One of these days our paths will cross! Yes, the evening went well, although, as I said, it would have been good to have more people coming through the venue. But we'll try again next year, perhaps a little earlier in the year or in some different format.

The book market is now over for another year and yes, we did have a great afternoon and evening, even though it would have been good to have more people coming through the doors and checking out our books. It was so good to talk with the other authors though, while the highlight for me was getting to talk to a young woman who didn't know there were any other Christian authors around but happened to see the ad for our market on Facebook via a friend's post! So she drove quite a way to meet us and I was able to tell her about the various ways Christian authors support one another here in Australia. It was worth it just for that, in my opinion.Jo-Anne Berthelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775045057529728396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-15950772784439506992013-12-06T01:28:42.157-08:002013-12-06T01:28:42.157-08:00Thanks, Iola.

Actually, this book market wasn't my idea--it was the brainchild of Katrina Roe, a children's book author and radio personality here in Sydney. We owe her a big debt for getting it off the ground for sure.Jo-Anne Berthelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775045057529728396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-58439252784629995092013-12-05T16:32:09.227-08:002013-12-05T16:32:09.227-08:00Jo-Anne, I hope you all have a fabulous time at th...Jo-Anne, I hope you all have a fabulous time at the book market. A great idea and I wish I lived closer to Sydney so I could be there. It's so important that we support each other in our writing endeavours.
