Pop Up Horsham: From Start Up to Stay Up

Pop Up Horsham Shop Share launches on August 3rd with retail space for seven entrepreneurs per month for six months to showcase their products. Daisy White is a ‘Pop Up' pro, having worked with many businesses over the years to create pop-up shops, markets and festivals. Daisy White's Booktique is an award-winning literary concept - championing independent authors.

Daisy White explains: "There is a need for a pop up scheme operating at a local level working with the local community, especially in more rural areas. Pop Up giants such as Appear Here are inspirational in terms of their service and city coverage, but I would like to see more home business out on the high street, with the dual aims of more vibrant retail opportunities for shoppers, and business education and help for local entrepreneurs."

She adds: "We are very excited to have the full support of Emma Jones and her team at Enterprise Nation who have been inspirational in terms of guidance and advice."

As well as providing opportunities for shop-sharing Pop Up Horsham aims to guide entrepreneurs as their business progresses, or those who have already grown their business and want a physical High Street presence to add to an established web-based outlet by utilising other vacant units in the area.

Taming Tigers Synopsis

If Cinderella carried a gun and was just as set on murder, as she was on finding her happy-ever-after...

 Taming Tigers is the first in a trilogy of YA novels that follow Talia's journey to a better, more prosperous life. The novel opens with the 17-year old scrabbling for a living as a seamstress in one of the many refugee camps of war-ravaged Arista. When her fiancé, Keller, presents a dangerous, untested route of escape (stowed away on a freight train across the desert) she is quick to jump at the opportunity.
The journey doesn't quite go to plan and Talia is left alone in the middle of the desert. Her dreams of marrying Keller and finding refuge beyond the reaches of the war seem more distant then ever, as she is forced to choose between love and revenge.

 Talia's character is inspired by the many powerful and brilliant women that the author, Daisy White, has known in her life and the locations in the novel are influenced by the glimpses of countries Daisy ventured to during her career as a member of cabin crew jet-setting around the world. Daisy's portrayal of refugees and the camps constructed to house them were heavily influenced by depictions seen all too regularly in news, films and documentaries. The heroine fits perfectly into a literary world that has already fallen head over heels for the likes of Katniss Everdeen (not to mention Bathsheba Everdene). A concoction of evocative mysticism and gritty fantasy, Taming Tigers is a novel rich in danger, adventure and thrill, but is still grounded into a world we recognise today.
