Book Promotion in Springtime
Book promotion in Dingle can be more complex than you might expect.
Especially if you grow spuds.
Last year the tourist office in Dingle town offered me a window display to advertise The House on an Irish Hillside and Enough Is Plenty.
We put a kitchen chair, some posters, a couple of copies of the books and a pile of promotional postcards in the back of the car, added a twist of oat straw and a spade from the shed and drove them into town.
The lovely staff at the tourist office gave us a corner window facing onto the pier, right by the office where you book trips to visit Fungie ....

Then today I dropped into a friend's restaurant in Green Street ...
... and suddenly I realised Spring has arrived.
Her restaurant interior has been relaid out and redecorated. Her cards and menus are being planned and designed ...
