Hello Strangers!


I've been meaning to update this blog and then I was in Goa with Ben for a month, which WAS wonderful thanks, and it's about to get busy with book launches... So, soon, dears!

Here's a photo I took on my travels. It was a slightly early celebration of our five year wedding anniversary – where does the time go? – and a more-than-slightly-late celebration of Ben's big birthday, so pretty rotten luck that he broke his ribs while we were there, he's been x-rayed and is healing well now though.

So this week I’ve been worrying about the guest list, nesting, cleaning, plucking, preening and outfit planning. I’ve also been wondering if any of the guys are having the same reserves and rigmaroles as me. Probably not. I doubt they’ve bought new heels. I’m having to put away any spoilt child tendencies too. For my book launch(es) will involve sharing the spotlight with the three other titles and authors that make up  the Parthian Bright Young Things series  – Tyler Keevil, Wil Gritten, and JP Smythe. This has pros and cons. Pros include getting to have more launches (Cardiff, Swansea, Bangor and London) as we pool marketing budgets, cons include the party not being  exactly  as you, singular, would want it – glitter, cupcakes, my favourite band in my case – and the impossibilities of arranging so many dates where all ...
