eBooks can give your books a new lease of life. I've proved it!

Having put the bulk of my backlist on line over the last few months, largely as an experiment, I'm not a little thrilled at the response I've had.

Amongst other things I currently have the number one free and number one paid football downloaded books an amazon.uk, the number one paid soccer download on amazon.com and 6 of the top 21 on the soccer book download charts on iTunes were written by yours truly! Not bad for books which had pretty much been consigned to the bin 6 months ago.

So if you have a book gathering dust and retain the electronic rights, get it online. You never know......

    Well done Dougie.
    Backlists are very valuable to a writer, it's a second chance to earn money...

    It has indeed breathed life back into my work (and my bank balance) but more importantly, it has reignited my career!

    I think my enthusiasm had been filed away somewhere but now it's back with a vengeance!
