Bad day at the office? Bet it wasn’t as bad as mine… my ceiling fell down! Oh yeah, ornate Victorian cornicing and all.
Just three days before this pic was taken, my desk was under here! I moved the desk to let the decorators in. They took down all the layers of paint and woodchip on the ceiling and several hours later: CRASH!! Obviously the woodchip had been holding the very water stained plaster together.
Right now, my house is like a bad relationship. I keep working away at it, hoping it will get better, but it just keeps on letting me down… I think we’re now at the couple counselling stage, just a few more rotten joists and it will be irretrievable breakdown, I tell you.
Nevertheless… a huge thanks to every single, wonderful reader who rushed out and bought Late Night Shopping to find out what Annie Valentine gets up to next.
The book has spent week after week in the bestseller charts and I really am incredibly grateful. Thank you!
And good news for all those very nice people who emailed to say: ‘There will be more from Annie won’t there?!’
Yes, there will! The next instalment of Annie’s adventures is due out in summer 2009. If that seems too long to wait, then I’d suggest taking a peek at ‘Did The Earth Move?’ my second book (if you haven’t already), because I can’t help feeling that the heroine, Eve, is a bit of a prototype Annie and I think you’d probably like her a lot.
