The first week after launching a new book is...

exhausting. Have wasted lots of nervous energy wondering what people will think of it, worrying if they'll like it . There's also the views of the family to consider. I felt really squirmingly embarrassed when I was told that both my mother and uncle were reading it simultaneously. Their comments were interesting. Then there's the colleagues at work who think that they are in it. I thought long and hard abut this and no one I know currently is in it and characters are generally an amalgam of people who I have met over the years and always tinkered about with and changed, especially by gender. Still it doesn't stop people  ,' I know who that is,' or 'She's me isn't she?'

Then there's the social media to try and keep up with and reply to. I just hope people do like 'Everything But the Girl' especially as I'm half way through a sequel. Phew, I think I'll go and have a lie down in a darkened room for a while.
