My first author's gig!

On Sunday, I ventured out (nervously, I'll admit) to Farfield Mill in Sedbergh, Cumbria for my first official author's outing. Sedbergh was celebrating Sheepfest (as befits a town surrounded by sheep) and I was invited along as a "local author" to read from my book. My kids insisted I brought along our sheep stool to make up for the lack of sheep within the book…

The session was held in Clare Clayton's studio, so we had her original version of the embroidered cover design as a back drop to the session. It was a small gathering and it was lovely to read from the book and chat about families who struggle to deal with Alzheimer's when it hits someone close to them. There was some enthusiastic recognition from the kids when we also discussed how Katie has friends who are "BFF"s one day and your worst friends the next.

I sold some books, chatted about coming into a local school, and enjoyed having the opportunity to read from my book for the first time. Here's to many more such occasions!

Yesterday I was on the road delivering books again as Bookends in Carlisle and Keswick and Shades of Green in Kirkby Lonsdale had sold out. Brilliant news!
