Happy Monday, have a great week.

It’s that time of year again when we are all scrambling around trying to get gifts for our families. Writing Christmas cards and wrapping presents. It can be quite busy and hectic at this time of year.

It would be really kind and fantastic if you would consider my book A day in the life of Russell Sprout for your loved ones.

Do you want to bring in happiness, joy, laughter into the festive season. Then look no further and give Russell a chance to make someone’s Christmas.

A book is a perfect gift at Christmas, but maybe you want to hear and read the book together as a family with the fantastic new audio book version. Narrated by the amazing and talented Peter Coates.

Buy now

It would be awesome of you to consider this book, but also it would be great if you could review it and let other parents, teachers and family members know, so they can decide if it’s an audio book for them.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🙂🎁🎁🎅🏼🎅🏼🎄

Thank you, take care.

Hello,

Have a great weekend.

I just thought I would do a post asking for advice on how to add books to groups on Goodreads. I have googled and researched it, but I still don’t understand how to do it.

I am not very tech savvy so any advice, would be most welcome.

Thank you

🎤🎧 Publishing now.

A day in the life of Russell Sprout audio book will be available to buy in the next week-10 days maximum.

I have been told it can take up to 10 days for it to be live but that is just the maximum amount of time it can take to go live. So it could be much sooner depending on the amount of audios being published.

Perfect for anyone, whether you like to be read stories on you're commute. Perfect for those with visual impairment or ADHD who just want to be read to.

Share and let others know about the Russell Sprout audio book, especially if you think it’s suitable or it’s a audio book that might appeal to others, friends and family, teaches and parents.

It’s an exciting time as this is the first audio book I have created along side the brilliant professional narrator. It sounds brilliant as I have listened to the whole story.

Thank you

Amazon Prime discount day 7-8th October (24 hour discount day)

Yesterday I noticed on FB that Amazon Prime is having a 48 hour discount day on the above dates. I have requested that A day in the life of Russell Sprout can be featured in this deal and I have also requested the book to be half price, I don’t have control over the price but I have requested it and hopefully it will be half price.

So if you are looking to buy friends and family a gift (Maybe an early Christmas gift or birthday present). Or if you are a teacher and have been considering the book -This is the day to look out for, so pencil it in your diary or phone, better still add to basket (share the book and let other people know about the deal) check the links I provide on this post on that day and grab yourself a reduced book for one day only.

Go on grab yourself a bargain as I am not sure when it will be discounted again. Here’s the links remember 7-8th only.

I would also like to tell you that as of the 5th-17th I’m spending time with family and friends, so it will be unlikely I will be able to answer any emails or messages and comments on here, or any other social media.

Thank you all and have a brilliant weekend, take care.
