As a new author, I spend lots of energy letting people know about my stories, and it is SO lovely when someone else enjoys them enough to spread the word.
I was delighted with this poster for a signing event at my old patch in Argyll.
Thanks for having me, Dalmally Store!
@ljlittleson@fairytaledegree It's not the writing of the book. It's the effortless marketing and the agents scurrying to represent them. If all celebrities wrote under a pseudonym, would these books still be picked up?

@ljlittleson The cynic in me says 'oh no, not another celebrity children's author jumping the queue' but have always liked her film work, so will reserve judgement.
@ArdenElizaJones Have always loved that metre - like #Tennyson! 'The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold/and his cohorts shone brightly with purple and gold/And the sheen on his spears was like stars on the sea/as the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.' Bit less violent though ๐
โManderley Press books are long-neglected gems that have been given a brilliant polish by a publisher who has as keen an eye and as deep a desire for perfection as the finest jeweler.โ
- Thank you dear reader, customer, reviewer - publisher swoons.
