It's feedback like that, that makes all the effort worth while...

I had a good morning at Clifton Library Summer Craft Fair on Saturday. I met a lady who'd bought a copy of Doodle Mayhem from me at a Christmas fair, and her grandson had loved the book.

But the part that really made my day was getting an email later that evening from a mum who had bought a book for her daughter. She'd read But I'm Not Sleepy 8 times in the afternoon, and then again when it was her daughter's chosen story at bedtime, and she went to sleep with the little knitted sheep in her cot - it's feedback like that, that makes all the effort worth while.

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.
