3...2...1...Zero, baby!

3...2...1...Zero, baby!

Just over four months ago, I held my breath and clicked that self-publish button on Amazon. I took a chance on a story I loved, yet I was mindful that perhaps nobody else would. But they did, and I was catapulted into a world that I knew very little about.

Just over four weeks ago, I went on an amazing trip to New York City, where I met two women who loved my story as much as me. Andrea Barzvi and Kristyn Keene of ICM Partners offered to represent me, and I left New York with an agent and for the first time, feeling excited rather than daunted since this crazy ride began.

Just over four days ago, Grand Central Publishing offered me a Worldwide English publishing deal. How's that for crazy mad?

It has killed me to brush off all of your questions about This Man Confessed, the Nook and print versions of the This Man Trilogy, but now I can finally share my news with you. This journey just keeps getting crazier, and I would love it if you all stick around to continue it with me.

I’ll keep you up-to-date as things progress, and please please please, have a glass of wine with me.

As always, lots of London-ish love from this happy little British girl.
