragons.

I'll add that to my holiday list! I can recommend Lydia Bennet's Blog by Valerie Laws, great fun and quite plausible. I'll certainly never look at Charlotte Lucas in the same light! :wink:

I've just invested in Tooth and Claw - sounds good! I'm quite a fan of Katie MacAlister's dragon books but I suspect this won't be quite the same.

I read Scuba Dancing when I first met you on the board, sealpuppy, and enjoyed it. It was the only book of yours our library had at the time although I got them to buy at least one more!

I'll never look at 'knitting one for myself' in the same light either, having just read Scuba Dancing! :shock:

Just giggled at that and then had to explain to SLOC. He has read the book (the only one of mine so far) but didn't remember the context.

It is a great read. I'm just waiting for the day it's made into a film ... :wink:

Thank you, Miss Di. I get my readers one by one! And very grateful I am too.

I just bought and read Scuba Dancing in one evening and loved it! Nice, light relief and your characters were so well-drawn. Now to struggle through a day of revision on little sleep after staying up late to finish it...

I've bought it too - plan to read it at the weekend while my husband runs around the cliffs in Exmoor.
Be interested to know how many sales you get through the CBB

I've bought it too.

Tell me, Sealpuppy, is the other Nicola Slade Kindle book by you as well - about making music in your bedroom? Must say I thought it was about something else entirely until I clicked the link :wink:

I know, you're not the first! She is, or was, a music journalist but I've often had a giggle at the idea of her musically minded fans discovering they're reading a book that contains what a sniffy critic once called 'geriatric erotica'! ('tisn't, btw).

Thank you so much, lovely CBBers for saying such nice things about Scuba.

Miss Di · **Posted:** 09 Apr 2013, 23:19

It was lovely, a really sweet read and laugh out loud funny in spots (although I didn't fall off my chair in true Chalet fashion). I can't understand why one critic said it was unrealistic
