Thankyou Sprostoni, been working on it for so long it feels great to actually finish it!

Well done, now I suppose I'm going to have to beg borrow or steal a Kindle 

Congratulations, Jill!!! Well done!!!!

Likewise - congratulations, but now I definitely need a Kindle.

Thanks Jill.  I look forward to reading it on the drive to Italy (OH will be driving!)

I've already read the first 4 chapters - well done!

Thanks all, I'll let you know if I sell enough copies to put a roof on my house.

Have just bought it for my new Kindle - will give you feedback once I've read it.  Looks good.

Thanks Janj.

Jill I wish you every sucess with your book, I know how you feel about Italy ....  'if you can't laugh you will cry'.

Well done, Jill. I hope it goes well. For me, living in Italy is still a dream. Maybe one day! And my own kindle book is a novel, inspired by that dream!

Alison, how is your book doing? Can you post link so I can have a look. Thanks

Thanks Molinello.

Just read another good book set in Bologna, if you like a bit of romance try this ...http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ask-Me-Im-Happy-ebook/dp/B0051BDTXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1339334888&sr=1-1   The author has stated that a donation for all books sold will be going to the earhquake fund.

Well done, I have just bought this for my kindle looking forward to starting it.  Wishing you every success with it.

It's been pouring with rain here in Wales so sat and read your book yesterday afternoon!!  A good read, well done, I enjoyed it.  All the best

Thanks Janj, Any chance you could leave a review on Amazon, it helps to get the book noticed.

Ya Stribs, they should all be available here's mine - If you read please could you leave a review on Amazon thnx http://www.amazon.it/diary-single-parent-abroad-ebook/dp/B00871I0XS/ref=...

A few years ago I submitted a subject matter - thats technology based and isnt relevant now so much. It was the highest hit thread on the forum at that time - some 25 pages long. A thread that Anastasia was to take the mickey out of and say that it was going nowhere. At the time I was also losing my job, and going through a court case. (Which I won - but was going through it at the time). A job that I had been in for - for 8 years. They wanted to sack me for being mental.  This forum dissed me - and I also came out to this forum to some past history's of my life that haunt me - they werent so kind here - I tried to get back on the forum at a later date - but they ignored me. I dont know why I have been allowed back now. Years later - and now under going counselling for Aspergers which my Doctor wants to take through the NHS - but there is no diagnostic pathway for adults in my county. Aspergers was not recognised in the UK until 1994. Most GPs have no clue about it. My Dr has known me since 1992 and seen me through 2 court cases. Both employment related. He always asks me about my place in Italy. I have a job now - and it is bloody brilliant - ok - so I dont earn an amazing amount and I work bloody hard, but I have had a pay rise in the 2nd year, and are we not in a recession? And they accept my mental condition - I was upfront about it. We have a lot of geeks at our company!!! We are still taking people on now - our business is booming -recession - what recession? Recession I think is caused by humans that earn too much money in the financial sector. They get the jitters and the whole market shakes. As much as we think people are brilliant - people are just people - whether at the top of their job in the financial markets or running a forum - the general public are not expected to know and understand everyone. And lets not forget - an Italian forum isnt limited to English people - people from Africa, Slovenia, China and New Zealand can read it too, sometimes - we think we are in a safe bubble, but we are open to all. Bottom line. Life is good. (LG - China!!!!). I have had 3 Chinese girls living with me - from China (not English Chinese - and I have to say the experience on the whole was very good. I have a lot of respect for the Chinese.

Excited like a child its currently at no 1 on amazon best seller list for Italian travel books with 8 5-star reviews.. Yippee!  http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/books/279720/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_b_1_5...

Anyone who would like the paperback it is now available and can be delivered to Italy from this web-site - http://www.feedaread.com/

Hi, I have gone to the website but there is no shipping to Italy, and to pay to have it sent to Australia and then sent here becomes somewhat expensive. Can we purchase directly from you?  We would love to support you.

The web site does say it doesn't ship to Italy for some reason, but many of my friends over here have ordered it and I have myself recieved a copy delivered over here. So maybe just put your address in and see what happens.

