IS IT JUST ME or do hangovers get worse as you get older?
I had a murderous one from last Saturday, and I swear, it’s only today (Thursday) that I feel 100% again. ‘Spose if you do the crime, you gotta do the time.
My writing efforts took a hit as a result. Back on the horse now though, ramping up for a busy end of year.

Currently writing Book 4 (YAGE) – a sequel to SIGIL. 10% completed. Slow and steady wins the race.- Part 1 of The ROT Collection is published in seven days time! YAY! It’s available for pre-order right now. Looking forward to working on that little side project in the coming months, though novels will continue to take the lion’s share of my time.
- Been playing with Amazon Ads for the last few weeks w/o any success. Eager to crack the elusive code to find a bigger audience. To be continued…
- Scrambling to find a suitable cover for Book 3 (Raising Lazarus) before its expected launch date at end of January. Not as easy as you’d think.
That’s me. How have you been?
Hi Aidan. I was hoping to ask you something. I have recently gone through the registration process on Amazon KDP and did the tax interview thingy. At the end of it, it decided a 5% withholding tax rate was applicable. I queried this with Amazon and they advised that this would be charged on all US-sourced income (even though I’m not a US tax resident) but I might be able to offset it against my local tax office (or claim back from the IRS)…I was wondering if you can recall any similar issues you might’ve had or what your set up is like on Amazon? Anything is helpful…
Thanks in advance! 🙂
I did this almost two years ago. Because I’m an irish resident there was a 0% withholding tax rate. One of the perks of living in Ireland I guess. Haven’t made my millions yet so didn’t really consider questioning logic.
Hmmm…wonder why they’ve whacked on the 5% when I’m in NZ then…one suspects foul play…🙂 thanks for your reply.
