  August 2023 was my best month yet for book sales. I totalled 24 books ordered and 2,001 KENP pages read. I don't suppose I'll be able to give up the day job just yet, and Bernard Cornwell hasn't got anything to worry about, either, but it's a great showing, and hopefully September will be even better. Thank you to everyone who took a chance and bought one of my books or used the KENP facility, I really appreciate it.
