Decision validated

An old friend unknowingly validated my decision to retell and publish old Setswana folktales. She SMSed me to ask me if I still remembered the story of Tselane and the giant, and if so, can I retell it to her?

She says she's the official storyteller to her nieces and the they are having so much fun she needs more stories for variety. Of course I was happy to send her a copy of the story. We'll see what she thinks.

I think she is the ideal target market for my children's stories - someone who regularly tells the children in her care bedtime stories and has a very keen interest in African folktales. Now if I could find more like her to buy my ebooks:-)

Meanwhile, I have a guest post on Young Work At Home Moms, where I chat about the benefits and challenges of working from home.  Check it out.
