Benny gets his buzz back

 My apologies I haven't posted recently. I needed to have a break. Things with the book have been so hectic since it arrived on my door step. I am now up to the next delivery of books, that means I have sold more than 200 books. I now feel more rested and slowly am preparing for my visit to Glen Iris Primary in book week. I am having some trouble in getting Benny into bookstores but I will keep persisting. My editor Sally Odgers has invited me to participate in an interview blog. This is a great opportunity to work on answering questions on Benny. So as you can see I have lots to keep me occupied.

My Book Launch, reading my Benny book to children, speeches and signing, It was a fun and very successful community event. I was told by my friends and family that they had a good time and it was a positive buzzy afternoon.

 Wow what a month. Sorry I haven’t been writing in this blog. I have been busy with the tasks I need to do as an author. Getting Benny in book stores, keeping up with financial responsibilities, selling and signing copies.  More recently I had been working on my book launch. Like the book I had my friends helping me with the preparations and on the day.  The launch was on June 22nd and many people attended. I was fortunate to be able to read Benny to children. I then did my speech and Q and A. I was amazed how I spoke infront of 50 people. I felt so good speaking about my book and celebrating community and raising awareness of mental health at my launch. Then I went to the lounge room to sign books and be photographed by Vikki. I was so exhausted at the end of the day but I was so happy that I had achieved so much, so rewarding. I have heard that it was an enjoyable and positive event.
