I'm still recovering from losing my main selling event of the year, Wyntercon in Eastbourne. I need to seek out new events and fairs to take its place. If anybody is setting up an event in East Kent please give me a buzz on [email protected] or comment on this blog. Here’s the first sneak preview of Shea Pingle and the Swarm cover. I’m ready to begin the printing process, but holiday looms so I’ll be starting that element on my return with a view to launch date in October half term. Excited as usual. Looking for venues for the launch in October, have a couple in mind but always open to those offering. Its basically free PR for your business. Apart from sex shops and bookies because it’s a kiddies picture book, I’m open to most ideas. Have had a sprint on A Sackful of Dragons running off 6,000 words sitting in a summer fair in Faversham. Set in Margate, it features Dane Valley and Cliftonville. These events always help my writing. With nothing else to do but wait, I write, and write, and write. The illustrations for The Tales of Timmy and his Magic Toe Beans continue apace, coming close on the heels of Shea Pingle. Likely to be out in time for Christmas, the story is set in Broadstairs with wonderful panoramic scenes of the bay. Mustard and Marmalade Dachshund Dog Detectives has recommenced, and will be out in 2025. I’ve finished writing the Further Adventures of Timmy and his Magic Toe-Beans, half of The Unshakable Mouse is done and I’ve commenced a second Chicken Wizard story about swanies and duckies. I’ve also got the title, the Hairy Tortoise, who has a hairstyle like Elvis instead of a shell, but the story wasn’t hasn’t flooded my mind—yet. I’m expecting the USA influence of our hols to spur a story there. I’m also expecting the USA to provide me with more ideas for Aquasapien Four chapters. On the Aqua front the numbers of the original hard copies are dwindling. As the book has now been republished in two books, its becoming a bit of a sought after novel. Selling on one rare book site, Books that Expand the Mind, for £17.99 2017 1st Edtn/1st Prnt Signed by Author(s) AQUASAPIEN By Carol Salter New Fantasy — Books That Expand The Mind Its still £10.99 if you pick one up at Westgate Galleria, Westgate or Taddy’s Barn, Northdown. Happy to sign it too. Remember if you know anyone who would like an author trader at their event, or could host a book launch I’m all ears.
