Good and Bad News

Let’s get the bad news over with, so that we can all relax after that.

Ridiculous pricing of various aspects relating to maintaining this website means that I will have to stop using it. In fact, I have just found out that I can no longer sell from it, which kind of makes a whole mockery of having a website. I have now deleted the ‘Shop’ page that used to allow customers to submit orders.

So, instead of a lovely website, I am currently updating my page on Facebook to take over the role. It will be very basic, of course, but at least it will still give people somewhere to learn about my work. You can find me on Facebook at claire nicholas - author. The lower case ‘a’ in author is important; an upper case ‘A’ in author is for my personal Facebook account.

At some point, I will also be doing less book signings. With five books in tow, transporting several copies of each one, with all of the accompanying promotional material, is more awkward than I had bargained for. That means, yes, you’ve guessed it, I will have to rely on using online platforms to handle the sales for me. However, I still have plenty of stock at home, so I suspect I’ll be able to continue with my personal way of selling for some time to come.

And now for the good news!!!

I am currently amending some of the pages in the Sunwood books, to make them more acceptable for the online platforms mentioned above. The stories themselves will not alter, nor will the illustrations; it is only parts of the pages leading up to the Prologue that are being altered.

Once that is done, I will be collecting reviews - but not from family or friends. If anyone is interested in acting as a reviewer, then do please contact me at clairenicholasauthor@gmail.com Thank you.
