I second, or even third all the things said about Nadine. She is the reason why I am here, since if it were not for her, I would not have known about this wonderful place. She was also the first American to buy and read my book, and has introduced me to loads of wonderful people - such as Phil Harris for one (another member on here) who will be interviewing me for his radio show very soon!
Actually I am feeling knackered tonight - have been on my feet all day, walking round and round a hall full of 200 odd teenage boys taking various GCSE's (I work as an exam invigilator at this time of year). Was supposed to finsh work at 3pm, but did not get out until 5.15pm and then had to drive 18 miles home. What should be waiting for me though but a big box full of my brand new and updated books ! They look brilliant, and the new cover and font size make one hell of a difference.
I was struck as I opened the box, in the difference between how I felt opening and holding this one for the first time, as opposed to the original version, 11 months ago. I remember spending days looking for the postman and willing him to call, and then when they finally did arrive, weeping tears of joy and elation. There were no tears though this time, just a great big soppy grin. Will post the pictures on my own site, as before, in due course and tomorrow morning I shalle be sending out those courtesy copies that I have promised to a few people (including the lovely and very helpful Nadine and Paramour). Very well earned, both of them.