"It was the highest hit thread on the forum at that time - some 25 pages long". No it wasn't - the "Palio" thread was - and still is. "A thread that Anastasia was to take the mickey out of and say that it was going nowhere." Untrue. "This forum dissed me - and I also came out to this forum to some past history's of my life that haunt me - they werent so kind here - I tried to get back on the forum at a later date - but they ignored me" Also very untrue.  No-one "dissed" you and no one was unkind to you Glen.  You got banned for posting shyte.  People ignored you - just as they have done here in this thread - because they don't know how to handle you.

I did not respond to this old GPRS & EDGE thread of yours until post 85 - where I tranlated the Italian article into English for you.  No deletions of posts from me in that thread. Oh, and by the way, I was "Aliena" at that time - "Anastasia" wasn't born until 06/06/06! 

I'm really pleased your book is now available in paperback Jill and have just ordered a copy ready to take to Italy to read. I'm also taking "Thin Paths" by Julia Blackburn now it is available in paperback. It has excellent reviews. Has anyone read it?

Thanks Alma, let me know what you think. I will have a look at Thin Paths, anything about Italy has my attention. Just read the 3 Annie Hawes books again and they are even better 2nd time round.

  Just finished it. Excellent. really really enjoyed it. Well done. I take my hat of to you. It sounds from the outside that you have done an excellent job with the children.

Thanks Pat, Any chance you could leave a review on Amazon to hep my sales? The ex has just discovered the book and claims he is not the person I have written about, but has stopped the maintenance payment and is refusing to pay the mortgage unless I unpublish it, thus proving he is the man I have written about. Ah well never been poorer but never been happier. 

Yes of course. I have bought a hard copy as well. I was disgusted by the whole thing especially how he took the £10000 (probably to stop you getting a lawyer). Hope you are writing a sequel

Hard copy just arrived and...opened it and erm finished it in one go.What a fantastic read,absolutely brilliant.Won't ask you when the sequel is 'cos everyone is already asking that on Amazon!! Loved the positive feedback on a certain site, apart from the grammar nazi.."Me and her should be She and I..we were sat should be we were sitting or we were seated..Alright should be all right" etc etc etc..I'm sure she was just trying to be helpful !!! Can I put feedback on Amazon saying that I have just read the hard copy? Well done again,loved it.Oh,and yes,been to the Butchers Arms many times,my ex next door neighbour from Cliff Rd has bought a house a few doors up from there...so that's handy!

Thanks all for the support, I am going to write another, just collecting material, never dull living in rural Italia! If you want to see photos I have a blog/FB page (don't forget to press like)    -   http://www.facebook.com/TheDiaryOfASingleParentAbroad Any feedback/likes on Amazon are appreciated and will help sales. I have editing issues (due to being too poor to pay for it) but have just had a friend/author on FB offer to do it for free. And after a magazine over here published an article about the book recently.which led to meeting someone who is a professional translater also offering a freebie so may be able to sell it in Italy. Might get that roof yet?   And it all started on the Italymag forum.

I wanted to support your book so downloaded the Kindle version and read it whilst sunbathing in my holiday home garden in Italy.  Well done.  I wasn't ready for the book to end when it did, so I hope it is not too long before you are in a position to write a sequel. We'll all wait and see!

Well done on getting published, that is great and imspiring too - I must get writing again!

"Inspiring" even!  I really shouldn't try to type in the dark...

I have gone on Amazon in the US to try and order the paperback book but only the Kindle edition comes up.  Does anyone have a link I could use?

Ciao Lisa, The paperback won't be available on Amazon for a few weeks but you can order it direct (and cheaper) from this site. Thanks for your support. http://www.feedaread.com/books/The-diary-of-a-single-parent-abroad-97817...

Really enjoyed your book and, like everyone else, do need to know what happens next! Just one thing I felt your opinion might differ on in years to come - all those poor feeble old people in their 60's. One day you'll discover that 60 is definitely the new 28!!
