Wow just signed up the 25th author to take a stall at the forthcoming indie book fair in Farnham Surrey on 7th march.
Should be a cracking day.

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Reviews are subjective! Sometimes I’m sure I’m reading a different book… 😳
