New Friends and New Readers

You could say that after the trauma of two house moves I’m truly back at work. In June and August I was invited as speaker to two events, which I’m delighted to say went very well. At the first, the local branch of the WI in Kilham  (appropriately named for me!) I extolled the virtue of e-readers where any book, not available in a Large Print version could have the font enlarged, opening a wider range for the reader …. only to find that the majority of my audience already knew and had one!

At the second, The Melbourne Countrywomen’s Association, having mentioned the next Greek Island Romance, The Orange Grove, was nearing completion, I left with an order for a signed copy of the, as yet unedited, book clutching the payment and purchaser’s address.

I enjoyed both my visits, chatted with lots of interesting people, men as well as women, and as a treat I took the in-house editor with me … she doesn’t get out much!
