Arrival

[smokingboot]

After three weeks of waiting, the proofs for my novel have arrived; looks like publication will be a little late! It could be worse - it could have gone to press without my seeing it. My inner control freak would have had hysterics. As it is, I now have proofs, a bio, a dedication, a pic and potentially some appendices to send. Plus I have a show tonight. Jesus. So why am I sitting here when I have so much to do?

Cos I'm scared.

The proofs are in my inbox and I haven't even opened them.

Pre-ordering is possible now I think, but the book should be available quite soon *fingers crossed*

Oh, and have a return uber-hug:-)
