That vision always burns brightly ahead of them, allowing them to survive the vicissitudes that are inevitable in any new venture.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some would prefer a humdrum life but get thrust into the limelight and succeed. Others know that business is their way and they work hard to achieve their ends. I fit none of these business models. I like writing and in 2012, after many years of writing short stories as well as books, I decided to self-publish The Spider King. Easy you think? No, first I went on a course to learn how to load my precious manuscript onto Kindle as an eBook thanks to the patient help of my lecturers I managed it, but not until I had help from my son who suggested the right people able to design the front cover for both the eBook as well as the paperback. All sounds straight forward but in the process of uploading the book, you have to say who the publisher is. What?&nbsp;&nbsp; Then a bright idea sprang into being, I live in a most beautiful part of the UK and we have a well-kept secret, in April\/May we have the best Bluebell display anywhere, so why not Bluebell Publications? So the business came into being, very quietly with no fanfare or welcome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It served me well when I wanted to upload the next book, The Story Teller Gene but then it needed to expand. There are so many stories whizzing around my head like the Quartet of Innocence Series and others related to The Story Teller Gene. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/new-tessa-tighty-flip-1024x723.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150\" width=\"155\" height=\"109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/new-tessa-tighty-flip-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/new-tessa-tighty-flip-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/new-tessa-tighty-flip-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/new-tessa-tighty-flip.jpg 1148w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 155px) 100vw, 155px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are books for young children. They are Pterry Tighty the Bladder Pterodactyl and  Tessa Tighty Which cover subjects like bedwetting and bullying. Of the bedwetting series, one is aimed at boys and another for girls and a third is not gender-specific. These are hand-painted and work like hypnotherapy scripts.&nbsp;  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Octopuses--1024x1017.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-95\" width=\"203\" height=\"201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Octopuses--1024x1017.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Octopuses--150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Octopuses--300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Octopuses--768x763.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Octopuses--1568x1557.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Octopuses-.jpg 1921w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another book Princess Ree saves the Ocean again for children deals with plastic pollution in the sea from the perspective of Princess Ree for this one all the illustrations are crocheted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A New Book has hit the shelves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full Circle <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Full-Circle_ebook-cover_v1-1-655x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-317\" width=\"275\" height=\"430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Full-Circle_ebook-cover_v1-1-655x1024.jpg 655w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Full-Circle_ebook-cover_v1-1-192x300.jpg 192w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Full-Circle_ebook-cover_v1-1-768x1200.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Full-Circle_ebook-cover_v1-1-983x1536.jpg 983w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Full-Circle_ebook-cover_v1-1-1311x2048.jpg 1311w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Full-Circle_ebook-cover_v1-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\">Read all about this book in the following pages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:21% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"811\" src=\"http:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bluebell-publishers-logo-1024x811.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bluebell-publishers-logo-1024x811.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bluebell-publishers-logo-300x238.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bluebell-publishers-logo-768x608.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bluebellpublications.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Bluebell-publishers-logo.jpg 1475w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background Some folk are natural entrepreneurs, they see an opportunity and step out into the unknown with a burning desire to succeed.
