My my, how the dinner table has turned: last Friday I was taken out to lunch by my publisher, to celebrate the fact that UQP has bought my book and will publish it next year. It was such a relief to feel an instant rapport with the people who have the power to help or hinder my book’s progress into the world; so many times this relationship is forced and strictly business-like.

Apologies, generally, for the lack of posts – this will be rectified in the next couple of weeks.
