I woke up this morning and realised that I had only a few days to get my newly published titles registered for this year’s PLR. That’s the Public lending right that pays me a tiny amount of money for every book that gets borrowed from libraries. Luckily my books get borrowed a lot, so it soon adds up to a very welcome sum of money that I immediately hand over to the tax man as I get paid about the same day as I have to pay tax. I remember my Dad always used to complain about his pay rises in the army. The day his pay went up, so did the rents and mess bills!

Any way I collected up the titles to be registered and what a shock – 49 new titles this year! Most of these are reissues of old titles and titles doubled up as hardback and paperback, but it’s still a lot.
