The York Book Fair


 





I will probably be mentioning this again, but Fantastic Books is going to be at the York Book Fair in December, and my three books will be there.  Without me alas.  But I am hoping for some sales.  And some of my fellow authors will be there.

So this blog could well be called: Please Buy My Books.  I have tried to make each one of them a page turner.

We woke up to a rainy Monday - quite hard to see where sea ends and sky begins.  As we had no meeting at the Kingdom Hall on Sunday, due to Saturday having been our Circuit Assembly, I will be having trouble negotiating this week.  Sunday felt like Monday, so I guess Monday will feel like Tuesday, etc.

Monday morning was my two usual Zoom sessions, but Col's Zoom with his brothers was cancelled.

I have posted some reviews of my books - and I have some lovely ones for which I am very grateful - on previous blogs, so I might look for a quote.

This is from a real author, on my Gordo Amazon page:

"This very unusual novel combines magical realism with tension, suspense and humour. Miranda and her husband Jim arrive on a luxury, but remote, island for a diving holiday. Jim will dive with their party, and Miranda will enjoy the sea, the sun and relaxation. But like all Paradises, something is lurking on the island that may not welcome the visitors. What is it that moves in the undergrowth as Miranda strolls round the island enjoying the night sky? Why is the long-awaited Gordo continually delayed - and why is it that one by one, Jim and Miranda's party, the only visitors on the island, are starting to vanish? WAITING FOR GORDO explores eco-destruction, responsibility, and the darkness that so often underlies the beauties of nature. Miranda and Jim are characters who engage and convince, the slow burn of the narrative means the tension gradually builds. And what about the golden cockroach? Highly recommended."
