OMG - book!

[strange_complex]

So I get back from a rather wearisome training morning, and what do I find in my pigeon-hole?

This:

(Also available here and here, but Blackwell's have the best picture.)

My copy is an advance - it actually becomes available to the general public from 1st December onwards. But, fundamentally, I am now a real, live published author. Wow!

NO-ONE need feel obliged to buy this just because they know me. But if you're interested I can a) give you a bit more of an idea of what's in it than the web-sites do, so that you can decide whether you'd like to buy it or not, and b) order it on your behalf at a 30% discount (i.e. £35 rather than £50).

In the meantime, please excuse me while I go and spend the rest of the day on an excited high...

Go you! And what a great cover, too. When I get a copy, will you sign it for me please? Then I can say 'I knew her when', and be all smug. :)

Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with that! It's my own photo, but I think they did clever things with the colour balance to make it look better than it was!

And yes, I'm happy to sign your copy if you'd like. You might also find you want to check out the acknowledgements page at some point... ;)

Wow, I'm acknowledged? That's so sweet of you! Thank you! I feel all sheepish and blushy now...

Well, your proof-reading was really helpful! It would have been rude not to thank you. :)
