Books, Mud and Compost: Review: Marilyn Edwards - White Chin

Books, Mud and Compost: Review: Marilyn Edwards - White Chin

My first ever blog

Hi, I am Marilyn Edwards and I have written and had published four adult cat books which since they were first published in 1999 have reprinted lots of times and have been kindly received.   They are usually referred to as the Moon Cottage cat book series, although some people call them the Coach House books.

Now Catnip, a small independent publisher, has just published my first children's novel, which is called White Chin and it is beginning to get really good reviews.   The test of whether all this labour is going to work is how children themselves react to it.   I have started visiting Primary Schools recently to talk about the book and the response has been really wonderful.   What I am really longing for though is some volunteers aged around 12 years old to read it and give me some reviews.  The adults who have reviewed it have been great, but the test is the age group for whom it is intended.  I reckon a good reader from 10 years upwards could cope with it. My adult readers seem to love it...

So are there any volunteers out there?   Please get back to me via my website if you are interested here is the link  contact Marilyn Edwards and then when you are there, just go into the Contact button at the top right hand side of the page.  
 
Thank you and hope to hear from you - Marilyn
