Wow, thank you so much Emily :o)
ReplyDeleteHa! You sound like you're hyperventilating, Jo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen :)
Kim and Jo, I'll get those books off to you asap!
Helen, I've just checked with M&B, and it will be on the shelves next week. My bad, I thought it was out this week!
ReplyDeleteI did hyperventilate a little, I admit it! Like I said, I never win anything, even though I often enter draws like this :-) And I've been thinking I needed to get my hands on some more romances (research etc etc), and then this surprise! Still doing the happy dance :-)
