@bronwengriffiths.bsky.socialReposted by @hastingsbookfest.bsky.socialI had some more nice flashy news today but now in tears of frustration cos I can't work out card payment system. Tried online & phone help. Sending card reader back for refund. So if I do manage to sell any books at the Book Fair it has to be cash only @hastingsbookfest.bsky.social
@hastingsbookfest.bsky.socialLooking forward to all the sandy joys of the seaside
@christinamartin.bsky.socialReposted by @hastingsbookfest.bsky.socialThat was fun. Everyone was so receptive. Big thanks to my mum for trailing me and handing out my little promo postcards.
