it was awesome

Evening All

How are you doing?

Wow what a week I have had! It was half term so took my kids to watch Batman the Lego Movie...one word...awesome

What was also awesome was the time we had jumping up and down on the trampoline at Jump Nation in Runcorn :)

To crown it off today I only went to visit pupils of Malvern Primary School Liverpool

Record breakers! I was told my hands will ache after signing so many copies of The Bee Hive. Guess what? They were right

80 copies is no joke!!!

Thank you all for supporting me so much. What have I done to deserve all this love? Don't answer, just keep on loving

The Bee Hive at Malvern Primary School Liverpool...

Evening All

How's it going?

For those on half term with the kids how has it been?

Mine has been fab! My kids and I have been swimming and then they had the 'popular' non gadget Tuesday. They all succeeded in going the whole day without playing on any gadget whatsoever.

They got a lovely glass of hot chocolates filled with marshmallows :)

Regards my book well I spent the day calling local bookshops and seeing if they would stock our book and I'm happy to say the outcome was very positive

I got an email from a bookshop that has already ordered the book today! wow

Progress and thanks to you all very much so.

My third boo is going well and I'm into the 30,000 word and nearly finished. The job is not complete by a long shot as I still have to edit it and cross all the dots etc but I'm proud so far.

Okay so I'm off to do some typing please keep tabs on my twitter account @simonadepetun and @thebeehivenovel too

Oh and I'm at Malvern Primary School Liverpool this Monday 27.2.2017 to introduce them to The Bee Hive Novel so its going to be fab

Ciao for now x

Liverpool Fever

Hi Everyone

How have you all been and how's the week gone and of course the weekend?

My week was busy at work and at home. My 10 year old son had a coupe of trips with scouts and school and he proudly achieved his scout silver award #proudmoment # prouddad

Anyway I can see the finish line with my third novel and I must say I'm very happy how it is progressing. Its hard work when you are a full time manager married with 3 kids under 13 but if you love to write then you always find time TO write

I am looking forward to my author visits to 2 schools in Liverpool Malvern primary school and woolton primary school

I cant wait. I love working with kids and my years as a school Teacher, well priceless

My twitter account is growing thanks to you all so please keep tabs on that @thebeehivenovel and please drop me a line to say hi

Remember as a writer its not just about what you write but how you write it

All my time as a writer I have learnt that you should never give up. You will find your niche and you will succeed. Keep working hard and keep believing

See you on twitter x

yesssssssssssssssssssss

Evening All

How are we doing?

So yesterday I gave out leaflets about my book to parents at the local guides that my daughter, the book's illustrator goes to.

It only happens that I handed a leaflet to a very nice lady who only happened to be a Teacher at a school in Liverpool

The next day, just like magic, I get an email from the school wondering if I would like to visit the school to mark World Book Day

I was like yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!

So that is how my second author visit for 2017 is on. Don't forget last I had 11 in total so this is encouraging news

Also encouraging news is the fact that I contacted a few local bookshops and they are all only interested in stocking copies of The Bee Hiveeeeeeeeeeee

What about that then folks?

My publisher got my daughter and I to do a short video of us reading from the book for National Story Telling week

I sent that the other day so please have a look and let me know your thoughts on that
Lastly as you know I have sent my second novel to the publishers, you will so love this just as much as the bee hive. So on my third novel I have hit over 20,000 words
yeah #believeit

So over to you guys, let me know your thoughts and please keep supporting me
This year 2017 is going to be massive for us all
