I'm a published author! and other giddiness...

Oh my word, what a weird and wonderful day...

I've just come home from work, where I had some great news, and a lovely chat with my boss, which would have made me feel giddy anyway - but that topped off a Purple Letter Day (even better than a red letter one) on which two of my titles were launched by the awesome manifold_press ! Hurrah!

Congratulations! That's wonderful!!! <3

Hee! Thank you, my darling friend... ♥

'Albert' is selling rather well, too ... he's the runaway leader today!

BTW you do know there's an episode of 'The Goon Show' called "The Affair of the Lone Banana"?

I think people always want to know what inspires authors, so even if you don't blog very often I suspect an insight into the process would be very welcome!

{{{HUGS}}}

Woot! Thank you, hon! Albert doesn't quite know what to make of that news... The curmudgeonly old thing doesn't know what Fletch and I see in him at all... :-D ♥

The Goon Show... Hee! No, I didn't know that - but let's pretend I did, so that you think I was making a clever cultural reference. :-) And, I have to say, The Goon Show is so very darned appropriate right now, in all kinds of ways.

Thank you for the encouragement re the blogging! I will try and pull a few (relatively sane) thoughts together soon.

Thank you so much for all your hard work, and for being so significant a part of this. If I do come out of this looking good, a lot of that will be due to you and the rest of the team at Manifold Press. ♥

I think it's the other way round myself, and I'm utterly perplexed (although not-so-secretly delighted) that an author of your ability hasn't been snapped up by someone else long before this. Let's hope this is Just The Start, eh?

[slashweaver]

To infinity and beyond! :-D

What a smart press, to snatch you up!

I give me continued hope for my own desires to be published! Yay!

Big congrats to you!

[slashweaver]

Thank you so much, my dear! They are a smart press indeed. :-D

I wish you all the luck in the world with your own dreams coming true. ♥

Hello, my darling friend! Thank you so much for all your kind words, and for your support. And indeed thank you for listening to my beloved Pete! You'll probably learn a lot about me from that very song. :-D I used to get all damp-eyed when he played it at gigs, cos it's all about 'living the dream' (as Bradley would say), and there have been so many long years in my life when I haven't done that.

I hope we'll meet up again soon, my sweet. I so want to hug you right now! ♥

Congrats! The web site and the book covers look gorgeous too! And I saw your update on GLBT bookshelf too. :) I must go buy Albert shortly... :)

[slashweaver]

Thank you so much, my sweet! I was delighted by the covers, so I'm glad you like them, too. And I very much appreciate the sale! :-D

Did you know that you are my model in Writerly Shameless Self-Promotion...? I'm sure I won't be as good at it as you, but you help me aspire, at least. ♥

LOL. Maybe you need to work up some library talks as well then. I'm sure UK libraries are also always looking for guest speakers.
