New sheep - wool crisis averted

The emergency wool trip turned up a new wool  - and here is the resulting sheep, slightly different, but different is good in handcrafted...  
So here is the first of the new flock:
So now all I have to do is turn the rest of this ball of wool into a flock of sheep in time for Saturday when I'm booked in at the Guildhall in York's city centre for a Christmas craft and gift fair.

The secret to marketing a book...



The secret to marketing books seems to be finding a way to sell more books than I buy... this would probably be helped by not looking in book shops or online book retailers for inspiration, as it's only going to result in me finding more books I simply can't do without...

So how am I going to sell my books?

I have my online shop where customers can browse and buy....

I go to fairs and do book signings... my next one is at Long Marston near York on 4th May 10am- 4pm

I have my little flock of sheep which were new for Christmas 2013 and were the cause of much entertainment and quite a few sales of But I'm Not Sleepy - the book the characters are from.
