Bubblyjock Publications and its Four Parents

Ten years ago four people met at a writers group on the West coast of Scotland.
   They were already darn good writers.
   In fact one was so good that she already had hundreds of books, articles, short stories and plays published. That's Evelyn. Her massive fan base know and love her as Evelyn Hood.
   The other three were all poets, short story and article writers and aspiring novelists. They featured in independent publications. They were Bill the Dug, Bill the Dave and Anna.
   Then, over the years they got fed up of rejections from publishers and magazines or being asked to change their name (why?!)
   They kept winning competitions, being short listed, winning prizes, receiving accolades from their peers.
   They kept on writing; historical novels, romantic novels, sagas, flash fiction, poetry, features ... Because they loved writing.
   Then along came Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), the online Ebook publishing route that cut out the middle man. They decided to test the water with the only true arbiters of their writing; the reading public.
   That's when Bubblyjock Publications was born. Their first book has just appeared. It's called Take Ten. It's an anthology of short stories and flash fiction. In this busy world, each story takes no more than ten minutes to read.
   There are more books in the pipeline. This blog will follow their progress; already they have had frustrations, challenges, successes and learned more than they could ever have imagined when they started. You are invited to come along for the ride and to check out Take Ten on Amazon.
