I hate the militarisation of everyday life so when I say I am at the 'Front Line' of publishing it is with my tongue in my cheek. So, what do I mean by that?
Well, I am an author, a publisher and now, for the last few weeks, I am a bookseller. Hobart Books now has a Thursday stall in the Civic Hall in Longridge, Lancashire, with more venues in the pipeline. Sales are patchy even with various promotions on offer including a Mother's Day gift box, with a book, cosmetics and chocolate.
It's just hard to sell anything. That office suite in the Chrysler Building will have to wait.
