A Quick Update

I didn’t manage to post as often as I would have liked but it was a slight improvement on the month before. Eight days in the UK takes me right off my tracks and last month I’ve been focusing on Alice; taking the advice I’ve been given and adding a couple more chapters.

The book is selling reasonably well given the limited amount of promotion I am doing. But both Joanne Phillips and Patsy Collins have featured me on their blogs which has increased my traffic but not the number of followers. Thanks to you both.

Jane Risdon invited me to join the Garden design, plants and nature group on Facebook. There are some lovely photographs on this page. She hoped that the extra coverage would create even more interest for the book.

I will try to pick up the momentum during October and will post more old pictures later in the week.

I have had some lovely feedback and a two further reviews for the book on Amazon.

  1. Ah! Success at last Penelope, I have managed to post something here. Phew! Well, firstly love the page and the photos and have found it all so interesting. Also, I hope joining the group will eventually bring traffic and followers here....perhaps you can put a link on the page again and description about your page. They are usually a great bunch, supportive of each other..try. I will do my best but I am away for a few days with limited, if any, computer access. So happy I can post at last!

    1. Thank you Jane - I'm glad you made it through to my page and that you enjoyed it. Did you sign up for email alerts? It would be nice to have you as a follower too.

  2. Penelope I just posted a long comment here for you and as I had to verify it to prove I am not a robot I seem to have lost it.Let me know if it shows up again and if not, I shall try again. I have not had luck before and have never got this far before either.

    1. Hi Jane, Not sure why this happened. I removed the verification from the blog folowing Patsy's advice a couple of month's ago that is why the moderation tick is on. I will check it again tomorrow. Have a good trip.
