The waiting is over!

This week my Flossie Bonce proofs arrived. After last week's trauma of not being able to upload the artwork to my Printer's Dropbox, I received the proof copy on Thursday. 

The front cover isn't quite right; the Isle of Wight sticker is in the bleed area and not printed out, but they are fixing that and then we are good to go with printing.(My fault, not the printer's.)

Here they are.

And this is my favourite spread of the whole book! It's the front endpage.

If you'd like to pre-order a Flossie Bonce, you can do so HERE.

Really looking forward to showing Flossie off at the Isle of Wight Literary Festival. I'm doing two fairy workshops on Sunday 20th October 2013. If you want to book tickets, you can do so HERE and go to the bottom of the page to find my bit.

Thanks for reading! Bright blessings!!

I'm waiting.......still waiting.

I'm not very good at waiting. There's a lot of toe tapping and huffing going on at the moment because I'm waiting for the proof of Flossie Bonce to come through my letterbox. I've got a digital copy, but it's not the same. You can't tell if the colours are right and I reckon I read text differently on screen. It's easier to slip a typo or spelling mistake into somehing on screen. Case in point. 

So Flossie is nearly ready for print and I have been whiling away the days cutting out fairy wings for the workshops that I'm doing at the Isle of Wight Literary Festival. 

I'm doing 2 FAIRY WORKSHOPS on Sunday 20th Oct, where we will be making the wings look gorgeous! Come dressed as a fairy if you like. Whilst they wings are drying I will read, for the first time ever, Flossie Bonce. Books will be on sale at the pop up Waterstones shop at the entrance to Northwood House and I can sign any that come my way. Check the link for lots of interesting stuff going on that weekend. Every time I look at the website, more authors have been added. It's like the Magic Porridge Pot!!

In other news, the dogs are in a foul mood because I washed their blankets yesterday and made them smell of apples and daisies (according to the Comfort bottle) and they think it is an abomination. The keep giving me withering looks of disapproval. Ho hum. You live in MY house, you've got to SMELL nice.
