We have only
one week left until my first book signing event of
2017, and I am rather excited now! I haven’t been to Telford for several
years, so that will make a nice change to my weekend routine. I look forward to
seeing all my author friends and colleagues at the event, and of course,
meeting new readers. Come and see me! I am eager to see you.
After
considering my options with regards to book swag, and the fact that my business
finances are rather slim after a few advertising experiments, I decided to get
creative with my offerings. Before I became a published author, I spent a lot
of time making greetings cards and bead jewellery. It was my method of
relaxation after a long day at work in a demanding job. This was before I had children,
of course, when the evenings belonged to me. I would stamp and colour and
embellish to my heart’s content.
The arrival
of my babies interfered somewhat with my hobby. Now, whenever I step near my
craft cupboard, I hear cries of, “I want to do painting, Mummy!” and “I want to
do crafts with you!” That is lovely, of course, but with young children comes a
lot of mess, and I cannot simply sit and craft in peace. So, I started doing it
in the evenings again. I set aside my marketing and computer work, and
revisited my old hobby. And I have created some beautiful book themed greetings
cards and bookmarks that I will bring to the book signing event. What do you
think?
