Last weekend, I was at Milton Keynes for the MK Lit Fest. I had a stall and I was one of the authors taking part in the Fantasy Panel. Big thank you to my author friend April Grace for connecting me with the organisers. <\/p>

My merchandise for these events is bookmarks and business cards, and of course my published novel. <\/p>

\"0k47j9z7eloy0up5qgh405milfepz1jbelh6o8ymuyaz0gwy.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"I also had leaflets with me about my upcoming book two, Sky Heart. Fingers crossed it will hopefully release later this year, but I feel like it could easily roll into 2023.<\/p>

\"fdb6gd4ut0ahqqh5yom4xv5susnvm7zru8en35snjnxzmncz.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"Every time I attend an event, I worry about what to wear. I was chatting with author Roxy Eloise who felt the same. She reminded me about the cool author T-Shirts J.D. Groom and Cassidy Reyne wore to Herts Book Festival. They had T-Shirts to advertise their books. These T-Shirts acted as marketing and a uniform of sorts. I told Roxy that I\u2019ve always wanted to create Merch around my brand and books but most POD companies want you to have an eCommerce site. I have a website already, and can\u2019t afford another one. <\/p>

\"mu4yo4nqoyqipsqmirg0qgb7id5vf3slyqg4mksqihqlpzki.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"MK Lit Fest was a success. I sold almost all the books I brought with me, ran out of business cards, and was running low on bookmarks. When I got home, I placed an order to restock.<\/p>

Daydreaming about if only I had a T-Shirt with my logo or about my books\u2026 I did a browser search and discovered TeeMill. <\/p>

Here I am. I\u2019m a YA Fantasy author. My books are set in Suffolk in the current day, and I weave magic into the real world with my stories. The stories have a strong romance plot, and coming of age themes. <\/p>
