Oh, What a Night…..

Gee, those guys at Waterstones are great! Last night’s launch was terrific.  Lots of people, plenty of wine, heaps of books.  Thanks so much to the Waterstones team for providing such a fun and easy-going atmosphere, and for even taking photos:

The room was filled with people from all different parts of my life — friends, family, fellow members of the orchestra I play with, The Kensington Philharmonic, and fellow bluechrome authors, all of whom are so talented, so generous, and with wonderful books of their own: Leah Fritz , Mo McAuley, Ruth O’Callaghan, Sarah Salway, Poul Webb. Plus, a smattering of people I don’t know at all, some who are writers themselves in the earliest stages of their careers, other ex-pats curious to know how their experiences compare with mine. All in all, a wonderful night!

And then, I woke to find that the most lovely DJ Kirby had written a review of Tangled Roots and posted it on her blog.  My first review!  And it’s so beautiful I know I should never read another one again!
So, here I said I wouldn’t be blogging as much this week, but I can’t seem to stop talking to you and wanting to share it all with you. So keep checking in and don’t worry, I will remember that it’s “not just about me.”

      Wow, I think you will be a great OB. It seems like you have a real love for children, felamiis, and people in general. Sad to say that those qualities are rare traits in todays world. I believe not just anyone should be in just any job because you could be in a job that you hate and end up making everyone who comes in contact with you at work miserable. You have the joy and care to be great at your job and effect those you will be working around not only by your knowledge , but by your love for what you do.
