Author and photographer David G. Rose established RoseTintedSpecs Imprint in 2002 publishing his first volume of poetry. Initially an independent author, he now also publishes work by two other writers.

e-Book sales in February, particularly of the Kindle versions, increased hugely over January as Amazon expands its business. Downloads at 18 February of the two titles below, Triad and Neil's War: One boy' story of his evacuation of his evacuation to Ireland at the outbreak of WWII stand at 1,884 units since launch at the end of December. Nine units were sold via Amazon.de. Ich möchte neue Kunden in Deutschland danken, im Februar!

Part of the success is due to our FREE E-BOOK Kindle Valentines Promotion on 14 and 15 February. Don't worry if you missed it, there will be another soon!

Forthcoming

With the current popularity of the BBC series Midwives set in the East End of London in the 1950s we are very pleased to be publishing Rose MacFarlane's Naked Nurse: My life in nursing (ISBN 978-0-9571686-0-2 .mobi/Kindle)  in e-book on 1 April. This is a heartfelt, thoughtful book in which the author charts her life from the late 1940s in a large, boisterous family in Derbyshire and Cornwall. She trained in nursing at the prestigious Sheffield Royal, in midwifery to Part One in London's East End and in family planning in London. She was a UNA Volunteer for a year in a Jordan hospital during the Six-Day War. She was acting matron at the age of 22. The book ends in Kent in the early 1980s when Rose was about to establish a national charity for pain management. 

"In my day nurse training was tyranical and of a very high standard compared with today," Rose says. "It wasn't necessarily better for nurses or patients." Read the book - you will laugh sometimes and want to cry at others. The book is full of anecdote and information. 

There will be a special launch promotion on Naked Nurse: My life in nursing!
