Wow, what a whirlwind @bressingham_hall_events Chr Wow, what a whirlwind @bressingham_hall_events Christmas Fair was! So many people stopped by to find out more about the books, and many copies of the @magicalmistermishkins & Nero the Hero went to new homes. 

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by for a chat, fell in love with the books, and wanted to know more about the story behind the books.

My next stops are @wellbeckwellness Long Stratton Schools Christmas Market on Thursday evening and then Hempnall Christmas Fair this Saturday.

Enjoy your books, happy reading!

There are so many gorgeous stands here, and the event runs 10-3 today and tomorrow.

It is hard to believe that November is upon us. I It is hard to believe that November is upon us. I feel as though time has slipped through my fingers at an alarming rate lately, and I am shocked that we are now in the eleventh month. 

Far from being quiet, this month will be rather full on for me and my books. I will be at six events and I am looking forward to sharing my work with new audiences - and then enjoying the breathing space once home!

You can find full details on my website of where I will be, but here's an overview:

7/8 November - Bressingham Christmas Fair
12 November - Long Stratton All Schools Christmas Market
14 November - Hempnall Christmas Fair
21 November - Creake Abbey Winter Gift Fair
22 November - Christmas Market at World Horse Welfare
29 November - Assembly House Christmas Market

What about you? What are your plans? I hope to make orange-free mincemeat this month, as well as maybe a Christmas cake, but I do need to be realistic about time. Has anyone found that magical pause button yet? If so, let me know...

Have a wonderful month, my friends.
