As an independent author/artist this is a time to try to attract attention to one’s wares in the hope of *gasp* sales. Recently, while checking on the listing for
It’s been a weird few months. I’ve had four book signing events – well, three if you don’t count the Geeky Craft Fair at the Game Chamber. That one wasn’t an exclusively ‘book event’ but did demonstrate how there can be a lot of overlap between gaming/fantasy fans and the books I produce. Another truth
