A little bookshop with big ideas

I have an online bookshop... it's tucked away down a back alley where no one can find it.

So what is the mission...?

Well to open up that back alley of course, or at the very least, to put spot lights around the entrance and make everyone who passes want to know what's down there...

So here's the plan...

I'm running a special promotion:

When? This Friday 18th July 2014

Why? because I can - I love being my own boss.

What? I'm calling it 'Make me an offer Friday'

What the...? On Friday There'll be one book up for grabs, and I invite everyone to make an offer on that book, and the best offer gets the book.

The details...? The details will be on this page in the coming days, so watch this space...

Terms and conditions - lets keep it simple. There will be one book only, up for grabs on this offer. The highest offer gets the book, by the end of Friday 18th July 2014 Uk time, and my decision is final.

Designing a marketing hat... letting loose your imagination

I've got my marketing hat on this week, and trying not to get distracted by designing a hat instead of trying to figure out the witchcraft that is internet marketing - maybe a witches hat... oh, that might send the wrong message, especially as there's a black cat here somewhere among the tabbies...


But maybe a witches hat with a twist... yes, everything has a twist these days - you see this is what happens when I try to bring my brain onto a sensible subject like marketing... it gets all creative and goes off at a tangent.
So... lets go with that - lets design a hat... 
I'm thinking a witches hat, but in purple instead of black, and a tabby sat on the brim instead of a black cat - reaching up for the pom pom on top, ooh ooh and streamers flowing from the top. This is sounding more like a cat toy than a hat - hey it's duel purpose...
Any ideas anyone? Come on lets get creative...


I'm thinking something a bit wacky, that'll stand out and get noticed...

...because cats love to be the centre of attention

Meet Bumble - from Outnumbered by Cats, giving his own input to proceedings...

Not much happens around here without a bit of furry input - in fact there seems to be fur everywhere...

Here is Bumble taking an early interest in the book.

The marketing team - making marketing fun

I've decided that I need some help to shift my stock of books

- so I've brought in a marketing team.


They've agreed to work for commission of food, toys and cuddles... with a possible bonus of a new 'kittie corner' if they do really well...

They were full of enthusiasm to go to the book signing...

Look - I just fit...

Let me just check you've got everything...

I think the cats thought they should go too - after all the sheep went...
