In the absence of a publisher, an agent or anyone who can actually promote my book, I'm taking on a challenge.
I'll ask someone with a large following to repost a message about my book every day until they do.

I am reading Musings from a Greek Village and enjoying it hugely. It speaks to my second life as a Lesbian, which is difficult to explain in Bucks. On a cold, dark and rainy day, convalescing after a total ankle replacement, you are bringing some light into my life.

This is a study of Efstatios Zouros who founded the Zouros Taverna where my family and I spent many happy hours and ate and drank like Greeks. This is why we bought a house in Greece. Grandad Zouros was an extraordinary man, and I along with many of our friends, were delighted to have known him.
