Update

I'm still on holiday, but have been sorting bookish things out while I'm here...

There's a guest post by me on Strictly Writing here:

The order has been sent to the printer and the books should arrive on my doorstep in about 3 weeks' time, at which point I'll send them straight back out to those who have bought them. Currently 79 copies have been sold, and I'm keeping ten for myself, so another 11 are available for sale. I can't guarantee another print run but there may be one around Christmas time.

Right, I'm off to admire the view!

Have you considered a Kindle edition?

It's free and all and you still get paid for each one sold. I ask because (although I've ordered my proper one) I am really trying to buy things on e-books as much as possible what with facing ANOTHER move in a year and once again having at least 12 boxes of books to do something with...

I suppose I can see the point, but I confess I'm resistant for two reasons: (1) The whole point of this was to make a lovely book, and e-books just seem a bit wrong*, (2) I've run out of time. I'm struggling to do even the minimal admin involved in what I'm already committed to. Sorry!

*I'm aware this is a bit daft. If other people enjoy reading books this way, who am I to judge?
