WINNER OF THE GIVEAWAY – liveotherwise … you have won my giveaway copy of The Courtesan’s Lover! I love the fact that you are still treasuring your copy of Terry Pratchett’s book 23 years after getting it signed. That’s really special! Can you email me your postal address, and I’ll ask the publishers to send you a copy direct. And Happy Christmas!!

As a writer, it’s no bad thing to go to your colleagues’ book-signings. I went to Ali Sparkes’ and had a good old chat with her -it gave her some company and me a chance for some of her lucky dust to rub off – I hope.

It is weird, isn’t it, talking to authors about their books – sometimes they are not at all what you expect from the novel!

Oh, Carola, I’d LOVE to be one of those reclusive authors … just tucked away writing without worrying about anything else!

I sadly have no real tale to tell as I’m very new to the blogging world. What I will say is how amazing and rather freaky it is to read a book that you adore and then tweet with the Author and discuss it.. Blows my mind everytime! Adored your His last Duchess and know I’ll love this book also.. Certainly will be one I read at the start of 2012! Wish you lots of success and happiness for 2012 xx

I love your book-signing stories, Gaby. Thanks for sharing them.

I can’t offer any advice, unfortunately, since my own publishing experiences go back to a time when publishers did most of a book’s promotion and only the most well known authors carried out signings and went on book tours. What appealed to me when I first started writing as a youngster was the romantic notion of being one of those reclusive authors one sometimes read about who wrote fabulous life-changing novels, but who had an air of mystery about them, because they kept out of the public eye. Unfortunately life got in the way and I never became of those writers

Ooh – have fun with the WI, Laura! Years and years ago, I once gave a talk to the WI about the Impressionists’ painting techniques … not sure they really understood what I was blithering on about. xx

Fascinating post, Gaby, and some good ideas. The great British public,eh, what would we do without ‘em! I’m talking to a WI in Wales in early Feb and will definitely take something to give away free…
