Brown Eyes book sales are going very well. Since September, I have been invited to attend many different events e.g. educational/business conferences, social and cultural events for book signings and enjoy the journey that the book is taking me on.

Book reviews
Book reviews have been great and I attach a few here. Reviews are very important for book promotion purposes and I would ask anyone who has purchased Brown Eyes to visit www.amazon.co.uk and write a review – it can be as brief or as long as you want. Thank you.
