dsc_0097I think for me, from a sales point of view, Book Shows are ‘hit-or-miss’ I Love taking to and with people about my books, but there are so many interesting books and so short a time!

I’m still working on a Short title list of the books I’ll be displaying and new (more) books keep asking to be brought to the show… Im at five boxes and adding… Certainly some one will ask about a book which haven’t brought with me!  But if you want something you don’t see DO ask!
