The Rosie Project, lobsters and penguins...

It's now six months since we were up to our waists in water walking the Coast to Coast in Cumbria and Yorkshire, after each morning being greeted on Skype with the name of the country that had just bought The Rosie Project (my husband's first novel). Now we're back in London for the launch and I have to hand it to Penguin. Back then they sent us two wooden penguins in an orange suitcase along with cocktail booker and shaker- now we're drinking the cocktails as we look out of the 10th floor of the building on the Strand (I still feel like I'm on  a Monopoly board when I come to London). But several poor employees (I think they volunteered bless them) were out treading the pavements (it was release day)...dressed as lobsters. Why lobsters you might ask? Well doesn't everyone have a standardised meal systen with lobster on Tuesday...? Don Tilllman does, but you'll have to read about it...!
