Hi all I am a newly published author and the marketing/promotional side seems to have dried up. So far I do not have an agent! I'm looking for any advice or tips that you lovely people could offer. May I thank you in advance.

Thankd Marilyn. Edinburgh Festival signing? Nice thought.
But, although we get a lot of birds and occasionally aircraft flying over, I haven't noticed any PIGS. But in this hot weather, who knows what odd things can happen! Maybe I can get my son to take a piglet, with wings strapped on its back, up in a glider to release it over the local fields. Better not give it anything to eat first!
I can see the headlines

THE PIG WHO DARED and other stories.

Hi Marilyn
Too hot for me but getting on. Lovely surprise yesterday - I was offered a book signing with full support - posters, press etc at our local OXFAM BOOKFEST. And our local bookshop wanted a few more of my latest anthology. Uplifting after recent struggles. I have sent you an email with some ideas for your book.

Jane and Gladys;

Nice to be here.
I do hope it's not too hot in Surrey and Cumbria. It's dreadfully hot here in Paris. It 's exhausting. I'm trying to write but it's just not possible.

SORRY! I will be putting Ernie's interview on Wrinkly Writers next week. It is presently on my blogspot site http://writingforjoy.blogspot.com
I really admire those authors who do so much for other writers.

I expect everyone has heard of Ernie Johnson and his Bookhouse project. If not maybe you should get to know him as he is showcasing authors and their books. I have done an interview with him on my Wrinkly Writers web site: http://gladyshobson.wordpress.com with links to his sites to find out more. I am very pleased the way I and four of my books are being showcased.
