First bite

First draft of my new book has just pinged off to the eagle eye of my agent. Yikes. Waiting for a response to a first read is always nail biting, especially if it's going to a candid reader. So much easier to be convinced of one's genius when no one else has read it. So much easier to laugh at one's own jokes. :)

Moving on, the paperback launch of my new book It Happened One Summer is slated for the 26th May, which is very exciting. Set in Cornwall during one long sexy summer, I hope it offers you a good few hours of page turning pleasure. It's probably my most sweeping novel to date. It's meant to immerse you like an Atlantic breaker. Oh yes.

That's the best bit about books isn't it? Total immersion from all the other stuff going on in the world right now. (Have just finished reading the brilliantly chilling Room by Emma Donaghue, like everyone else, and am still to come to the surface.)

Other good news - the days are getting longer again! Raise a glass to that!
