Thank you, everyone! You're all the greatest to share happy news with (and sad news, too). I can't imagine what it would be like without all my blogging mates.
I've stayed away from blog land all day today because I was doing a few tweaks to the ms. The great thing is, apart from a few words and a couple of sayings, my agent...OMG, I still can't believe I'm saying that, anyway, unless anyone she subs to says different, my agent wants to keep the Britishness.
My 2 lucky mascots, Tim and Ted, have behaved like angels today and let me just sit here and get on with the tweaks and I eed the ms back a couple of hours ago.
Off to play with the 2Ts before they have supper and then go to bed. Them and me *smile*
Yay, Pat, well done, you!!! I'm absolutely thrilled for you. Not in the least surprised, but thrilled. You thoroughly deserve it. And well done to the two Ts for helping.
PAT!!! I'm SO pleased for you!!! Fantastic news!!! Are you still doing a happy dance???? Absolutely delighted for you - and about b time! And T&T are FABULOUS - ooh, sorry, must pop into your blog more often.
Chris! Great to see you here. Still doing happy dance and while I was speaking to My Agent *big grin* on the phone Crafe Away got well replaced with the real thing(sssss)! And yes, T&T are fabulously gorgeous.
Hi, Tilly Good to see you again.
Thank you all again for your congrats - it means a lot!
Jill, either your clock, mine, or blogger clock was wrong then. I refuse to admit I can't subtract 8 Californian hours from B.S.T. *smile* Your life with mss is like mine with T&T. Stay up late and get up early!
Welcome, Robin, cousin-by-agent. I'm looking forward to hearing about your book, too.
WOW - what fantastic news! CONGRATULATIONS! I am very very excited for you. And those doggies are soooooooooo cute that repeated photos are perfectly okay.
I had my first publication when I was eight – a silly rhyme in my school magazine. A few years later I started writing children’s books - from board books up to short novels for girls and boys aged 8 - 10. As well as my own titles, my published books include licensed character titles and are a mixture of story/activity books, Annuals, a Sylvanian Families video and series books under an ‘umbrella name’ (I wrote 8 Animal Ark books as Lucy Daniels).
Nowadays I write short fiction for women’s magazines and Pocket Novels – “family and friends” stories set in the 1950s and also contemporary romance. My six Pocket Novels are also published in large print books by Ulverscroft and there is a new one coming shortly.
Also coming shortly is a Collection of Broome Park Prefab Village stories.
I live in a farmhouse on a sheep farm with my husband, Peter. We’re owned by Tim and Ted, our 2 Rough Collies, visiting wildlife and the sheep who graze in the moorland meadows outside my study window. The farmhouse and the animals often appear in my stories.
While I write, Husband up the Hill scratch-builds Historic Racing Cars in miniature. On show here: BRM Mk2 and Maserati 1949 Click on the picture to see more scratch-built miniature historic racing cars from the Posner 1950s Collection
