They say all politics is local. And promotional campaigns need a local base too. So I’m delighted to announce that our local supermarket, McCrystal’s XL, will be stocking Talkin’ Squirrel Blues.

It was quite a thrill to see my humble little poster making its presence felt on the edges of the local notice board!

And then finally, amidst the puzzles and the gossip, a talkin’ squirrel settled himself down into the local literary scene.

If you’re in Jenkinstown, do support your local supermarket!
