I can hardly believe it’s the last day of August today – summer’s already over and, for those of us in Britain, it never really started. We’ve had the worst summer weather (or rather, lack of summer weather) for years. I heard on the radio this morning that it’s been the worst August since records began in 1912. It won’t be a summer to look back on fondly.

Well, not from the perspective of weather anyways. But I will remember this August fondly as it is the month when I held my first Virtual Book Tour. It was only a short tour – 3 stops. But it was still a lot of fun and hopefully readers enjoyed learning a bit about me and my book, ‘Hitler and Mars Bars’.

For anyone who missed the tour and would like to catch up on what happened, here’s links to the other tour stops.

Guess I’ll go and start thinking about the Christmas Virtual Book Tour now…Maybe I’ll even do a bit of writing before that….But first I think I’ll go for a nice, brisk walk and imagine that the leaves are falling around me and it’s a crisp, fresh day in autumn – don’t think I’ll have to imagine for long…
