Do they mean me? They surely do because now there’s a press release from the lovely Lyn at Choc Lit to prove it! Honestly, I still can’t believe it’s happening; it’s a very strange feeling to think that something that began with an image in my head now has a life of its own.
I’m very excited to be joining Choc Lit (isn’t that a fab name?) because I had a Mystic Meg moment when I read about them. You see, it was winning a tin of chocolate at primary school in a national essay competition for my story My Life as a Cocoa Bean (a tragedy – I can still remember that ‘Oh, damn!’ thought when I realised there was only one ending to that particular tale) that started it all for me! It wasn’t just the name of the publishers that attracted me ‘though; I like to have fun when I write and I also really enjoy writing from my hero’s point of view so I felt that my novel would be a good fit for them, too.
Luckily Lyn, Choc Lit’s Marketing Director and the team at Choc Lit agreed and I’m thrilled to say that Turning the Tide will be out for the summer next year. Oooh, don’t wake me up anyone!

LBD, well, it squeezed past Ma without comment. Then again it probably wasn't shocking enough for her :{ A chocolate-themed party is a very good idea!
Tam, thank you! But will you have time to read it with all the books you're currently writing and promoting?!
Sheepish, good news for NRs; here's to more next year! And thank you.
Sally, thanks for dropping by, but shouldn't you be unpacking?! Good luck with moving in and thank you!
Helen, thank you! It is cute, isn't it! (Will join you for a dance, I think!).
Caroline - welcome... I probably shouldn't say this but I can't wait to read it in book form either!
