My first book signing


I did my very first book signing today. I sold nine books in two hours (four to customers and five to the store). I don’t know if that is good, bad or indifferent but I was very pleased about it anyway. And I’ve been invited back for a second signing so onward and upward.
I was quite nervous about doing signings as I’m a rather reserved guy, but I found the whole experience really enjoyable. It gave me quite a thrill when people actually came up and wanted me to sign their copy of the book. I felt like jumping up and punching the air with excitement. LOL

Best time of the year


As I sit here editing my new book, I’m looking out of the window at a clear blue sky and a small woodland glowing red, orange and gold. A heron flies past every hour or so as it cruises the river looking for fish and the geese have started gathering for their flight south.
    You have no idea how much I love this time of year. The only thing spoiling it, is that the sweet corn has finished.
    Oh come on! Stop daydreaming and get back to work.
