Release Day for TSK!

22nd February has finally rolled round, and I'm very excited about the release of Salisbury Key into the big wide world. I almost didn't live to see it happen. I rewarded myself for getting another book out there by purchasing some glorious high-heeled boots, in which I felt like a million bucks until I tripped on them and took the most amazing flying-rugby-tackle dive onto the pavements of Newcastle. I'm laughing over this now but at the time it was painful, not so much physically but in terms of the incredible, crushing embarrassment. Still, it's an ill wind - I was helped to my feet by an attractive young student who summarised my performance as "very impressive". You know, you kind of hope accidents like that will decrease as you reach a certain age, along with nicking your shins with the razor in the bath and frying your hair off with peroxide, but apparently not. I still can manage a really good pratfall to pay for my vanity.

What has all this got to do with the release of the book? Very little, except that I'm grateful not to be in hospital with a broken wrist and therefore still able to be here, typing and enjoying my release day! (I do have a bruise on my - er, we'll say "hip" for decency's sake - that bears a striking resemblance to the biohazard sign on Salisbury Key's cover, so I'll take that as a good omen.) Feel free to come and chat with me about the book, here or on Facebook. I'm crazy busy at the mo but would love to talk to you.
