Phew!

It's one thing to be offered a book deal - quite another to have the contract in your sticky little hands and be signing it and then taking it down the post office to post away the old-fashioned way. The relief!

The book in question is my latest novel, 'Serpentine'. The publisher is BeWrite Books. As to what the novel's about: Friedrich Nietzsche once said, 'Art is the proper task in life', and as an artist myself, I'm not about to disagree, but what happens when creativity becomes an obsession which threatens to derail everything else in a young artist's life, from her personal relationships to paying the electricity bill? What then?

Certainly great news. I understand the relief. I'm anticipating the reliefon Friday when the launch of Hedd Wyn's book is done and will, I hope, not have caused me any of the problems I keep dreaming about. Extra copies arrived this morning and I am more broke than ever. All this fuss and I didn't. of course, even write it.
Good luck to Serpentine/
