Paradise Gardens Festival!
Yay! I've just signed up to join the Victoria Park Bookshop tent at the Paradise Gardens Festival in Victoria Park E3! The Paradise Gardens Festival website looked so fabulous I was inspired into making this picture:

It's for real! Tall Story arrives in the post
It came in the post today!
Pretty!
It has yellow endpapers!
And a picture of me on the back cover!
And here's what it looks like naked.
Dontcha just love the silver embossed text?
And look! I'm featured on Tracy's terrific Tall Tales and Short Stories blog!
I'm so happy I could give away a copy of my book!
In fact ... why not?
The Tall Story book trailer is going to be finished within the next few days and I'm trying to get a whole bunch of my blogging friends (and relatives) to post it at the same time - our very own WORLD PREMIERE!
The idea is we all post the trailer on our blogs and facebook/or other profiles at the same time! Simple!
In abject gratitude, I am offering world premiere people an advance viewing of the trailer on a password protected site - AND a chance to win a freshly minted copy of TALL STORY before it's in the shops!
If you would like to join us - and you don't have to live in England to join - please send me an email on mumatwork AT blueyonder.co.uk with the subject header 'World Premiere'!
THANK YOU!
Oh someone pinch me.
But not too hard.
