Reflections

Well, we’re halfway through another year. I have not been to many book fairs so far but book sales have been steady. I’m in a quandary just now whether to have Tartan Witch and the Highland Escapade reprinted. 🤔 I have The Wee Mac Book Festival coming up and I’m really looking forward to meeting the children in Arran and reading Tartan Witch to a new audience.
I was in Normandy for the 80th Anniversary of the D Day landings there. My father was one of those brave men who travelled in wooden gliders and crash-landed at Pégasus Bridge early on D Day. I always find it so moving when I walk around the cemetery at Ranville, the first village captured by the Allies, and reading the inscriptions on the graves. So sad. All the celebrations this year were well organised and Normandy was heaving with military personnel and vehicles. Perhaps I may be inspired to write about the experience, but not yet.

This week I was delighted to receive this photo, it’s always great to receive feedback and I do hope this young fan continues to enjoy my books. It’s never too soon to snuggle down with a good book!
