How pleased am I?
25 August 2009
Phone call from my agent just as I landed in Oviedo airport two and a half weeks ago (and for anybody who doesn't know northern Spain, Cantabria, Asturias, Galicia, the Picos de Europa and Santiago de Compostella - all I can say is: GO THERE! Or rather don't, because I want it all for myself...). Anyway... phone call, which I almost ignore on the basis that I am on holiday and don't want any bad news to spoil the atmosphere. But no - she is calling to tell me that Tesco Book Club have chosen SOME OTHER EDEN as their book of the month in October! Thank you, nice Tesco "real readers" judging panel!! I am thrilled!!! Also mightily relieved, as this may let me off my strategic blackmailing campaign of everyone I know in the hope of selling at least a few copies... Still, all you dear friends out there - this doesn't let you completely off the hook!
Have your say
