Reasons to be cheerful Part 2

January 22, 2008

1. I joined a Pilates class this morning on the advice of my physio. It was very relaxing (apart from a few painful bits) but I found out I have the flexibility of a plank of wood. I also giggled during the whale music. I’ve booked for next week.

2. I saw both my books in WH Smith! Hurrah and yay! I finally feel I’ve arrived. I’ve never seen my books in any WHS before because it seemed that whenever I’ve had a book out, LBD haven’t had a WHS promotion. I was beginning to think it was Just Me… WHS is the best known book retailer in the UK. Even the Lichfield branch had two copies and I signed them. VBG at last.

3. I want to introduce you to a new author. Her name’s Elizabeth Hanbury and she’s yet another writer who’s been published since joining the Creative Writing and Fanfic section of the secret North & South website. Her Regency romance book, The Paradise Will, is being published by Robert Hale very soon. Here she is.

AND… a Stop Press 4th reason to be cheerful.

When you’re writing a book about a posh, sexy, adventurous doctor who specialises in tropical medicine, you don’t expect him to actually exist – or for there to be two of him. I hope you’re all going to watch hunky Doctors Xand and Chris, the Medicine Men Go Wild, tonight. I will be!

   Hi P,

   Thanks for the mention on your blog and for adding my link 😉 BTW Your web-site looks fantastic; it’s easy to navigate and packed with info. Funny you should mention WHS… I spotted DE in my local WHS this week and picked up a copy. Yay!

   Whale music?! I would have giggled too 🙂

   I remember seeing Decent Exposure in my local WHS as soon as it came out 🙂

   By the way, I got tagged and I’ve passed it on to you. Sorry!
