The Good Guy's Guide to Getting Girls

I’ve had a personal website for, well, years. Not an awful lot ever happened on it. Occasionally (and by occasionally I mean ‘every couple of years’) I’d get around to adding a short piece of fiction, an essay, or a poem, or something. But other than that it remained pretty static.

Then last year I turned it into a blog. Some of you may be wondering what the difference is. In my case absolutely nothing. The blog was just as inactive as the original site, just prettier. But again this wasn’t really a problem because (aside from spammers: “Thanks for a fantastic post – would you like an organ enhancement?” “Hey! That’s really interesting? Do you need to know how to lose weight?”) to the best of my knowledge only three people in the known Universe have ever visited it. And I’m including Google and the CIA amongst those three. And even Google gave up waiting for something new.

But all that’s about to change! I’m an author now and as such I have responsibilities! Name me one (successful) author that doesn’t have a blog?! (You can do so in the comments box below – hey, see what I did there? Clever eh?)

So, over the weekend justicing.com was swept away and morphed into Peter Jones Author.com. Most of the original ‘justicing’ content is of course still there (the stuff that didn’t make me want to gnaw my own arm off), but you’ll also find posts that I’ve done for other sites such as Behold the Balloon Jesus – which I did for my friend Jules and her balloon modelling company, and Less of Your Lip which I did for a makeup site. There are also a couple of posts which might interest you if you’re a fellow writer. And there’ll be more in the coming months – I promise promise promise promise!

So if you’ve got a spare five minutes, pop over and say Hi – it would be great to see you.

On the 5th of December 2010, Writing Show host Paula B reviewed the first chapter of The Good Guys Guide to Getting Girls, as part of her ongoing ‘slush pile workshop’ series.

You can listen to the show and hear what Paula has to say, or read the first chapter and make up your own mind, here. (Paula talks about The Good Guy’s Guide from the 14 minute mark)

Every now and then a self-help book comes along that questions the very nature of happiness, shakes the very foundation of all the things you hold dear, and forces you to reconsider every assumption you’ve ever made.

This isn’t one of those books.

‘So, You Want To Be Happy’ is a book for ordinary people. With ordinary lives. It’s for people who have been ambling along and wondering why they’re not – well – just that little bit happier. It’s a book for most people. It’s a book for you.

Mumbo jumbo & jargon free, ‘How To Do Everything And Be Happy’ is direct, practical, occasionally witty, and stuffed full of ways to make your life just that bit happier. If you’ve got a brain in your head, if you can pick up a pen, if you’ve got half an inkling about what makes you smile, So You Want To Be Happy will show you how to multiply those moments.

‘How To Do Everything And Be Happy’  - a Self-Help book by the same author of The Good Guys Guide To Getting Girls is available as both an ebook and a paperback from amazon.co.uk and amazon.com.
