It& #39;s 101 days til my novel & #39;DAISY ON THE OUTER LINE& #39; comes out. My marketing budget is £0, so I& #39;m hoping to get a huge celebrity to buy my book & lead me to a bestseller. Over the next 101 days, I& #39;ll be tweeting 101 of my fave Scottish celebs & seeing if they& #39;ll help me out. HWG!
