There's a buzz in the air this week as National Storytelling Week features in the calendar, giving me a very topical line of conversation for the week.
I spoke with the team at The Wee Hive - a local directory for all things family friendly in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire - to share more about my journey to self publishing.
In amongst the details about creating Big Dog's first tale, I also took the opportunity to signpost other local authors from across the North-east.
