#LostandFound in Guildford !

What a fab night we had  when we took our #LostandFound tour to  Guildford Waterstones – hosted by the fabulous Amber, chaired by the wondrous book blogger  Faye and live tweeted by the nibble fingered Jim @Yayeahyeah ( even though he was poorly).

Amber heard a rumour we liked Prosecco and gave us all a box of these yummy treats! Thank you Amber!

IT’S GREAT!!!!!!

That’s pretty much it – except to say it takes a loooooong time. Or this one did. Lots of behind the scenes negotiation in which my agent, Sophie Hicks, more than earned her money. The skeleton deal was done four months ago, in November 2014.  My first lot of edits have already gone back. Still, this felt like a significant milestone on my publishing journey Continue reading “What’s it like…Signing Contracts” →
