My
new Amelia Carr came out in paperback two weeks ago, and I’ve been
very busy promoting it. This weekend I signed stock in two Waterstones
book shops – Bath and Taunton – and did two radio interviews,
Saturday on Radio Somerset, and Sunday on Radio Bristol. I’ve also got
several speaking engagements lined up for June – three library events,
and an ‘Evening With Janet Tanner’ as a supper speaker at The Kings
Arms, Litton. I’m beginning to be terrified I’m going to forget
something – my calendar has never looked so full. And then there are
the dentist’s appointments, hairdresser (to get my roots done), and a
mysterious entry that says ‘Dan and Amelia’, which presumably means I
am booked to look after my two youngest grandchildren.
Then
there’s my new Twitter account – 36 following so far – and my new
Amelia Carr Author Facebook page to be kept up, and sales to check on
Amazon – very exciting when the graph shows a sudden steep slope that
you’d need crampons to climb.
And
my patio pots to be planted up – I have a lot of those, because much
of our garden is in the shade – and the patio table is groaning with
trays of geraniums, lobelia, petunias, begonias, etc etc, and perhaps I
should spray the roses and honeysuckle now that it’s turned damp
before the black-spot and blight takes hold. And I’ve got to remember
to get my courgette pots out of the airing cupboard and see if the
seeds are sprouting ….
All
this, and trying to write a new book too! My head sometimes feels as
if it’s bursting. It’s no wonder my blog gets put on the back burner!
So
perhaps you’ll forgive me if I keep this one short and sweet. But I
promise, honestly, that I will do an update very, very soon …
