The County and Chale Show

This is Jo, short for Josephine, I have now met her three times. She has bought two books last year and enjoyed them so she came back to tell me, at the County Show in Cowes. She not only told me but with her powerful voice she announced it to everyone.

Of course she brought the third one. And whilst extoling the merits of my ability to write she organised Bob my husband on how she was to take payment for it, her daughter said very quietly to me, ‘She really does like them, she never stops telling me and everyone. She goes on about it all the time.’

Compliment indeed, thank you Jo however … she turned up at the Chale Fayre. I must admit I heard her before I saw her.

‘I loved the third book,’ Jo said … loudly. ‘I can really see the characters and where they are with your descriptions. Well done, when is the next one coming out? You must keep writing.’

I just had to have a picture of this lovely lady, she also took one on her phone too. Before she left, she gave one more market stall type yell to the other stall holders and public, ‘Buy this book, it’s very good.’

Jo, you are unforgettable, and guess what I have been doing these past three days, but writing, I have managed two chapters so far, but I am still at it.
