I am Lyn Blackledge, (an ex teacher) and have been selling children's books for 17 years.I have sold for various publishers but now have a variety and am adding to the range as and when I discover gorgeous new books. I am having a lot of fun and making a lot of friends. I also run other businesses from home so basically I have my own big department store!

I have recently become a distributor for Wikaniko - (helping people take small green steps to save the Earth without costing the Earth) http://lynsgreenbiz.co.uk I also enjoy helping people save money on their essential household bills (http://lynsutilitybiz.co.uk) I am also a Rotarian and am a past president. - motto service above self and I love helping to fundraise for charity as well as enjoying the camaraderie of the Vectis sunrise group. I have the responsibility of being a carer for my mum and at the other end of the scale I am granny to Charlotte, Nicola and Jennifer. As you can see I am quite busy but I love it and enjoy life to the full.

Lyn’s Book Biz

Lyn’s Book Biz

For seven years, I have been an organiser with Usborne books. I have throughly loved my Usborne career as I travelled the length and the breadth of the country from the Isle of Wight to Aberdeen. I finally decided to move on to pastures new and so have resigned my position with Usborne.

There are several new challenges and I am looking forward to them all. I have become an independent distributor for a company that helps others save on their essential bills. For this I will be trading as Lyn’s Utility Biz I am looking forward to helping people save  money and also recruiting other distributors who want to earn an income by helping others.

I have also become the advertsing consultant for The Rainbow Directory . This is a family directory with a distribution of 20,000 copies across the Isle of Wight 3 times a year. 17,000 copies are distributed via the school book bags.

I have also just become the feature writer for Wightblog  which covers news and events for the Isle of Wight.

My brother has also asked me to be his marketing manager for his photographic business and I am just awaiting his new website.

I also have one or two other things up my sleeve – to be revealed soon. That should keep me out of mischief for a little while. In between times , I am granny to two gorgeous little girls, Nicola and Charlotte who are 2 and have just started preschool. They now chat regulalry to me on the phone telling me what they have been up to. 

I am having a great time and really looking forward to the next few months with all the changes.

There will be changes to this site so please WATCH THIS SPACE!!
