No…. but we’re getting closer.

In case you’re wondering, I’m referring to the publication of my book. This week I’ve been in contact with both my publicist at Flux, who outlined all the things that will be happening, and also my editor – who has emailed regarding edits/revisions. So it’s all very exciting and makes the prospect of holding my book that much closer.

I also need to be more proactive regarding marketing my book over here in NZ. So, next week I’m going to see about arranging a book-signing. Now, that is seriously scary, not least because we haven’t lived in this area very long and I don’t have any friends close by who I can enlist to attend….. which means…. I have to rely on real people (totally unconnected to me). What if no one turns up???

I won’t go there… Anyway, I’m sure the shop will have contacts…. and maybe I can bribe my friend who lives only 2 hours away to attend….Kate are you reading this?????

   I’m sure plenty of people would come! If nothing else, random bookstore browsers would be curious and stroll up to the table, and then you’d reel ‘em in!

   So very exciting! Of course people will come … and if not, Jennifer Weiner got a whopping one person when she went to one city on her first book tour, and look how that turned out for her!
