I had a successful book signing and sales at the launch of Dizzy Izzy and even sold a number of Scruffy books too. Grosmont bookshop, Guisborough book shop, Coopers of Pickering and North York Moors National Park visitor center have taken copies of Dizzy Izzy to sell alongside Scruffy I have made a start on the second Scruffy book but it is going quite slow as Christmas has got in the way but I am hopeful that I will soon get my writing head back on. I entered an Amazon competition with my version of a rework of a Christmas Carol but it wasn't considered good enough to win. I struggled to keep under 1,000 words so I think I might have another go and submit it to the People's Friend as I would love to get involved in writing for my favorite magazine. I am in dialogue with someone who will be probably using the same photo on her new CD cover as I will be using on the cover of the next Dizzy Izzy book and we will possibly be linking the 2 items. In fact she has offered to write a song especially to accompany the launch of this book but as this will not be until the summer I will keep you all posted
