Did you know that I have egift cards for my website?

It can sometimes be difficult deciding on a print size for a friend’s wall, the right coasters for your auntie’s living room when you can’t quite remember what colour scheme they’ve gone for, or even being sure if your mum would prefer a donkey or an otter notepad! So, I thought an egift card, where they can choose from any of my products, might be a good idea (and potentially a lot less stressful if you’re not a shopping-loving person or - like me - you’re not great at decisions!)

the books sit upon the shelves
lone
gathering dust
like whispered kisses
of skin
waiting to tell
secrets
about people
and places
and things
but
the biggest secret of all
is that today
is bookshop day
and you can get
10% off new books

In crimson, orange and bronze, autumn had arrived.
Fox had spent a rather enjoyable morning searching for the perfect collection of leaves.
She'd finally found it.
With a joyful soul and playful heart, she jumped.
In one fine leap, she pounced to catch her shadow.

Am actually quite moved to read the thoughts of the actors and director about Leonard and Hungry Paul.

I honestly never expected any of this. I was just typing away for my own entertainment and a book popped out.
