How Good it Feels to be Part of a Deal!
Selling a book as an author
Can be a true uphill climb
I know there are people who would love my book
They sometimes feel hard to find!
Thus, being included in promotions
Especially when it’s unexpected
Is a welcome boost, to tell the truth
For me and each person who gets it!
I received an excited message from a friend this week, saying “I’m sure you know this but your book is 99p on Kindle! Amazing!” I did not, in fact, know this! It transpired that my book has been chosen as a Kindle monthly deal title, making it 99p for the month of April. After a tough week, this was a huge boost for me. I do all I can to share and promote my work in my own but it undoubtedly makes a huge difference when it included in promotions such as this - truly a moment to celebrate! Especially after my book tour earlier this year, I feel more than ever that my book reaching new people is a truly positive thing. You can get a copy here!

Going Where there are Accented Stairs!
Going down stairs of stone
Make me feel like I’m on an adventure
If water is also within sight
It feels more exciting than ever!
That is how I felt this week
On the way to Shakespeare’s Globe
As my map took me on this journey
Downstairs from the busy main road!
The image of these stairs in central London, framed by the turquoise lamp and railing, was too lovely to pass through unacknowledged! Every adventure film I watched as a child involved steps of stone at some point, which is exactly how I felt as I descended these. I was on my way to take a picture of the Globe theatre before reaching my ultimate destination of the Tate Modern museum, but this moment unexpectedly provided happiness of its own!
And finally…
A Spring Birthday, the Trees Sing Hooray!
I came across a fresh new plant
Much welcomed in its youth
By nature’s confetti, the blossoms above
Showering the little shoot!
It’s a very first birthday party
For a plant only starting its life!
Many such celebrations are happening
It is making spring gloriously bright!
I was stopped in my tracks by this little shoot, taken root and growing leaves! I was delighted by how it seemed the blossoms from the tree it grew next to, had decorated its earth as if in welcome. Spring is just so beautiful! Every day, I see something that makes me smile!
Going into this week:
I am crossing my fingers that the days will be warmer! I am already enjoying the longer daylight hours and truly trying to make the most. I also am in need of great focus; I want to write several things and I am at the stage where further planning would only be procrastination, so action is the only course!
Thank you for being here.
Whatever you’re doing this week, I hope you have a wonderful one.
Thank you for sharing, delighted to have a copy of your book now - an Easter treat for myself! I’ve been enjoying reading it already ☀️
I am thrilled to have finally found a copy of your book a few weeks ago. I am trying to savor it and can’t wait to purchase many more as gifts. 🪻🌸🌻
