I am over at the lovely Rox Burkey’s blog today with the first post in my Sir Chocolate Books tour which showcases the first book in the series, Sir Chocolate and the Strawberry Cream Berries story and cookbook. This post includes step-by-step instructions on how to make a house out of chocolate bars.

Haha, Jill, yes, I am not good without sleep, but I use every minute of the day which is why I’m tired by bed time.

Hi Norah, thank you. It is much harder to market books for children than books for adults, especially at the moment with the lockdowns.

I guess people like to see what’s inside picture books, and it’s nice to have hardcopies for children. What other reasons make it harder, do you think?

Well, I think it is an on-line marketing issue. Small children are not on-line and so they don’t know about our books. Parents often by a child a book in a store because the child shows and interest in it. On-line marketing only has the parent appeal and not the child pressure, but this is just my opinion. I have sold a lot more of my children’s books at live book shows and through visits to schools that through any social media activities.

Hi Tracy, the fondant work doesn’t take me that long any more because I have become quite practiced at it. Writing is much more time consuming.
