    About this ebook

    Do aspire to become a successful writer and sell a lot of books?
    The competition is becoming fiercer, and nowadays editors and agents must suspect there are more writers around than readers... so what can you hopeful, eager, first time authors do about it?
    This modest little book will inspire you to get things going... and to succeed, whatever your age..!

    One reader said: "Absolutely inspiring! It proves that there's no age limit -- either lower or upper -- if one truly loves
    writing and works hard at their craft."

    This eBook is in two parts. The first is an account of the author's 'plan' to succeed and how far it has got him.

    The second part is a study of another optimistic writer's plan to succeed, all about how he put it into action, and how it finally
    brought him success.

    Tony Thorne MBE

    I am an Englishman, born and technically educated in London, England, and now living in Austria; but in the winter, in the warmer Canary Island of Tenerife. I originally qualified as a Chartered Design Engineer, specializing in Applied Physics products. For developments in the field of low temperature (cryo)surgery instruments, and very high temperature (carbon fibre) processing furnaces, the Queen awarded me an MBE. Earlier in life I also wrote and sold science-fiction and humorous stories, was an active SF Fan, and a spare time lecturer for the British Interplanetary Society. Now retired I write quirky speculative fiction; mostly tall Science Fiction and Macabre tales, with over 100 short stories published in various collections, including MACABRE TALES, THE BEST OF THE TENERIFE TALL TALES, THE JUNIOR PHILOSOPHY SOCIETY, BEST SELLING AUTHOR PLAN etc.. The first 4 volumes in my near future, 5 stars SF espionage series for general readers, POINTS OF VIEW, are now available from Amazon, Smashwords etc. My best selling title, THE SINGULARITY IS COMING, is published in English and Chinese versions.
