Birthing A Book

On Sunday, there was the excitement of opening a WhatsApp message from your booksmith guru to find your finalised book cover. I’d sent a collection of review comments from when I’d shared WSG last year and the designer had selected a few to be included beneath the blurb. I’m blaming those for the resultant rush of sweaty-eyed emotion 🤣

Then there was the doubled excitement of arranging the moment when you will ‘meet up’ remotely to upload ‘Who Stole Grandma?’ to Kindle AND order the proof copy of the turny page version.

I just knew that I wouldn’t sleep for the two days to now, due to suppressed tiggerish excitement! Hence the bout of today’s very early morning bout of shirt ironing and household chores – I think I was ‘nesting’!

BUT . . .

(Cue images of an inordinately Tigger-type bouncing) . . . We did it! We did it! We did it!

‘Who Stole Grandma?’ is now out in Kindleland. Technically, YOU can’t buy it yet, but I HAVE seen the test run on my Kindle – truly lovely chills-inducing experience! The tiny amount of hair still remaining on my head was all stood on end!

After a long gestation period, WSG? is out in the world. Right now, it’s off with the clever Amazon people being checked over for any glitches, but, the first proper turny page book(s) will drop through our letter box this weekend and I will be able to order 100 turny page copies for those of you who have asked for a signed copy First Edition (which sounds rather grand!) and then it will go live and be available.
