Nearly Christmas!

Well it's nearly Christmas again, I didn't sell as many books at school fairs as I did last year, but then money is tight at the moment. My best Christmas event was a Christmas fair in the furniture shop in Green Hammerton.

The book launch at Borders was by far the best event of the year.

Next year I need to work more on publicity and getting my books out to a wider audience. 3 of my 'Monster' books have sold in Norwich recently direct from Trafford, so that's a step in the right direction.

Merry Christmas to everyone reading my blog, and here's to a successful writing year ahead.

Credit crunch?

The Christmas fair at Green Hammerton went pretty well, but takings are down at school fairs. I've got 2 more fairs to do, 5th Dec Manor CE school (York) and 12th Dec. Scarcroft Primary (York).

With the weather the way it is (snow, turning to rain with gale force winds on the way) What better pastime than reading. Let your mind travel the pages while you stay snug and warm. To order on-line zap over to my website http://www.anne-m-stephenson.com/ (pay no p&p throughout December 2008)

Christmas fairs

I've got my first Christmas fair of the season this Saturday 22nd Nov. at:
The Main Furniture Company, The Green, Green Hammerton, near York.

As well as organising fairs, I've been writing articles. I was asked for a piece on book signings/launches for the Self Publishing magazine, I sent an article and photo in, which were accepted for their spring edition to be on display at London Book Fair!!

I've also done some rewriting on a story. Work is currently been held up by the antics of a kitten who is demanding I throw a rolled up piece of paper for him, as bored kittens find their own mischief. He's such a character he's bound to turn up in one of my books before long.

Top of the charts!

I've been trying to hit the top of the chart on the independant authors book chart, and this month I've done it in style - with all my books - numbers 1,2 & 3
