It's a book!

A LOVELY surprise this morning in the post. The arrival of a new-born book. Coming into my world after an 18-month labour neither kicking nor screaming. And the young fella already knowing lots of words. 

My editor hadn't told me she was sending it, so I had no idea to expect it, which makes it all the more of a thrill. Still a few weeks before it'll be in the shops, but this picture is proof it hasn't all been a figment of my imagination.
