Yesterday was the one year anniversary for the self-publication of my book. It has been a steep learning curve for me since then. I didn't have a website and my marketing skills weren't great. All I knew was that I wanted to write and publish a book for children and maybe some adults, who like me enjoy fantasy stories. I am still coming up against barriers to getting my book into indie bookshops because I decided to go down the 'Print on Demand' route. Also the fact that there are so many celebrity writers in the same genre does not help, as I can never hope to achieve the same exposure for my humble book. Undaunted I carry on and the work on the sequel to 'Bluebell Lodge' is ongoing.
