Last year I was a guest of the Avon Valley Writers Festival held over two days in Northam and Toodyay. What a wonderful experience, the staff from both libraries made us very welcome.
My handsome son drove me way out in the country and made me feel safe – wish we could do that sort of thing more often.
One of the books I took with me for sale was my Christmas story ‘Santa’s Swim’ – if you’d like a copy, I still have them for sale here.
‘Santa’s Swim’ hardcover version (not available)
I also ran a coloring competition which was very popular – both winners loved their prizes of a copy of the book ‘Santa’s Swim’, a little Santa statue of their very own and a certificate to frame.

This is the Christmas Cake decoration which inspired the story.
The inspiration for ‘Santa’s Swim’
I wonder if they’ll bring out their book and the statue and read it again, this year?
