Frohliche Weihnachten!
Ooh!
I just sold my second book, Dance Your Way to Psychic Sex, to Random House in Germany!
It will be published in German, so you lot won't be able to read it, so ner. Apart from Mike, who speaks German. And me, who supposedly does. Well, I did German A level, 20 years ago. But I was also a nanny in Germany. 21 years ago. But I have read German books, whole ones, and understood them. So there.
Don't worry. A UK deal, not to mention other parts of the world, should follow soonish. But I have to confess the idea of it only ever being published in German does rather tickle me.
It's Very New News - I only found out today - so I don't yet know when it will be published or what it will be called or anything like that. I'm looking forward to the title. I hope it has some really long words in it, like strassenbahnhaltestelle, or hotzenplotzenkopf. One of my mum's books was published in Germany as Die Geheimnisvolle Fledermaus, which I always thought was lovely.
So! There you go! Published again! Have some more exclamation marks, cos I'm feeling generous!!!!
Only yesterday I was filling in a form to join some online thingy for authors, and giving them the details of my book wot was published all that time ago in 2004 and feeling like a bit of a has-been, but now I am a will-be again. Woohoo. See, look, I am a proper writer, I am resisting the urge to use exclamation marks.
But then again...
Prost! Frohliche weihnachten! Donner und blitzen! Schwachzinnige!
Woohoo!!!!!!!
