We'd love to know what your favourite book was when you were a child. How did it inspire you?

We'd love to know so we can continue to make a difference when publishing books for our community.

I loved a series called Elizabeth Gail by Hilda Stahl. The main character was a foster child wanting to be a concert pianist, but not feeling good enough through past trauma. It inspired me to care for others and to pursue love as well as creative endeavours.

Just encouraging everyone, in the lead up to Christmas, to remember this time is not about the gifts!!! Let us be kind and caring to all around. Many of us will have Christmas wishes as simple as spending time with loved ones, to receive a word of encouragement, an act of service, a hug, and simple needs to be met. So, in the 5 days to Christmas will it be about last minute shopping, or meeting a simple need in someone's life? We are all Father Christmas, and we can all be on the hunt for a Secret Santa mission!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Also, thank you to My Friend Toothy for my lovely gold tooth earrings that I showcased that day. Everyone loved the Toothy stand, and I still have special Toothy book/ mirror cling discounts and bundles for anyone getting in while stocks last!!!

Giving a shout out to these two (see both photos) free of charge upcoming Christmas events that parallel our journey with literature! Our first book, Daniel Dinosaur's Dilemmas is set in the Forest of Marston Vale and we have always loved attending the kempston transfiguration church fair events in the past, the Christmas tree festival is a great activity!

Love to hear from those who plan to 'cheer-up' and attend both.
