It’s a busy season in the Vicarage. These last few weeks we’ve had a Confirmation service, multiple bring and share lunches, sick kids, secondary school open days and a new Ministry Trainee all arriving at once. And to top it all, my book is about to be published. Less than a year ago I was up front for a few brief seconds in a seminar at the Midlands Womens’ Convention and next Saturday, as a direct result of those few words I shared (mainly about this blog), my book will be available prior to the official publication date at this year’s convention at Derby County Cricket Club.
Normally IVP send their authors their own special copies before the book goes on sale. But my book has gone so close to the wire that the first copy I see will most likely be with Jonathan Carswell of 10ofthose, who is running the bookstall at the convention. I shall be at the convention with some lovely ladies from my church, but am hoping to be about near the bookstall for a bit. Maybe I’ll see you there?
The Good Book Company have been publicising The Ministry of A Messy House too. We had this flyer in the post a couple of weeks ago:
Look! On the same page as C S Lewis.

Hurrah! Congratulations on getting this far. Make sure you practice your autograph. Who knows how many fans you’re about to acquire?
Exciting! Look forward to reading this (although have to say I’m super tempted by baking through the bible as well…!)
