Congratulations on the book, Claire!! It will be gifted to nephews and nieces for sure!! It looks fab! And a debut of your very own - so exciting!! I relate to all of this SO HARD! Pre-publication (and post publication) marketing etc is absolute madness, and enough to send any old innocent children’s book author/illustrator quite bonkers! Good luck!! Xxx
Somewhere there is a garden store with a stellar herb section that will buy your POTSAGE stamp off of you! And congratulations on getting your work out there!
HAHAHA why didn’t I think of that! Off to local garden centres RIGHT THIS SECOND (I actually do need to go to one to return the broom I bought from them which fell apart the moment it touched a leaf 🍁😆)
What a lovely post to read what you go through when a book is coming out. I had hold my seat in anxiety dreaming of this. Wishing you all the very best for the book launch event. Let me know when and where is it happening, I'll spread the word if you want more people in there! :D And if possible I might join in, too. 🥳👍🏼
I loved reading this post ! It’s got my day off to the best start 💕 thank you ! (( now you’ve also made me continue debating if I should go to Bologna)

❤️❤️ You’re so kind and thanks for sending strength. I will suck it up like Voldemort 😂

Congratulations!
When you mentioned that stamp I was like oh a fellow ADHD’er here 😅❤️
Promoting books is definitely a full time job in itself!
James and I absolutely loved chatting to you and can't wait to share the interview soon over at Words and Pictures.
We hope you have a wonderful time in Bologna. I love it there!
Eek! Just reading your task list is making my palms sweat with anxiety! 😆 The book looks STUNNING Claire, you should be very proud.
Thank you for sharing those honest insights about your ADHD journey, I took the test on the app, it was very illuminating! 😳
