The first batch of paperbacks have arrived at last and are on sale in the Store for £9.70, which includes first class postage within the UK. I came across a wonderful shop today which turned out to be owned by an international company who promote the work of illustrators and authors of children's books and do free events for kids at the weekends. So I popped in to show them a copy I had with me and they liked it very much and advised me to contact their art coordinator to see if she would be interested. They act as literary agents too, so we might try to pitch a few ideas to them as well. Meanwhile I shall be wearing out a bit of shoe leather in Fulham and Chelsea, where there are several independent bookshops and lots of trendy little gift shops and child-friendly cafes, where I might buy a coffee and leave a book by mistake! |

9/4/2016 0 Comments First Product in Store![]() I ordered a few postcards to see what they looked like and they turned up sooner than I though they would and a bit larger than I expected, but I think they look great. So I decided to open the storefront a bit earlier than intended in case anyone would like to order one or two (buy four and I'll throw in another one for free). 20% of the purchase price will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund to adopt a polar bear or two so we can give them away as prizes in the competition I mentioned a couple of blogposts ago. 8/4/2016 0 Comments Social NetworkingI've never taken this kind of photo before and was wondering what to use when I remembered an old silver jam spoon that hadn't been used for years. It needed a quick polish to remove all the tarnish, but I was quite pleased with the result and a few people liked it on Twitter and Instagram and started following me. Now all I've got to do is think of something to post tomorrow!
7/4/2016 0 Comments Competition![]() I've been doing some postcards using images from the book to sell in the shop when it opens (stay tuned), and thought this would make a good one, but it could use a few words and I can't think of any, so I decided to have a competition in case anyone had any ideas. To enter, add a comment that includes your suggestion before the 30th April. Prizes will include copies of the The Butterfly Effect and a small royalty, too, on any entries that are published as postcards if and when they sell. |
