I had a bit of publicity this past week.
There was an article in the NST about my new encyclopedia. Hopefully, with the publicity, the bookshops should stock more of the book now. I was a bit disappointed that some shops only had 1 or 2 copies hidden away in the children’s section. I think only MPH One Utama and MPH Mid valley have a good number of copies. Also Kinokuniya have brought in more copies. So if you can’t find them in the shops do ask the sales assistant.
There was another article in the Star, with the focus on my short stories and novels. I was too candid there and gave away some of the plot of my new novel. I aim to finish it by the end of the year … if I’m not too busy blogging or distracting myself that is!
So you see, I haven’t just been relaxing and eating and meeting up with friends on my fleeting KL visit. I even appeared on RTM’s Breakfast on Two, NTV7 and Astro Awani. I was on radio too with BFM.
I’d like to thank the good folks at National Cancer Society of Malaysia for organising it all. They kept me very busy!
I was going to write about my trip to Paris, but I’ll do that another day.

Greetings from the Isle of Guernsey.
Everyday is my birthday..will celebrate today by ordering a few of your books from Amazon. What a treat that will be.
Keep on keeping on.

I was just going to complain about not being able to find your books — aw shucks! why didn’t I think of going to the CHILDREN’s section!!! I know, I know.. it is probably the most logical place for the book to be located; but when you do not have kids like me, the Children’s section is never ever at the top of mind unless it is to buy a book for a kid (which is getting rarer ‘coz kids will TEXT you BEFORE their birthday that they would love to have Optimus Prime instead)
Ok… will go back to the bookshop tomorrow…

Ariffa – Hello again! Unfortunately there isn’t much on Amazon except Dark Demon Rising (which I highly recommend!) A Passion for Life is ridiculously priced! BTW, Happy Birthday!
Andrea – I know, it’s crazy where they put the books sometimes. I’d like it to be in ALL SECTIONS
But I can’t have my way all the time. I hope you find the book and enjoy it. Do ask the sales people to order more in! 
Chet – That’s great. And thanks!
