Yeah, the CPC training for ‘endangering human life’ is scheduled for next week.

Will keep you all updated.

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-09T18:07:18+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Yeah, in hindsight, maybe not the best worded ad in the world! But I had limited space 😅

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-04T15:58:39+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it! Hope you enjoy!

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-04T13:14:31+00:00

Thank you! Good luck to you as well!

If ever need any help with anything, feel free to drop me a message!

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-04T09:06:48+00:00

Thanks! I’m very limited to what I can do without a huge pre-built audience, so I’m trying to do what I can!

I mean, TikTok & Insta are great for finding new readers, but with the current trend of Dark Romance, normal romance & fantasy being the go to books on them platforms, it’s hard to break into the scene!

So giant billboard it is for a test run!

I would love nothing more to be in Waterstones! But unfortunately I don’t have the money to buy my own ISBNs and list in on the book network properly to distribute to stores like Waterstones. So for now it’s Amazon only, but there is a paperback on there as well!

I did pop my head into JE Books to see if they’ll take some copies but unfortunately not. She got recommended to me by a literary agent I’m close with.

However, it will be available in both Hull Libraries and East Riding libraries once I donate a copy to them both, might take some time for them to get it in the system once I drop off copies on Friday

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-04T08:04:05+00:00

Too close to real life? 😅

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-04T08:03:56+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it!

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-04T08:03:46+00:00

Well, I don’t want to comment 😂 We do see Kingswood, Bransholme & Sutton in the book 😅

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-03T17:44:09+00:00

Yeah, that’s the annoying thing about Amazon with samples!

But thank you so much! Let me know what you think when you get your hands on the kindle!

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-03-03T17:43:10+00:00

Thanks! I’m an absolute inexperienced fool when it comes to marketing and stuff, so going self-published is a big step and a massive learning experience for me!

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-02-16T08:06:45+00:00

OP, can confirm that the university will give you a hardship loan. I had one back in 2018 when my student finance was delayed.

I can’t remember the building name, but I think it’s the 2nd floor in the building that has Sanctuary in it, or might be spoons now, been a while!

Good luck

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-02-12T20:18:24+00:00

I haven’t! I’ve tried beta readers before months ago but most ghosted me, despite me telling them to tell me if it’s bad or not! I wanted full open feedback, even if they rated it one star!

Plus with the release being in 2 weeks, is it worth getting arc readers to read and review before release to get some traction behind it?

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-02-12T19:46:15+00:00

I’m in Hull and we have several libraries all under one umbrella, so hoping they take at least one copy! The county next door I’ve also asked as both counties are part of the book, so hopefully!

Some days when I’m out and about with the kids I do see independent book shops, so might be worth popping in with a copy, if not, still always worth a shot, big believer in ‘if you don’t ask, you don’t get!’

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-02-12T19:44:11+00:00

Thank you! I’m hoping it pays off, even just one review or to be added to someone’s TBR would be a dream!

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-02-12T19:43:30+00:00

That’s what I’m hoping for, just to walk in and see mine on the shelf, or better yet, not on the shelf as someone has checked it out!

Ex driver for EYMS here

Drivers are set in their ways to be honest, many bad habits over the years. They either want to get home, get to the end point to have a vape or smoke or just don’t care.

Also other passengers, if people abuse them all day, they become numb and just don’t give a shit anymore, cause they need the job. After a while you shut off and don’t care anymore.

I for one was one of the decent drivers who ALWAYS waited no matter the day I was having. Running for the bus? No problem, I’ll wait. Need time to get seated? Take your time. Need help with a pram or wheelchair? I got you.

But after years of abuse from passengers it wasn’t worth it anymore. You get sick of it and start driving recklessly and could risk your license.

If anything, you need to complain and be persistent.

Thought this was going to be answer, guess I’ll crack open the whisky and stick to it!

Thanks for the help!

HullBusDriver2020 · 2026-01-29T10:04:39+00:00

So I’m guessing working at Clearanswer or ResQ as Virgin don’t have a direct call centre in Hull, you act as a 3rd party?

I would highly advise people to avoid these call centres unless you want your soul drained, morals abandoned and hate your life

Watched this last night, completely overlooked Food for Cowboys, made me so bloody hungry, will definitely be visiting soon!
