Yes, my lovely paperback copies of Parallel Lives had arrived and were waiting for my with my editors! Trying to open my “goody box” seemed to be the most challenging part of this exercise. In fact, it was more demanding than writing the bloody book!

Presenting me with a knife was a bad idea, especially when my hands were shaking like I’d been on a binge-drinking session, and my stomach was full of jumping beans. However, I got there eventually—all fingers intact.

I tentatively removed the bubble wrap; the book was on springs, just like a Jack-in-a-Box. It leapt out at me, as did the words on every page.

Mine! Awesome! And I’m so happy to be able to share it with all you wonderful readers out there.

eBooks are lovely, but you can’t beat a thick, shiny, pretty book—order your copy right here.

Thank you again for all your support. I’m one ecstatic bunny.
