Hi Gaynor, Aw, thank you. I'm so pleased you enjoyed it. :o) Also thanks for your tips; we've had promo materials done and dropped off at various events and stores. Thankfully I am on the catalogue (if not actually stocked) for some of the biggest UK booksellers, which is a start. Getting into US stores seems to be much more difficult, perhaps because of the geographical challenge?
Iuse twitter and FaceBook, the latter far more effectively it seems.Yes, having a website for the book has proved invaluable. I have a page for the book and pages forthe magazines I write for. Networking via events and FaceBook seems to have worked wonders!
I'll be part of the Essex Book Festival in March 2011, giving a talk at Colchester Library. I saw your post about Welsh greetings in the Colchester Tourist Centre cards. Perhaps Colchester is making a move back to its Celtic past? Or perhaps its "Little Wales" area isn't so little any more...
Best wishes for the New Year and thanks again, Ceri

Hello everyone,
Thought you might be interested in hearingabout my new book, Celtic Maidens. It's a supernatural thriller based in the enigmatic and enchanting Preseli Mountains of Pembrokeshire, Wales. The tale draws heavily on the local lore, legends and landscape of this wonderful area, which even today is sometimes called the land ofmagic and enchantment- gwlad hud a lledrith.
Here's the blurb for you -
Celtic Maidens tells the story of Sin Derwyn whose life holds few pleasures except for her friends, her interest in local folklore and the standing stones until the day that Ryan Ackley arrives in her remote Welsh village.
Sin and Ryan are reincarnations of Celtic lovers who were slaughtered long ago. They are unaware that obsessive love, power struggles and murder have followed them down through the ages. Thwarted in ancient times, a murderous spirit has followed them through time and now, with them all reunited in the 21st century, he plans to fulfil his malevolent vendetta...
Reviews so far have been wonderful, this is an example from Amazon (UK) though the book is available through Amazon.com too. "From the moment I picked up the book I couldn't put it down, you are transported to a different time in place, where the smell of the moors and the touch of the stones are brought to life in the most detailed and amazing way. The intricate wording and the way that the tale of loves from past to present are portrayed are beautiful. Spell binding... Brilliant!"

If anyone has ideas on how to promote this book, especially in the States (on zero funds) please get in touch.
