Thanks to everyone for all the lovely messages on my publication day yesterday, and a special thank you to @FavelParrett, Tony Birch, @LaurieSteed and @MeredithJaffe for taking time out to read and endorse a debut novel. Feeling very grateful!

Lovely round up of a terrific regional festival - thanks @Irma_Gold - I would never have guessed you were once a nervous public speaker!
I had such an amazing time at Write Around the Murray and I’ve finally found some time to write all about it. Up on the blog now.
