Wow! I've been so busy since I ordered Stranger on The Point. Before the books arrived, I set up three book signings and started advertising on Facebook. As interest came through facebook, I sent everyone a message to make contact. Then I started on my list - the first of many - noting down what books were wanted and where people lived. When I had a delivery date, I then started contacting people and arranged my first delivery run covering Brookland, Lydd, and Dungeness in the morning and Dymchurch and some rural areas in the afternoon. The books arrived and I set out, with books and lists, delivering in torrential rain.
I love delivering the books. I get to meet so many people and everyone is happy to see me and interested in what I do.
The next week, I delivered to Lydd again, then along the coast - Greatstone and Littlestone - and to New Romney and St Mary's Bay. It was still raining!
After all that rushing around, I was grateful to spend a day at the fantastic Romney Marsh Visitor Centre, where I am always made so welcome. The book signing was made really special because both Leigh, who painted the hagstones on the cover, and Aaron who designed the cover, came to see me. It's amazing when people come especially to see me and buy my books!
The following week, I had a meet the author event in Mary's Tearooms, Dymchurch. Such a lovely morning, sitting drinking tea and eating cake, while chatting to different people who came in. It was a great atmosphere and the cake was yummy as always.
It's been exhausting but brilliant fun and I couldn't do it without all the support I get from local people. A huge thank you to everyone who buys my books, comes to see me and writes positive comments on my facebook posts.
