I have been a writer for most of my seventy years and enjoy what I do but get disheartened by the lack of interest from the big boys if get my drift?. I have had three books of crime and another of historical fiction published in Canada and all have been remaindered thus far .Plus more recently a thriller in America and another book of crime,but more especially in the u/k I find their is a stigma that unables new authors to gain any kind of recognition,and all we see in the shops are celebs and thier autobiographys or well known names who just pop up now and then and suddenly they are on the shelves.Not too dissheartened but feel unknowns should be at least given a chance otherwise the book trade will never see any new authors at all?.Many Thanks Robert James Bridge Author age seventy. u/k Just watched the BookRabbit T.v intro and enjoyed it.Lets hope its a success since many readers and writers are left by the wayside simply because they either not celebs or well known in the industry.
