I’m working two jobs, my garden is a weedy mess, in a week it is the school holidays, I have nearly 100 essays to grade, I’m training to teach yoga, lately I only get to see my husband at bedtime…
…golly gee, I think I might publish a book.
While I’m at it, why don’t I start a new blog?
Some of you might say ‘why start a blog right now, Helen?’ and cynically think that it is just to publicise the book, that it is all about self-interest and the blowing of one’s own trumpet…
You’d be right.
The book is coming out with a wonderful small press, Seraph. When you publish with a small press you are accepting that there is little marketing budget and everything you can do to promote your own book is going to help a lot.
Welcome to my self-promoting soap-box.

Helen – The book’s looking good – looking forward to it. I like that it’s called The Comforter and you only see your husband at bedtime!
