According to my listing on Waterstones, it’s now 91 days till publication – not quite time to start counting down, I suppose,  but almost.  The website is set to go live at any moment, and I have started putting ‘author event’ dates in my diary.  The reality of being published is starting to sink in!    It all feels very exciting, and I’m feeling a bit like a kid in a sweetshop – just loving every minute.  Real life goes on, though – it’s exam time at school, and mountains of exam papers need marking.    I am also editing the second novel,  which will be on the shelves in July next year.  So much to do, and the year seems to be disappearing fast.
