After PLR day, just one more example of how wonderful libraries are. Take a look at this lovely display of my Eddie Giral books in Rhoose Community Library for my event there next month. Thank you to the brilliant volunteer librarians.

Happy PLR day! Huge thank you to everyone who has borrowed my books in their local public library, and to all the wonderful libraries and librarians who work so hard. Every time a reader borrows a book from a library, the author gets a few pence and a lovely warm glow – and they all add up!

Word of advice to any book marketers emailing me. If you're going to offer to market my book professionally, it might be an idea to get the right bloody book. You know, one that I actually wrote.
