advance word
Advance word on me book, over at the Forbidden Planet blog, from "Mae in Year 4" here.
Thank you, Mae.
I liked it because of the excitement – I loved the way all of these exciting things just kept happening to them by accident, and it was really funny.
Thank you, Mae.
Comments:
Hi, Dave, just read about your book over on Thomas Taylor's blog - it looks superb: from the cover alone I am buying it.
Mae's comment surely heralds the voice of a future leader - brilliant.

Thanks very much, Rachel, (both for the kind words and the sale). I hope you enjoy it.
Now that the book is actually out I'm interested to see how it gets on in the big wide world. I'm proud of it, I think it's pretty good (in as far as I feel able to judge without a bit more distance from it) but now I'm waiting to see what anyone else makes of it, whether or not anybody buys it, whether or not it even gets into a decent number of shops in the first place, if it does get bought then whether or not it's enjoyed...
The waiting to find out might drive me mad if I didn't have a load of other stuff to get on with urgently.
Anyway, ta very much and do let me know (genuinely either way) what you make of it.

It must be a tense yet exhilarating time, I bet.
"A boy and a bear in a boat" is now sailing to NZ. There are two great indie book shops in Auckland, I'll be sure to name drop you next time I'm in :)
And I'll definitely let you know, in all honesty, what I think.
