First of all, I’d like to say a very big thank you to those of you who have so kindly pre-ordered Turning The Tide. I especially appreciate that vote of confidence because the book’s not even due out until June. It means a lot because I really enjoyed writing the novel so it feels lovely to have that support. Also, I became very attached to the characters and very much hope that you will enjoy meeting them too.
I understand that at some point yesterday the system had a Funny Five Minutes and the pre-orders got thrown around a bit. The problem’s been identified and my Amazon entry should be back to normal soon. But, just so you know, Turning The Tide is also available for pre-order at W H Smith's, Tesco and The Book Depository(free postage).
And talking of funny five minutes,Tom and I went to his uncle’s 80th birthday party last weekend. We had a lovely time, but, rather like those lost tribes, we don’t mix with many large groups of people now and have both gone down with really horrible colds. I felt so ill yesterday, I had to lie down for a while which, as my family will tell you, is unheard of. Unfortunately this means I’ve had to rule myself out of next weekend’s Llanelli Half Marathon, which is a real bummer, but sometimes you just have to give in. I’ve also been a bit tardy about visiting other people’s blogs so, if I’ve missed you, I hope to catch up soon.

Commiserations on the Llanelli half. I know it must be really frustrating to miss it. I've ruled myself out too due to ongoing medical doo-dahs. Very annoying. Look after yourself and get well soon.
I prescribe plenty of rest and single malt. (And enjoy today's lovely sunshine.) xx

Shame about the marathon, but there are more to come.
(Whatever will the dogs do if you're not running?)
(Hoping that all the pre-orders for your book will be recovered.)
Also hoping that you'll soon recover from your lurgy. Meanwhile, that ginger tea with lemon cure does sound good.
Fennie's comment about the dogs missing you did make me smile.

I also received an email from Amazon, but will now order it from the Book depository instead.
Jeanne, thank you!
Much appreciated, JJ.
Thank you HAH.
Ivy, that sounds good. Also, I was so busy thinking about this half marathon, I'd forgotten about the next. Good thinking!
Fennie - all in good time, m'dear! Now I keep thinking that the dogs will be extra keen when they see me next!!
Pip, thank you for the get well message and a big thank you for reading a taster of TTT!
Ah, thank you, Lampie! Happy writing to you.
Frances - Fennie always comes up with a pithy comment to make me smile! I'll be fretting about those dogs now! Thanks for the good wishes!
Pondside, it was quite tough getting to that stage - I kept thinking I could... maybe... do it anyway, but, for once, I'm going to be sensible!
FP, thank you!
Thank you, Pat.
Debs, your postman won't thank you - but I do!
Bradan... I think it's time for that large dram! Cheers m'dear. Hope you avoid the worst of the germs.
SBS... too true!!
