All of you who have written a book, especially a craft book with diagrams and pictures, know that what eventually appears within the covers is just a fraction of the work. Here is some of the work in progress -
In the past I have enjoyed the process more than the end result, but I must say that working with Vivienne at Rainbow Disks has been very pleasurable and I am very happy with the finished ebook.
Of course I have known and worked with Vivienne for quite a few years and she has become a friend. It was she, when she worked for David & Charles, who commissioned my first book HOUSE AND GARDEN SAMPLERS and I remember her phone call asking to meet and discuss it. I was so thrilled, as it had long been an ambition to write about sampler making and I still look back and savour that exciting time.
Having a book published and on the shelves of a bookstore raises mixed emotions. On one hand you are pleased that it is there at all and look around furtively to see if anyone is interested - they usually aren't. Then you worry that because there are copies on the shelf they aren't selling! It's a case of a glass either full or empty again but that's the way if affects me.
Now, of course, we are in another age - books are marketed very differently now to then (the olden days book wise). I can write telling you about my book here in my workroom and it reaches all over the world - it's wonderful and scary at the same time!
