It's getting close to that time again.
There is nothing like signing into your blog and finding comments like this one.
"I live in Canada and I am the Grandmother of Noah. I was talking to my hairdresser about "The Hairy Plug Monster" and he knew the book. As it turns out, it's a favorite of his son's. I was delighted to know you have reached international fame! [and not just from a proud grandmother".
This is all very heartening and I still think that slowly and surely The Hairy Plug Monster will take over a small percentage of the world. However, this week was spent focusing on our next publication -
Be Careful Ethel, which again is aimed at the 3-6 age group with illustration supplied by Kim Eagle and additional post production jiggery pokery by Kul Cuthbert. Using Blurb.com we were able to produce a mock up of the book and make changes as and when necessary.
Once we have the layout perfected it will be time to start the whole promotional thing again. Registering it with Nielson and sending out another batch of emails to the hundreds of bookstores, schools and libraries in addition to maxing out on Facebook and Twitter etc.
At the moment this is definitely the quiet before the storm. Early reviews of Be Careful Ethel have been very positive and some have even said that they enjoyed it more than The HPM. ( if such a thing is possible).
